AJA IP25-R — 4K SMPTE ST 2110 to 12G-SDI/HDMI Mini-Converter

Grass Valley, CA (September 4, 2025) — AJA debuted IP25-R, a Mini-Converter that connects SMPTE ST 2110 networks with 4K SDI/HDMI infrastructures. It de-encapsulates SMPTE ST 2110 video, audio, and ANC with frame-accurate sync to baseband 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 for confidence monitoring, playout, and routing in hybrid environments. With dual 10/25GbE, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, and four 12G-SDI BNC outputs, IP25-R delivers low latency video up to 4K DCI (4096×2160p60) with advanced HDR metadata handling. See it at IBC, Sept 12–15, 2025 at the AJA Stand 7.B19.

“SMPTE ST 2110 adoption continues to surge... IP25-R provides an intuitive and cost-efficient way to combine IP with SDI/HDMI so professionals can leverage IP while maximizing the life of legacy equipment,” said Nick Rashby, AJA President.
