Professional SDI to HDMI Converter

The AJA Hi5-Plus converts 3G, HD and SD-SDI signals to HDMI for monitoring in professional video workflows. It suits editors, on-set crews and live-event operators who need to integrate HDMI displays into SDI pipelines. The compact unit handles signal conversion without adding latency to the chain.

Upgrade from basic SDI monitoring

This converter replaces simple passive adapters that cannot handle embedded audio or deep-colour signals. The jump is worth it when you need to preserve 16 channels of SDI audio through to an 8-channel HDMI output. It also adds adjustable audio delay of 0 to 7 frames for lip-sync correction in complex routing setups.

Deep-colour RGB output headroom

A compatible HDMI monitor can display a 30-bit Deep Color RGB signal for critical colour evaluation. The 3G-SDI input ensures high-quality signal representation through to the output for RGB grading workflows. It runs out when the destination requires more than 8 audio channels or when the source exceeds 3G-SDI bandwidth limits.

Questions about this item

What mounting points does the Hi5-Plus have for rack or desk installation?

The compact Hi5-Plus has no built-in mounting brackets; it sits on a desk or shelf and can be secured with hook-and-loop straps or a third-party rack shelf.

Which step do users often miss when connecting the SDI source and HDMI display?

After linking the 3G-SDI input and HDMI output, you must set the audio delay between 0 and 7 frames to match the video path or lip-sync will drift.

Which parts of the Hi5-Plus will need replacement first in daily production use?

The SDI BNC and HDMI ports endure the most insertions; keep spare cables handy and reseat connections if signal drops appear.
