AJA DANTE-12GAM: Seamless Dante Audio Integration for 12G-SDI Workflows

The AJA DANTE-12GAM is a high-performance Mini-Converter designed to embed and disembed audio between 12G-SDI video systems and the Dante audio network. With support for up to 32 Dante channels right out of the box—and up to 64 channels with fiber or BNC transceivers—this powerful device simplifies audio routing in modern production environments.

Professionals working with broadcast, live events, or AV installations need reliable tools to move audio between SDI and IP. That’s where the AJA DANTE-12GAM comes in. It bridges the gap between traditional SDI workflows and the Dante ecosystem, enabling low-latency, high-quality audio distribution over Ethernet.

This Mini-Converter features a 12G-SDI input and output, supporting resolutions up to 4K/UltraHD. It can embed 16 channels of audio into the SDI signal and disembed 16 channels from the incoming SDI, all while pushing or pulling Dante streams across a standard IP network.

Need more Dante audio channels? Choose the DANTE-12GAM-TR-LC for fiber connectivity or the DANTE-12GAM-TR-BNC for coaxial. These upgraded models expand your Dante capacity to 64 channels and offer extended reach via SFP transceivers.
