AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G (HDR-IMGYZR-12G)

The AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G is a professional 1RU rackmount waveform monitor and HDR/SDR analysis tool designed for broadcast, post-production, and live production environments. It provides comprehensive video and audio analysis with support for 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs, enabling monitoring of up to 8K (UHD2) 60p signals. With advanced HDR analysis tools including waveform, vectorscope, histogram, CIE chromaticity, false color, light level, and data analyzer, it ensures accurate color grading and compliance with HDR standards such as HDR10, HLG, and PQ.

Advantages

Dual redundant power supplies ensure uninterrupted operation in critical workflows. The unit supports single-link 12G-SDI and quad-link 3G-SDI for 4K/UHD up to 60p, as well as HDMI 2.0 for 4K/UHD up to 60p. It features 16-channel embedded SDI/HDMI audio metering, gamut error detection, nit level display, pixel picker, and metadata analysis (ANC, VANC, HDR metadata). Remote control and firmware updates are facilitated via Gigabit Ethernet.
