IBC2025 in Video: A Triptych of Launches from AJA Video Systems

AJA Video Systems' Abe Abt introduces three new products from the company that will help the rest of us to keep watching and making video.

There's a fair bit of dense technical detail in this one, so if you need to follow some notes we've also written up a stand visit to AJA Video Systems at IBC2025 here.

In summary though, the ever-excellent Abe Abt introduces us to:

• Bridge Live 12G4 – The most powerful Bridge Live yet, supporting four channels of UHD/4K encode/decode with flexible streaming formats.
• IP25-R – A brand-new ST 2110 tool with dual 10/25GbE network ports, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, and four 12G-SDI BNC outputs.
• UDC-4K – A universal 12G up/down/cross mini-converter with 12G-SDI/HDMI 2.0 conversion, 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD scaling, frame rate conversion, and frame synchronisation. A powerful “Swiss Army knife” for both broadcast and AV installs.

And if you want the importance of AJA summed up in one paragraph, here it is.

"I'm sure a lot of people that are familiar with AJA have probably been watching TV over the years," Abt says. "You're watching a big game, you're watching a big tier one production, and you can see a monitor on screen somewhere. Well, taped to that back of the monitor, there's a little AJA converter, and that's kind of where we've always played."
