Signal Conversion

The AJA Hi5-Fiber converts HD and SD-SDI signals carried over single-mode 1310 nm fiber into HDMI output. It accepts SMPTE-259/292/296 formats including 525i, 625i, 720p and 1080i/p, making it suitable for professionals bridging legacy SDI sources to modern HDMI displays.

Build Integration

The unit connects via an ST-style fiber connector and requires the included DWP-U-R1 power supply for operation. Embedded 8-channel SDI audio is passed through the HDMI cable for a single-link audio-video path, while two RCA-style outputs provide a separate analog monitoring feed without extra cabling.

Thermals and Power

The converter draws power from the supplied external DWP-U-R1 adapter, keeping the main chassis compact and free of internal fans. With no moving parts, it runs silently during continuous operation, and the external supply isolates heat from the signal path for stable performance in professional environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 1080p output hold up during long recording sessions?

The converter supports up to 1080p resolution from HD/SD-SDI sources, maintaining that limit continuously as long as the incoming signal remains stable.

Does the unit run hot or make noise when left on all day?

No fan or active cooling is mentioned, so the device operates silently; heat buildup under continuous use is not described in the specifications.

What cables and power source do I need to have on hand before it works?

You need a single-mode 1310 nm fiber optic cable with an ST connector for the SDI input and the included DWP-U-R1 power supply for operation.
