The openGear Video + Audio Podcast

Mix & match the best signal processing gear for your video facility with openGear (webinar)

Want to cut costs while getting better performance? And use one company’s encoder with another company’s fiber card in the same frame? No problem. Your facility, your choices.  On this webinar, you’ll find out how video facilities like yours are mixing and matching the best signal processing gear from openGear manufacturers for specific use cases like live air chains where reliability and latency are big concerns, C-Band going away and what to do about it, hybrid SDI-IP setup for multi-camera cinematic workflows, IP encoding for remote contribution or multi-site applications, and timing reference generation. You’ll hear from industry leaders AJA, Apantac, Cobalt, MultiDyne, Ross Video, and VITEC as they show you how openGear lets you pick the right tools – regardless of who makes them – from the broadest modular processing platform in the industry.

MultiDyne’s openGear cards simplify your 2110 or JPEG XS signal chain

You can simplify your whole signal chain using MultiDyne’s openGear ecosystem. With the MDoG-6060 series 2110 gateway card, you can take SDI sources and move them directly onto either an ST 2110 or JPEG XS network. In the same openGear frame, you could install a SilverBack camera system connected to an OG-7800 series fiber transport card, which brings in 4 channels of 12G-SDI, 8x8 audio, Ethernet, sync, and serial data over a single fiber link. One or 2 slots over, an IP card can drop those signals straight onto the network. At ISE 2026, Matt Watkins from MultiDyne speaks with Simon Tillyer from KitPlus about how this workflow allows you to reduce cabling, simplify control, and streamline the path from camera to network. The MDoG-6060 series and OG-7800 series are popular with proAV customers, particularly houses of worship and enterprise production teams. Instead of racks of standalone converters and base stations, everything lives in one unified frame with openGear DashBoard control for centralized status and monitoring.

AJA’s high-powered openGear 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 conversion card (ISE2026)

If you have one or two sources that need 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 conversion for monitoring, Mini-Converters do the job really well. But beyond a few sources, you’re going to start needing serious capability. And that’s where AJA’s OG-Hi5-4K-Plus comes to the rescue. It handles straightforward 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 conversion up to 4K/UHD 60p with HDR metadata support. You can put up to 10 of them on a single openGear frame, so you’ll enjoy superior density. And as with all openGear cards, you get redundant power supply and the DashBoard control system to manage everything easily. Andy Bellamy, Technical Director at AJA, speaks with Simon Tillyer from KitPlus at ISE2026 about the OG-Hi5-4K-Plus that makes high-powered conversion to HDMI 2.0 displays for monitoring simple. They also talk about AJA’s commitment to the convenience and power of the openGear platform, allowing you to mix and match cards from different vendors in the same frame so you have exactly what you need. “Now anything new that comes out, the first thing most people say to us is, ‘Oh, are you going to make an openGear version of that?’” Andy says. “And generally the answer is yes.” Discover more about AJA, including all of their openGear cards, at https://www.aja.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDQyTl9xdnZJXzZReEJJNzlBVExVdmlvdXpfUXxBQ3Jtc0trU1V5YzcxV0VuMTVjR2xVTWx3RGpOM19WaC1BLTFBMnNwSERsT19uc2tmSDB2eUVsM3E2UWFtZjBWRHZJWGt2dkctMTNrT2dFcDE1dzhLbkozaHVCLVZJMWpsbGpPWkFRMWdEMl9RUXNIaXpMVDV4VQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aja.com%2F&v=id_buHOOVS0].

MultiDyne puts openGear at the heart of its solutions at IBC: the new OG-7800

When you want a flexible, reliable, modular platform that lets you combine exactly the solutions you need for all kinds of broadcast, AV, and OB truck applications, openGear is the clear choice. That’s why the popular MultiDyne OG-4600 series has gotten a number of enhancements and is now the OG-7800 series. It can serve as the hub for many of MultiDyne’s solutions, allowing you to pick the exact device you need at the edge and have openGear in the machine room with redundant power, cooling, and DashBoard connectivity.  At IBC 2025, Jesse Foster from MultiDyne speaks with Matt Robbins from KitPlus about this new series of cards, MultiDyne’s MDoG-6060 and MDoG-6061 JPEG-XS and ST 2110 gateway solutions, and another use for the OG-7800 series cards.  “Something that we're excited to bring out is the ability to do hybrid solutions in an openGear frame where you have your base station card,” Jesse says. “That OG-7800 card is a base station to the Silverback. It gives you all your Genlock, Ethernet, time code, video, audio, everything that a 2RU base station will give you is available on an openGear card. Now we have 2110 encapsulation adjacent to the openGear base station card in the same frame, and the same control system.”  Visit https://www.multidyne.com/ to find out more about the openGear cards Jesse talks about, and the full MultiDyne openGear line.  Head to https://www.opengear.tv to get the 2025 Ultimate openGear Applications Guide to see a wide range of applications from openGear Leader Partners like MultiDyne.
