HDR Image Analyzer 12G delivers a comprehensive array of tools for the effective analysis of up to 4x 4K/UltraHD signals, utilizing both 12G-SDI and NDI connectivity.
Analyze HLG, PQ, Rec.2020, Rec.709, and native camera Log color spaces – from 8K/UltraHD2/4K/UltraHD/2K/HD content in a powerful, real time, 1RU device.
Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G supports a wealth of inputs from camera Log formats to SDR (Rec. 709), PQ (ST 2084), and HLG and offers Wide Color Gamut (WCG) support for BT.2020 alongside traditional BT.709 and P3, with Dolby Vision® dynamic metadata inspection and analysis for advanced HDR mastering and QC applications. AJA hardware prowess ensures high reliability and performance, with 4x 12G-SDI inputs, dual 10 GigE, and DisplayPort connections.
Specifically designed to be used wherever high performance color analysis is needed, the 1RU form factor excels in a range of environments, providing the confidence you need for consistent and predictable HDR production and mastering.
HDR production demands a reliable and predictable tool for monitoring and analyzing all the steps in the process, to ensure that your artistic vision is followed from camera to the end user's final display.
AJA's HDR Image Analyzer 12G ensures that you fully control your technical choices as you capture, pass on, and deliver your HDR/SDR materials.
HDR Image Analyzer 12G offers powerful monitoring and analysis for:
HDR Image Analyzer 12G provides the necessary connectivity to support advanced 8K/UltraHD2 HDR/WCG and SDR production monitoring and analysis workflows, including video payload identifier (VPID) analysis.
8K/UltraHD2 workflows are increasing, and so are the products that support them. Ensure your workflow gets set up correctly the first time by validating 8K/UltraHD2 VPIDs before you get started with HDR Image Analyzer 12G.
Providing the same high quality and precision analysis tools available for all other video formats, this powerful analyzer is a smart investment for today's needs as well as ensuring you are ready for tomorrow.
Supports Dolby Vision® dynamic metadata inspection and analysis for advanced HDR mastering and QC applications.
Simultaneously analyze up to 4x 4K/UltraHD signals side-by-side. Perfect for camera matching and camera testing applications providing the ability to see, in real-time, the matching adjustments made. This is also helpful for analyzing different cameras in a multi-camera environment, multiple deliverables, or even QCing multiple projects at one time. Mix and match SDI and NDI signal analysis for ultimate flexibility.
The use of Network Device Interface (NDI) is expanding into a wide range of applications from Pro AV to broadcast and postproduction applications. NDI and SDI signals are often being used within the same applications.
New in version 3.0 is the ability to analyze and monitor NDI signals by adding NDI streams to the list of available source devices for signal analysis. NDI signals can now be analyzed with the same high quality tools as your SDI signals. Applications are endless and HDR Image Analyzer 12G helps to bridge the gap between SDI and NDI workflows.
Colorist Samuel Bilodeau from Mystery Box offers practical and personal insights as a power user of the HDR Image Analyzer. Based on his on-set and in the post suite experiences, he shares his favorite features and why the HDR Image Analyzer is vital to their workflow from end-to-end.
Modern cameras are inherently HDR capable with their wide dynamic ranges, and for live events, recording, and broadcasts, it’s crucial to monitor their dynamic range and gamut outputs being employed for HDR delivery.
With input support for both leading camera Log formats as well as SDR, HLG, and PQ monitoring from a range of sources, HDR Image Analyzer 12G takes the pain out of HDR/WCG monitoring. With a wide range of analysis tools and automatic error logging with timecode stamping, HDR Image Analyzer 12G ensures your production achieves the desired final results.
The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is becoming an industry standard for managing color throughout the life cycle of a motion picture or television production. From capture through editing, VFX, mastering, public presentation, archiving, and future remastering, ACES ensures a consistent color experience that preserves the creative vision.
HDR Image Analyzer 12G supports an ACES Grading Color Space and offers ACEScct signal analysis for real time integration with ACES workflows.
The HDR Image Analyzer 12G interface provides a quadrant layout for viewing your tools and footage as you work. Quick key shortcuts provide preconfigured common layouts for how your tools and views are presented.
For quick and easy layout customization, you can choose a particular tool to be shown in any of the quadrants by either right clicking on the quadrant itself and choosing your preferred tool or by accessing quadrant choices from the Analyzer Mode menu.
Each quadrant is individually configurable to present an analysis tool for any of the four channels. Mix and match SDI and NDI signal analysis as needed.
A four channel view is available to monitor four signals simultaneously, with each channel showing the image, waveform, and vectorscope plus audio metering.
HDR Image Analyzer 12G offers a powerful new Web Interface that can be accessed anywhere on a network from any web browser on any OS.
This allows configuration from a remote computer and simplifies access when placing HDR Image Analyzer 12G in a rack environment, on set, in facility control rooms, QC departments, and more. This further provides the ability to update HDR Image Analyzer 12G remotely and to download logs and screenshots wherever needed.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) further allows control of a HDR Image Analyzer 12G over a network. Your RDP client presents the Analyzer's GUI in a local window as well as providing keyboard/mouse control. The RDP client computer can be a desktop, laptop, or tablet.
Included in HDR Image Analyzer 12G's toolsets are waveform, histogram, and vectorscope monitoring, plus a host of essential image analysis tools:
HDR Image Analyzer allows you to set a white point relevant for the project at hand. Choose between DCI, D65 or simply turn off.
In HDR mode the CIE XY Gamut View can be used to check the encoded colors, and whether they are within the valid limit of color range. Gamuts for BT.709, DCI P3, and BT.2020 are represented with brightness and gamut bars for measuring maximum, frame, current and average levels against your target.
An audio level meter is included for up to 16-channels of metered monitoring and display of peak DB levels. An audio phase meter can also be configured to display either 2-channel (stereo) or 8-channel (surround) audio. Audio Level Warnings may be set to generate notes into your logs.

Working with the HDR Image Analyzer 12G is simple and flexible with its 4x 12G-SDI connections and dual 10 GigE interfaces for media and control.
Connect your SDI sources to one or more of the 12G-SDI connections and connect the dual 10 GigE RJ-45’s to the network with access to your Full NDI sources.
For 8K/UltraHD2 workflows, simply connect your source to all four of the 12G-SDI connections.
Connect a keyboard, mouse, and an UltraHD HDR display (up to 60p) from a DisplayPort connection for the best viewing of both the footage and the HDR Image Analyzer 12G user interface - if necessary, the DisplayPort can drive an HDMI monitor with a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
High raster imagery deserves a high raster interface for keeping a critical eye on your aesthetic elements as you analyze your materials for HDR. HDR Image Analyzer 12G provides pristine imagery and the ability to hone in on the smallest details for an accurate analysis of your materials:
