AJA announced new firmware features for its IP25-R device at NAB 2026, adding a transmit (TX) mode to its existing receive (RX) capabilities. The IP25-R, originally a 2110-to-SDI/HDMI converter, can now also convert SDI/HDMI to ST 2110 for IP network distribution, functioning as a gateway for hybrid IP environments. New features also include a built-in test signal generator and simplified workflow tools, available immediately as a free firmware update.
The IP25-R has moved from a one-way monitoring converter to a bidirectional gateway for hybrid SDI and ST 2110 workflows. That matters because it gives video teams a single AJA box for both receiving IP feeds and putting SDI or HDMI sources onto the network, without requiring a paid add-on. The broader signal here is AJA’s customer-driven approach: it is adding workflow tools like a test signal generator and firmware upgrades after the original IBC 2025 launch. Watch how quickly existing IP25-R owners adopt the free firmware update through the device interface.
