Chapter 2 – Operation

USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-Config

Your AJA Mini-Converter can be used right out of the box for some applications 

since it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions 

automatically by default. However, to use its full capability, you must use AJA’s 

Mini-Config software application for PCs and Macs. This same application can be 

used to update to new Mini-Converter software released by AJA.

Acquiring AJA Mini-Config

AJA’s Mini-Config application is available for download from the AJA website.
To download the latest AJA Mini-Config package, which includes the AJA Mini-

Config application, Mini-Converter firmware, and documentation, go to:

https://www.aja.com/products/mini-config-software

Select either the Windows or Mac icon to download the desired version. 

Mini-Converter Documentation

Included with the AJA Mini-Config package is a complete set of documentation 

for all Mini-Converters supported by AJA Mini-Config. A .PDF of the 

Installation 

and Operation Guide

 for the currently connected Mini-Converter can be accessed 

from the AJA Mini-Config UI via the 

Help/Manual

 drop-down menu.

Documentation for all AJA Mini-Converters that use AJA Mini-Config can also 

be accessed directly in the AJA Mini-Config download package Documentation 

folder, and via the Documentation icon available on the Mac installer. 
Documentation (and firmware) included with the AJA Mini-Config application 

are the versions available at the time of distribution. However, Mini-Converter 

software, firmware and documentation are updated regularly, so newer versions 

may exist. 
To download the latest documentation for an individual Mini-Converter, go to:

https://www.aja.com/family/mini-converters

and navigate to the Support webpage of that Mini-Converter.

on the AJA Mini-Config Support webpage).

2.  Open the AJA_MiniConfig.zip file 
3.  Double-click on the MiniInstaller.msi file.
