• Install the AJA Mini-Config software on your computer,
• attach the converter via USB,
• change the DIP switch 1 setting to LOCAL, and
• make your changes using the Mini-Config setup screens.
NOTE: For highest reliability, the mini-converter relies on convection cooling instead
of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the unit, mount in a location
where it has access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the 12G-AM with other
mini converters.
