NOTE: The LOCK LED adjacent to the HDMI input connector indicates by color whether
the HDMI input circuit is locked, and if so, the SDI output data rate. Off is no
signal, Green is SD-SDI, Red is HD-SDI, Amber is 3G-SDI, Purple is 6G-SDI, and Blue
is 12G-SDI.
Installation
Typically, HA5-12G installation consists of the following steps:
1. Ensure the HA5-12G is disconnected from power.
2. Connect video equipment to the converter BNCs and HDMI connector.
3. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
4. The HA5-12G will now run using the default factory settings. If you wish to
alter the factory settings, you’ll need to:
• Install the AJA Mini-Config software on your computer
• Attach the HA5-12G via USB
• Make your changes using AJA Mini-Config setup screens.
This process is detailed in
"USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-Config" on page
NOTE: The HA5-12G packs an unprecedented feature set into a mini converter box.
As a result, the unit uses approximately 12 watts of power. It will be very warm
to the touch, which is normal. The unit is engineered to operate across the full
temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
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 HA5-12G with other
mini converters.
