2. Connect the SDI source signal to the SDI input connector of the HB-T-SDI
and the transmission CAT cable to the HDBaseT output connector.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT cable to the HDBaseT input connector on
the HB-R-SDI.
4. Connect RS-232 and IR input/output extension cables to the 1/8” TRS
connectors (optional cable kit is available from AJA).
5. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
6. The converter 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 onto your computer.
• Attach the converter via USB cable (included).
• Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens.
Pairing SDI and HDMI HDBaseT Converters
An HB-T-SDI model Mini-Converter can operate paired with an HB-R-HDMI model
Mini-Converter, and an HB-T-HDMI can pair with an HB-R-SDI, provided the
input and output video formats are compatible. For example, you can transport
HD video between these HDMI/SDI pairs, but you cannot transport 4K/UltraHD
video (which SDI models do not support). 4K/UltraHD video can be transported
between a pair of HDMI Model Mini-Converters, however. Mini-Config controls
available on the SDI models can be used to match color space and other settings.
The HDMI models do not support Mini-Config.
