Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
The Hi5-12G converts 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0, providing an easy to deploy solution
for monitoring professional 4K/UltraHD SDI signals with 4K/UltraHD HDMI 2.0
displays. The Hi5-12G supports a wide range of input video formats and frame
rates with extremely low latency signal conversion and pristine image fidelity.
It features a 12G-SDI single link input with a reclocked SDI loop out for signal
extension to downstream SDI devices.
Three additional Hi5-12G models support fiber connectivity. The Hi5-12G-R
and Hi5-12G-R-ST include an optical input, and the Hi5-12G-TR includes an
optical input and reclocked optical loop output. These models are perfect for
applications where distance is a factor.
The Hi5-12G is a powerful tool for HDR workflows that require local HDR
Infoframe generation to correctly configure a HDR monitor. The free Mini-Config
application program provides an easy to use GUI interface to configure the
Hi5-12G and to display input signal status information.
Default Operation
When you power up the Hi5-12G with its default settings, it will operate with its
default settings, which includes many automatic settings.
The Hi5-12G's Auto-Configure feature automatically identifies the incoming
SDI signal format and converts the signal based on the HDMI output default
configuration parameters.
AJA Mini-Config Control
AJA’s Mini-Config application is available for firmware updates and advanced
configuration. The Mini-Config application provides configuration controls for
Hi5-12G along with real-time input signal status.
With the Mini Config application, you can specify what input signal parameters
you want to use, specify the output signal format, configure HDR settings, audio
settings, and perform software updates.
