menu item similarly allows you to change the
settings back to AJA’s factory defaults.
Operating AJA Mini-Config
The AJA Mini-Config application provides a graphic interface for viewing settings
and updating software. It consists of an information area at the top that shows
the available Mini-Converters attached to the computer via USB, with a graphical
rendering of the selected Mini-Converter showing all the connectors and their
current state.
Colored text next to the connectors indicates the signal type and what the Mini-
Converter is doing:
• Blue text indicates the values automatically selected
• Black text indicates values that you have manually selected
• Red text indicates the Mini-Converter is not detecting a signal, or cannot
operate with the current user settings.
NOTE: Even if no output device is detected, the SDI connector text still shows the signal it
is outputting.
NOTE: Configuration settings in red will change based on the attached output device as
well as input signals. For improved accuracy and reliability, you should configure
the Mini-Converter only when the target output device is attached and input
signals are supplied at the inputs.
Screens are virtually the same on both PC and Mac, with subtle differences that
reflect the general look of the platform environment.
Running Multiple Mini-Converters
AJA Mini-Config can manage multiple AJA Mini-Converters connected via USB—
even when they are of differing types. However it only connects to one at a time.
You can choose which Mini-Converter you wish to control using the pulldown
menu in the upper right hand corner. If you want to configure multiple Mini-
Converters in parallel, you can do it by running multiple instances of the AJA
Mini-Config application and have each control a different Mini-Converter.
NOTE: During a Mini-Converter firmware update, only one Mini-Converter should be
connected to the computer via USB.
