Using this feature you can set up the converter for different applications, storing each
configuration (
Save Preset As...
) with a unique name for easy recall (
Open Preset...
).
A
Revert to Factory Settings
menu item similarly allows you to change the settings
back to AJA’s factory defaults.
Operating Mini-
Config
The 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
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 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.
