Mac Startup:
To run MiniConfig on a Mac, double-click the Applications folder and locate the AJA
MiniConfig application. Double-click the application to launch it.
Saving Setups:
A
File
menu at the top of the MiniConfig application menu bar allows you to
Save
the
state of the Mini-Converter, with your current settings, to a file for later recall. This allows
you to set up the converter for different applications, storing each (with Save) to a unique
name for easy recall—using the
Open
menu item. A
Revert to Factory Settings
menu item
similarly allows you to change the settings back to AJA’s factory defaults. An Edit menu
allows you to cut and paste values to/from fields, just as in other applications.
Operating
MiniConfig
The MiniConfig 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 negotiate with
the attached device
NOTE:
Even if no output device is detected, it still shows the signal it is outputting. However, lacking
an input signal, the output signal may not be valid.
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:
MiniConfig 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 and update multiple Mini-Converters in parallel,
you can do it by running multiple instances of the MiniConfig application and have each
control a different Mini-Converter.
