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.

NOTE:

LEDs adjacent to each SDI input connector indicate by color the detected signal type. Green is
SD-SDI, red is HD-SDI, and amber/orange is 3G-SDI.

Selecting a Mini-Converter with the dropdown menu causes this application to connect
to the selected converter. The graphic of Mini-Converter and text below it provides:

• Type of converter

• Firmware version

• Serial number of the unit

A status field at the bottom of the screen shows if your application is connected and
communicating with the Mini-Converter.

When configuring the Mini-Converter, select it from the top pulldown, view the current
settings and change any values. Making a change communicates that new value to the
Mini-Converter’s non-volatile memory.

Tabbed Screens

The Tabs delineate control screens with groups of controls for each type of task to be
performed. The controls for the actual configuration parameters are specific to each
Mini-Converter type. With your Mini-Converter connected and selected, click on any of
the tab buttons and the screen below will change to match.
