AJA UDC - Manual (Page 10)

UDC Mini-Converter v2.3r1 www.aja.com 10
V Crop–Converts Letterbox video to 16:9 Anamorphic video.
14:9–Converts 16:9 Anamorphic video to 14:9 Cropped video.
Installation
Typically, UDC installation consists of the following steps:
1. Ensure the UDC is disconnected from power.
2. Connect video equipment to the converter BNCs and HDMI connector.
3. Connect audio equipment to RCA connectors (optional)
4. Apply power to the converter.
5. The UDC will now run using the default factory settings. If you wish to alter the
factory settings, see the following User Controls section.
User Controls
The UDC can be used right out of the box for many applications, since it is designed to
recognize inputs and perform standard actions automatically. However, you can also
manually configure the UDC using either of two methods:
• “Mini Config” software application supplied for PCs and Macs
• DIP switches accessible via a cutout on the back of the UDC case
One of the DIP switches is a “Local/Remote” switch. When in the “Local” mode, the
remaining DIP switches support a subset of the user controls. When in the “Remote”
mode, the normal Mini-Converter non-volatile registers control the unit (as last set).
Refer to "Chapter 2: MiniConfig Operation on page 12" for information about controlling
the UDC with MiniConfig. Instructions for DIP switch settings are presented below.
Using DIP Switches to Control the UDC
In addition to the Mini-Config application, you can also control the unit via an 8-switch
DIP, accessible through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit.
The default positions are shown in the figure on the left. The default settings result in an
output of 1080i59.94 with NTSC related inputs and 1080i50 with PAL related inputs.
For 1080p23.98/1080psf23.98 inputs, the input can be converted to 720p23.98,
1080p23.98, 1080i59.94, or 1080p59.94. The latter two would use the 3:2 DIP switch to
add 3:2 pulldown.
The compliance label, found on the back of the UDC, lists the DIP switch settings.
NOTE: HDMI monitors may not support all frame rates or "pSF" formats.
NOTE: UDC converts 3G-A formats only. It does not input or output 3G-B.
