Chapter 2 – Operation

USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-Config

Your AJA Mini-Converter can be used right out of the box for some applications 

since it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions 

automatically by default. However, to use its full capability, you must use AJA’s 

Mini-Config software application for PCs and Macs. This same application can be 

used to update to new Mini-Converter software released by AJA.

Acquiring Mini-Config

AJA’s Mini-Config application is available for download from the AJA website. 
To download the latest Mini-Config package, which includes the Mini-Config 

application, Mini-Converter firmware, and documentation, go to:

https://www.aja.com/en/products/mini-converters/mini-config-software

Select either the Windows or Mac icon to download the desired version. 

Mini-Converter Documentation

Included with the Mini-Config package is a complete set of documentation for 

all Mini-Converters supported by Mini-Config. A .PDF of the 

Installation and 

Operation Guide

 for the currently connected Mini-Converter can be accessed from 

the Mini-Config UI via the 

Help/Manual

 drop-down menu.

Documentation for all AJA Mini-Converters that use Mini-Config can also be 

accessed directly in the Mini-Config download package Documentation folder, 

and via the Documentation icon available on the Mac installer. 
Documentation (and firmware) included with the Mini-Config application are the 

versions available at the time of distribution. However, Mini-Converter software, 

firmware and documentation are updated regularly, so newer versions may exist. 
To download the latest documentation for an individual Mini-Converter, go to:

https://www.aja.com/en/category/mini-converters 

and navigate to the Support web page of that Mini-Converter.

Installing Mini-Config

PC Installation

To install Mini-Config on a Windows PC:
1.  Download the application from the AJA website (select the Windows icon 

on the Mini-Config Support web page).

2.  Open the AJA_MiniConfig.zip file 
3.  Double-click on the 

MiniInstaller.msi

 file. 

4.  A Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation.
