Hi5-4K-Plus Mini-Converter v1.12 11 www.aja.com

each configuration (

Save Preset As...

) with a unique name for easy recall (

Open

). 

Revert to Factory Settings

 menu item similarly allows you to change the 

settings back to AJA’s factory defaults. 

Operating AJA Mini-Config

The AJA 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.
