Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

The HA5-Fiber converts HDMI to 3G, HD, or SD SDI over Fiber ST connector output. Up to eight channels of HDMI audio are embedded into the fiber output allowing a convenient single cable audio/video connection. Two external analog audio inputs can replace two of these embedded audio channels, if desired. The HA5-Fiber supports long HDMI cables on the input. The HA5-Fiber is useful for connecting HDMI cameras and other sources to SDI capture cards and equipment.

Features

• HDMI to 3G, HD, or SD SDI over Fiber ST connector output (see "Appendix A: Specifications on page 18" for a complete list of supported inputs).
  • Full 10-bit Conversion
  • Full HDMI support including embedded audio
  • Equalized HDMI input supports long HDMI cables up to 30m
• PLL clock filtering for low jitter SDI outputs
• Lock LED shows type of input source: SD (green), HD (red), or 3G (amber)
  • Unbalanced analog audio input (2 RCA)
• Accepts 8 channels of HDMI embedded audio
  • Outputs 8 channels of SDI embedded audio (Channels 1-8 or 9-16)
  • HDMI cable supplied

Audio

The HA5-Fiber converter supports 8 audio channels (4 stereo pairs) at 24-bit/48 KHz which it dis-embeds from HDMI and embeds into SDI. For proper embedding, audio must be synchronous to video. If audio is not synchronous with video or the sample rate is not 48 KHz, then Mini-Config must be used to set the Sample Rate Converter to convert audio to 24-bit/48 KHz and then synchronize it with input video before embedding.

I/O Connections

Figure 2. HA5-Fiber Converter

NOTE: The Lock LED indicates valid input video by color. Green is SD video, red is HD video, amber is 3G video, off is no input.

User Controls

Mini-Config Control

Auto controls configures the unit automatically to match the input and output video parameters. Advanced Mini-Config control supports setting the RGB video range, and adjusting audio input, conversion, and routing to embedded HDMI audio.

Configuration set via Mini-Config is stored in the HA5-Fiber unit through subsequent power cycles.

Installation

Typically, HA5-Fiber installation consists of the following steps:

1. Ensure the converter is disconnected from power.
2. Connect equipment to the converter HDMI input connector, the 3G, HD-SDI or SD-SDI over Fiber ST output connector, and the analog audio inputs (if used).
3. Connect audio equipment to RCA connectors (optional)
4. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
5. The converter will now run using the default factory settings. If you wish to alter the factory settings, you'll need to:
   • Install the AJA Mini-Config software on your computer
6. Attach the converter via USB

7. Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens.

8. This process is detailed in "Chapter 2: Operation on page 8".

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 webpage of that Mini-Converter.

To run Mini-Config on a Mac, open the Applications folder and locate the AJA Mini-Config application. Double-click the application to launch it.

Saving Setups

A File drop down menu on the Mini-Config application bar allows you to save the current state of the Mini-Converter to a preset file for later recall.

MiniConfig	File	Edit	Help
	Open Preset...		%O
	Save Preset As...		%S
	Revert to Factory Settings
	Refresh		%R

Using this feature you can set up the converter for different applications, storing each configuration (Save Preset As...) with a unique name for easy recall (Open Preset...).

A Revert to Factory Settings menu item similarly allows you to change the settings back to AJA's factory defaults.

Operating Mini- Config

The 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 MiniConverter 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.

Running Multiple Mini-Converters

Mini-Config 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 multiple Mini-Converters in parallel, you can do it by running multiple instances of the Mini-Config application and have each control a different Mini-Converter.

NOTE: During a Mini-Converter firmware update, only one Mini-Converter should be connected to the computer via USB.

Figure 6. Example Mini-Config Screen

NOTE: The Lock LED indicates valid input video by color. Green is SD video, red is HD video, amber is 3G video, off is no input.

Selecting a Mini-Converter with the pulldown 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. When you Click on any of the tab buttons, the pane below the tabs will change to match your tab selection. Any changes you make are immediately applied and will be saved, overwriting previous settings.
