Overview

AJA IP Mini-Converters are designed for point of use applications for encoding, transport, reception and decoding of IP based video sources. Rugged, compact and fanless, the IP Mini-Converters (models IPT-1G-SDI, IPT-1G-HDMI, IPR-1G-SDI, and IPR-1G-HDMI) provide the bridge between Baseband and IP video for a range of applications, such as transporting and receiving video over IP to or from remote facilities in post production, source monitoring, digital signage, and video walls. IP Mini-Converters ease the cost of extensive monitoring distribution in a facility.

The IPT-1G-SDI encodes SDI video and audio as VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000 encapsulated within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream. Similarly, the IPT-1G-HDMI encodes HDMI 1.4 video and audio as VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000 encapsulated within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream.

The IPR-1G-SDI decodes VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000, and formats the data for SDI output. The IPR-1G-HDMI decodes VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000, and formats the data for HDMI 1.4 output. The audio associated with the video stream is extracted, synchronized, and then embedded into the HDMI or SDI signal as well as output on an analog RCA audio interface.

Ready, Lock, and LAN LED Behavior

The Ready LED illuminates green when the unit has finished powering up and is ready to use.

The Lock LED behavior is as follows:

- Off (indicating not locked) when no Program Clock Reference (PCR) has been received.

• Illuminated amber when in the process of locking (PCR has been received, but Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and/or genlock are not yet locked).
• Illuminated green when the PLL and genlock are both locked.

NOTE: Achieving locked status may take 5 or more minutes depending on network jitter behavior. The output of the unit will still function during the locking period.

The Control LAN and Media LAN LEDs illuminate to indicate a link. Blinking indicates activity. Yellow and Green indicate a 10Mbps connection. Green only indicates a 100Mbps connection. Yellow only indicates a 1000Mbps connection.

Installation Overview

Detailed instructions are provided in "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 12 and "Chapter 3 – IP Mini-Converter Web Interface" on page 20 As an overview, however, IP Mini-Converters installation typically consists of the following steps:

1. Apply power to the unit.
2. Determine the unit's IP address (DHCP), or initially configure its network settings using eMini-Setup and a USB connection. This allows you to then access the unit's user interface through a web browser.

3. Close the eMini-Setup application, and disconnect the USB cable.

4. Connect the unit to your Ethernet network. Use the Control LAN to make configuration changes. Use the Media LAN for the incoming (for IPR-1G) or outgoing (for IPT-1G) video signal over IP stream.

5. Launch a web browser and access the IP Mini-Converters using its IP address. Continue device configuration as needed from the web interface.

6. Connect the IP Mini-Converters output.

7. Configure the IP Mini-Converters basic operation.

The current IP Mini-Converters configuration settings are retained, even when powered off, so subsequent installations for an identical decoding or encoding session can be done with the following simple steps:

1. Apply power to the IP Mini-Converters.
2. Connect the unit to your network using the Control LAN and Media LAN and connect the unit's output.

NOTE: Two LAN connections to the unit are not necessarily required on an ongoing basis. If it is desirable for your installation, after the IP Mini-Converters is set up, you can access all control parameters through the Media LAN with the appropriate network configuration. See "Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port for Control and Media Settings" on page 20 for more information.

NOTE: The IP Mini-Converters pack an unprecedented feature set into mini converter boxes. As a result, the units use approximately 12 watts of power. They will be very warm to the touch, which is normal. The units are engineered to operate across the full temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.

NOTE: For highest reliability, the mini converters rely on convection cooling instead of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the units, mount in a location where they have access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the IP Mini-Converters with other mini converters.

Network Configuration

The IP Mini-Converters require a network connection to encode or decode an IP stream. IP Mini-Converters are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled, so if your network has a DHCP server, by simply connecting the IP Mini-Converters to your network with an Ethernet cable, the DHCP server will assign the units compatible IP addresses.

IP Mini-Converters are shipped from the factory with UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) services enabled, so they are discoverable through Windows Explorer (for networked Windows PCs).

The eMini-Setup application, available as a free download from the AJA website, is used to identify the IP Mini-Converters' current IP addresses, if configured, or to manually set the initial network configuration to work in your environment. Refer below to "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 12 for information about installing and using AJA's eMini-Setup application.

Once configured and connected to your network, the IP Mini-Converters are ready for encoding and decoding.

Overview

This chapter describes using the eMini-Setup application to initially communicate with and configure an IP Mini-Converter over a direct USB connection. Once configured, the IP Mini-Converter can be accessed via an Ethernet network using a web browser. Subsequently, that device can then be reconfigured over that network, using its IP address and built-in web server.

NOTE: The eMini-Setup application is only used to setup selected Ethernet capable AJA devices, and cannot be used to connect to or setup other AJA Mini-Converters.

The general procedure is:

1. Acquire eMini-Setup from the AJA website and install the eMini-Setup application onto a computer.
2. Connect the IP Mini-Converter to that computer's USB port.
3. Launch the eMini-Setup application.
4. Go to the Control Network tab and Media Network tab, where the IP address settings are displayed. You can use the existing DHCP assigned IP address, or it can be changed manually.
5. You can also use eMini-Setup to load firmware to the device, although this can also be done quickly and easily using the web browser interface.

Chapter 3 – IP Mini-Converter Web Interface

Overview

Once you have established network connectivity with the IP Mini-Converter, you can further configure and more fully control the unit through its web interface. Subsequently, eMini-Setup is no longer required to interface with the unit.

NOTE: It is often best to remove the USB connection once you have acquired the web interface. This prevents accidentally using eMini-Setup to change parameters already set via the web UI.

Remote Control Overview

An optimized web server in the IP Mini-Converter allows remote control and parameter setting adjustments via a browser client running on a network wired computer. The network can be a closed local area network, a direct connection between an IP Mini-Converter and a computer, or even exposed through a firewall to a WAN.

Each IP Mini-Converter uses a standard RJ-45 connector for the LAN connection. For 10/100 Mbps, the LAN connection uses Auto MDI-X. For 1000 Mbps, the LAN connection uses standard straight-through CAT 5 Ethernet cables or null-modem (cross-over) cables without any configuration or strapping required.

NOTE: Safari is the preferred web browser for control on the Mac, and additionally Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.

To connect to the IP Mini-Converter, attach the unit to your network and enter its Control Network IP address into the web browser. If authentication has been configured, you may need to enter a password.

Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port for Control and Media Settings

It is an option to setup your network connection to the IP Mini-Converter through an Ethernet switch so that only one Ethernet cable connects directly to the unit.

To implement this approach, follow these general steps:

1. Note the IP address of the unit's Media LAN port. This should be a static IP address.

2. Connect the controlling computer's Ethernet port that is being used to control the unit into an Ethernet switch. This requires disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the Control LAN port of the unit.

3. Connect the Media LAN port of the unit into the Ethernet switch.

4. Connect the source of the Media IP stream into the Ethernet switch.

5. Set the controlling computer's Ethernet port that is being used to control the IP Mini-Converter to DHCP.

6. From the controlling computer, point a web browser to the IP address noted in step 1. The IP Mini-Converter's web user interface displays in the browser.

General Screen Information

The Presets screen allows you to save Preset Configurations into 20 separate memory registers and recall the presets whenever needed.

The Presets screen also includes Export and Import functions that allow exporting one or all presets to your computer as files and importing exported preset files from your computer. A displayed message indicates successful or failed saves, recalls, exports, and imports.

Presets Screen Controls

Factory Reset - Factory Reset recalls all editable parameters to their factory default settings. Individual presets and Network settings, such as the IP Addresses, are not affected.

Recall - The Recall buttons recall the saved preset configurations.

CAUTION: When you recall a Preset Configuration, the recalled preset immediately replaces the system's existing configuration. All previous settings are lost unless you have previously stored them in another preset configuration or an exported file.

Store - The Store buttons let you save the current configuration into the preset register with the associated name and number. A preset is a set of all parameters as they were set at the time the preset was stored. Only editable parameters are saved in the presets. Non-editable parameters are not saved. To change a preset name, click in the name's text field, type a new name, and press Enter to save the name. After entering text, you can click the mouse outside of the edit box to exit without changing the name.

CAUTION: IP Mini-Converter stored presets may contain a web server access password. If you share an exported preset to someone, that person can extract the password. Before loaning the device to someone, or returning it as a rental, it is recommended that you clear the device of sensitive information.

Export - The Export buttons save the associated preset contents to a file on your computer. The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options. The file name is the same as the preset name with the suffix .presets. If you export multiple files for the same preset, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name. The file size is small, usually less than 100 kilobytes.

Import - The Import buttons let you browse for and import a preset file on your computer into the preset register associated with the selected button. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite the current preset contents with the file contents. You can only import presets from an IP MiniConverter.

Erase - The Erase buttons erase the data in that preset.

Export Presets 1–20 (All) - Export All lets you save the contents of all presets to a file on your computer.

The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options with the name all.presets. If you export multiple files, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name.

Import Presets 1–20 (All) - Import All lets you browse for and import a previously exported all.presets file from your computer. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite all 20 current preset contents with the contents stored in the file.

Erase Presets 1–20 (All) - Erase All erases all data from all the presets. A dialog box warns you that the operation will erase all 20 current presets.

The Network screen allows you to view and change your IP Mini-Converter's network settings. Click Apply to activate any changes.

IP Address Type - IP Address Type determines the type of TCP/IP network configuration to be used. DHCP enables connecting to the network DHCP server, which assigns the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway automatically. Static lets you set these parameters manually.

NOTE: If the IP Address Type is DHCP, the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway are gray, indicating they are set automatically and cannot be changed unless IP Address Type is first set to Static. Changes are saved and activated upon confirmation using the Apply button.

• DHCP (default) - Selects automatic IP address assignment from the LAN DHCP server. If a DHCP server cannot be found, it fails over to the static IP address.
• Static - Assigns a static IP address manually. The factory default static IP address: 192.168.0.1.

IP Address - IP Address determines a static IP address to be used for TCP/IP networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.

- If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the IP address is set automatically by the network DHCP server and cannot be entered here.

• If IP Address Type is set to Static, enter an IP address compatible with your LAN here. Also enter a netmask and default gateway address in the following two parameters. Click Apply when you are ready to apply all three entries.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is set to the static IP address.

Netmask - Netmask determines the subnet mask to be used for TCP/IP networking.

• Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user.

Default Gateway - Default Gateway determines the gateway or router used on your LAN for TCP/IP networking.

Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/ gateway or not), your IP Mini-Converter will be unable to see other IP Mini- Converters on the network, although you may still be able to control this IP Mini-Converter via a web browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined, the discovery feature on the Network web page will not list other units on the network.

• Enter a default gateway or router address. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Default Gateway is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user.

MAC Address - Reports the connected IP Mini-Converter's Media Access Control Address.

Link State - Reports the current status of the Ethernet connection.
