Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
The FS-Mini is a broadcast quality utility frame sync that packs the production-proven functionality and all of the reliability of AJA's leading FS frame sync technology into a portable Mini-Converter supporting frame synchronization of untimed 3G-SDI, HD, and SD video signals at an affordable price.
FS-Mini allows users to synchronize and convert a wide range of video formats to their house standard with a 3G-SDI input and output, HDMI output, and a 2-channel RCA style audio output. The FS-Mini also provides high quality up, down, cross-conversion.
The device also features a reference input that can be used to lock to a local reference. It can be simply controlled via local DIP switches or USB and AJA's Mini-Config application.
Features
- Utility frame sync function, times input signals to an external reference
• Supports bi-level and tri-level references
• High quality 10-bit video processing - Low latency processing, nominal video delay of 1 frame
• Synchronizes 3G, HD and SD video formats
• Simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs - Loss of input management: Freeze, Black, or Mute
• 16-channel embedded SDI audio I/O
• 8-channel HDMI output audio
• 2-channel RCA-style analog outputs at -10dBV (nominal)

AFD input detection, down-convert control
-
Configure via DIP switch or USB port and supplied AJA Mini-Config software on PC/Mac
- Uses 5-20 VDC power (DWP-U-R1 universal power supply included)
- Five year warranty
NOTE: FS-Mini converts 3G-SDI Level A formats only. It does not input or output 3G-SDI Level B.
NOTE: FS-Mini passes-through embedded audio ancillary data only. It does not pass through other types of embedded ancillary data.
Video Formats
The FS-Mini provides utility frame rate conversion within the same frame rate family as the input frame rate. If a reference is provided, it must be in the same frame rate hierarchy as the input video (e.g., 23.98/29.97/59.94, 25/25, or 24/30/60).

Frame Sync Mode Example
The following section provides an example of how to set up the FS-Mini to ensure the frame sync function is working correctly.
Setup
Ensure the FS-Mini is completely disconnected from video, audio, USB, and power.
Procedure
- Connect the FS-Mini to your Mac or PC using the control USB cord.
- Connect the FS-Mini to its power cord and a power source.
- Launch the AJA Mini-Config application. By default the FS-Mini is configured to operate genlocked to an external reference signal. The Ref In BNC connector image on AJA Mini-Config indicates "No Ref" and the Genlock control indicates "Free Run."
- Connect the appropriate sync reference signal to the FS-Mini Ref In BNC.
-
The Ref In BNC connector image on AJA Mini-Config shows the signal type.
-
The Genlock control will indicate "Reference," indicating that the FS-Mini is genlocked to an external reference signal.
-
However, because the FS-Mini is still not receiving a compatible video input, "No Video" will be reported for the SDI In BNC image on AJA Mini-Config.
-
Connect a 1080p59.94 SDI video source to the FS-Mini SDI In BNC. AJA MiniConfig will report 1080p59.94 next to the SDI In BNC image.
-
From the Video tab, set the Output Format to 1080p (high).
-
Confirm that AJA Mini-Config shows that the SDI Out BNC is reporting the correct signal (in this example, 1080p59.94).
This workflow confirms that the FS-Mini powers up successfully and that the SDI video output is synchronized with the Reference Input.
Conversion Mode Discussion and Examples
Upconvert Mode
The FS-Mini allows you to select the type of Upconversion performed on an SD source input. This mode is in effect only when the input is SD (525i or 625i) and the selected output format is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p).
Figure 3. Upconvert Mode Examples
flowchart
graph LR
A["4:3 Upconverts To These displays on 16:9"] --> B["Full Screen"]
B --> C["4:3 Pillar"]
C --> D["LB to Full"]
D --> E["14:9 Pillar"]
E --> F["Wide Zoom"]
Selection Description
- Full Screen – 4x3 image is stretched horizontally to fill a 16x9 frame.
- 4x3 Pillar – 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.
- LB to Full – 4x3 letterboxed image is scaled to fit horizontally in a 16x9 frame. Black bars top and bottom are cropped off.
- 14x9 Pillar (default) – 4x3 image is scaled to create a 14x9 image with black sidebars and slightly cropping top and bottom of original image.
- Wide Zoom – A combination of scaling and stretching is used to fit to a 16x9 frame. Slight cropping of top and bottom and a small aspect ratio change.
Downconvert Mode
This mode determines the type of Downconversion performed on the selected HD source input. See the following Downconvert Illustrations for Downconversion examples. This mode is in effect only when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).
Figure 4. Downconvert Mode Example
Selection Description
- Letterbox – Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area, with the aspect ratio preserved.
- Crop (default) – Image is cropped to fit new screen size.
- Anamorphic – HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio (anamorphic).
- 14:9 – Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.
- Auto AFD – Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code.
Active Format Description (AFD) codes are carried in the vertical ancillary (VANC) portion of HD SDI video signals, specified in SMPTE 2016 as follows: "AFD information is intended to guide DTV receivers and/or intermediate professional video equipment regarding the display of video of one aspect ratio on a display of another aspect ratio."
In the FS-Mini Downconverter, the AFD code on the video input can be used to guide the Downconverter in choosing which mode to use to best display the important content of the 16:9 HD input video on the 4:3 SD output. For example, if the input AFD code is 10 (Full Frame), it means that the input video has important picture information throughout the full 16:9 frame, so the Downconverter should use Letterbox mode to be sure none of the content is cropped off. An AFD code of 9 (Pillarbox) says that the input video only has
content within the center 4:3 area of the picture (usually because it originally came from an Upconverted SD signal) so the Downconverter Crop mode would be the best choice. There are 16 possible HD AFD codes, of which 8 are in common use. The FS-Mini does not process or use SD AFD codes.
SD Aspect Ratio Convert
This mode selects the type of SD-to-SD Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) performed on an incoming selected SD source. This mode is in effect only when the input and output are both SD (525i or 625i). (In Europe 16:9 anamorphic video is also known as "wide screen" video.)

Typically, FS-Mini installation consists of the following steps:
- Ensure the converter is disconnected from power.
- Connect video equipment to the converter BNCs and HDMI connector.
- Connect audio equipment to RCA connectors (optional)
- Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
- 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 - Attach the converter via USB
- Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens
- This process is detailed in "Chapter 2 Operation" on page 13.
- Alternatively, you can use the external DIP switches to alter the factory settings (see "Using DIP Switches to Control the FS-Mini" on page 11).
User Controls
The FS-Mini 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 FS-Mini 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 FS-Mini 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 Operation" on page 13 for information about controlling the FS-Mini with Mini-Config. Instructions for DIP switch settings are presented below.
Using DIP Switches to Control the FS-Mini
Figure 6. DIP Switches
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 Figure 6. The default settings result in an output of 1080i29.97 with NTSC related inputs and 1080i25 with PAL related inputs.
The compliance label, found on the back of the FS-Mini, lists the DIP switch settings.
NOTE: HDMI monitors may not support all frame rates or "PsF" formats.
DIP Switch Settings
The functions of the DIP switches and what they control are described in the following tables.
Table 1. DIP Switch Setting Descriptions
| SWITCH FUNCTION DIP Set LEFT (default) DIP Set RIGHT | |||
| 1 Control | Selects LOCAL (DIP), and | blocks Mini-Config control.When in “Local” mode, the remaining DIP switches will support a subset of the user controls. | Selects REMOTE (Mini-Config), and disables DIP switches 2-8.When in “Remote” mode, the normal Mini-Config non-volatile registers (as last set), control the unit. |

Mac Startup
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 (similar for Mac and PC) allows you to save the current state of the Mini-Converter to a preset file for later recall.
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.
Figure 10. Example Mini-Config Screen
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 MiniConverter 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.
Video Tab Screen
The Video Screen is where you can configure FS-Mini video inputs and outputs.
Output Format
Determines the FS-Mini output video format. These are the format choices:
- Follow INPUT: The output video format will match the format of the incoming video.
- Follow REF: The output video format will match the format of the current Reference input.
- SD: The output video format will be 525i29.97 or 625i25 (for 25 or 50 fps video.
- 720p: - The output video format will be 720p59.94 (for 23.98, 29.97, or 59.94 fps video inputs), 720p60 (for 24, 30, or 60 fps video inputs), or 720p50 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs).
- 1080i: The output video format will be 1080i29.97 (for 23.98, 29.97, or 59.94 fps video inputs), 1080i30 (for 24, 30, or 60 fps video inputs), or 1080i25 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs).
- 1080PsF: The output video format will be 1080PsF23.98 (for 23.98 fps video inputs), 1080PsF24 (for 24 fps video inputs), 1080PsF25 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs), 1080PsF29.97 (for 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080PsF30 (for 30 or 60 fps video inputs).
- 1080p (low): The output video format will be 1080p23.98 (for 23.98 fps video inputs), 1080p24 (for 24 fps video inputs), 1080p25 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs), 1080p29.97 (for 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p30 (for 30 or 60 fps video inputs).
- 1080p (high): The output video format will be 1080p50 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs), 1080p59.94 (for 23.98, 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p60 (for 24, 30 or 60 fps video inputs).
NOTE: FS-Mini converts 3G-A formats only. It does not input or output 3G-B.
Add 3:2 Pulldown
When the Add 3:2 Pull down box is checked, 23.98 fps and 24 fps video inputs are converted to 29.97 fps and 30 fps, respectively, by adding 3:2 pull down before conversion. Note that this selection is only used when the FS-Mini module is in Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, 3:2 pull down addition is determined by DIP switch #6.
Genlock
Determines the timing reference for the FS-Mini video output. The selected reference is displayed to the right of the Genlock pull-down. These are the choices:
- Auto (default): Auto uses the reference input if present, or locks to the SDI input if no reference is present or if the reference is present but is not compatible.
- Lock to Input: Always locks to the SDI input.
- Lock to Reference: Always locks to the Reference input – if the supplied reference is not compatible, reverts to Free Run.
• Free Run: Always operates in Free Run mode.
Up Convert
Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an HD output video format. This selection is only used when the FS-Mini module is in Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the up convert mode is determined by DIP switch #7. These are the choices:
- 4x3 Pillar: Produces 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.
- 14x9 Pillar (default): Produces 14x9 image, zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black sidebars.
• Full Screen: Produces anamorphic full screen display. - LB to Full Image: Produces image zoomed to fit the full screen (letterbox).
- Wide Zoom: Produces an image sized to fit a 16x9 screen using a combination of zoom and stretch. (This can introduce a small aspect ratio change.)
Down Convert
Determines the mode when converting from HD input video to an SD output video format. Note that this selection is only used when the FS-Mini module is in Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the upconvert mode is determined by DIP switch #8. These are the choices:
- Crop (default): Image is cropped to fit new screen size.
- Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio (anamorphic).
- 14x9: Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.
- Auto AFD: Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code. If the input video is not carrying an AFD VANC code, the Downconverter defaults to crop.
- Letterbox: Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area, with the aspect ratio preserved.
Aspect Convert
Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an SD output video format. There is no DIP switch equivalent for this control. The setting is saved in nonvolatile memory in the module and used for all subsequent operation. These are the choices:
- Off (default): The input image is copied to the output with no scaling.
- Letterbox: The input frame is scaled vertically to a 16x9 "letterboxed" size (anamorphic to letterbox conversion).
- H Crop: The input frame is scaled horizontally to 16x9, then center-cropped (anamorphic to center crop conversion).
- Pillarbox: The input frame is scaled horizontally to make a pillarbox output (4x3 to anamorphic conversion).
- V Crop: The input frame is scaled vertically to make a vertically cropped output (letterbox to anamorphic conversion).
- 14x9: The input frame is scaled horizontally and vertically as a compromise between H Crop and Letterbox (anamorphic to 14x9 conversion).
Loss of Input
Determines what action is taken when input video is lost. Choose from:
- Black (default): The output goes to black.
- Freeze: The output freezes on the last good frame.
- Mute: No signal is output. A time delay to when the switch to mute occurs can be adjusted with the Mute Delay control.
Mute Delay
If Mute is selected above, you can set a time delay (0-15 seconds) for how long before the switch to no signal occurs. The FS-Mini output will be Black until the timer expires, then it switches to Mute.
Provides user selection of the HDMI output modes. There is no DIP switch equivalent for these controls. The setting is saved in nonvolatile memory in the module and used for all subsequent operation.
NOTE: The HDMI video output always mirrors the SDI video output, both in content and output format selection. Click on the Output tab to view and make changes to the FS-Mini output settings.
NOTE: When the output format is set to 1080PsF23.98 or 1080PsF24 the HDMI output is disabled since HDMI does not have a corresponding supported format.
Protocol
Selects whether the HDMI output uses DVI or HDMI protocols for sending video to the destination device. These are the choices:
- Auto: Automatically selects the output protocol based on getting the attached HDMI device's EDID information. This is the recommended setting. The selected protocol is shown to the right of the popup control.
- HDMI: Uses HDMI protocols regardless of the attached device's EDID.
- DVI: Uses DVI protocols regardless of the attached device's EDID. Because DVI protocols do not support audio or HDMI InfoFrame ancillary data, select this mode only if you know that the attached device requires it.
Color Space
Selects the HDMI output color space and depth. These are the choices:
- Auto: Automatically selects the mode based on getting the attached HDMI device's EDID information. This is the recommended setting. The selected mode is shown to the right of the pull-down control.
- RGB 8Bit: Uses 8-bit RGB mode regardless of the attached device's EDID.
- RGB 10Bit: Uses 10-bit RGB mode regardless of the attached device's EDID.
- YCbCr 10Bit: Uses 10-bit YCbCr mode regardless of the attached device's EDID.
RGB Range
Selects the output Video Color Range only when the output is RGB. Choose from:
- Auto: Automatically selects the mode based on the attached HDMI device's EDID information. This is the recommended setting. The selected mode is shown to the right of the popup control.
- SMPTE: Scales the output video level to 8-bit range 16 - 235 (10-bit 64 - 940) regardless of the attached device's EDID.
- Full Range: Scales the output video level to 8-bit range 0 - 255 (10-bit 0 - 1023) regardless of the attached device's EDID.
Audio Tab Screen
The Audio Screen is where you can configure FS-Mini HDMI and analog (RCA-style) audio output channels. Pull down menu settings are described following the screen graphic. There is no DIP switch equivalent for these controls. The setting is saved in nonvolatile memory in the module and used for all subsequent operation.
NOTE: The SDI embedded output audio is a channel-for-channel copy of the input SDI embedded audio. There are no user controls.
HDMI Audio
Selects how many SDI channels are passed to the HDMI connector and which channel pairs are selected. These are the choices:
- Auto: The FS-Mini automatically selects the audio output configuration based on communicating with the attached HDMI device. The resulting mode is displayed to the right of the popup control.
- 2 Channel: Outputs a pair of channels from the SDI stream to two channels on the HDMI output connector. The selected audio pair is determined by the Analog Audio setting (below).
- 8 Channel: Outputs SDI channels 1 through 8 to the HDMI output connector.
Analog Audio
Selects the channel pair that will be output to the Analog RCA connectors (L/R) and the HDMI audio output (when HDMI Audio is in 2-channel mode). These are the choices:
• Channel 1+2, Channel 3+4, Channel 5+6, Channel 7+8, Channel 9+10, Channel 11+12, Channel 13+14, Channel 15+16
A/V Offset
Selects how embedded audio delay is managed. These are the choices:
- Off (default): Embedded audio can be advanced by up to one video frame.
- On: Embedded audio can be delayed by up to one video frame.
NOTE: Recommended usage is the control should be On when the source is not locked to a reference and turned Off otherwise.
Update Tab Screen
Use this Update tab screen to view the software version currently installed on the converter or install new software.
NOTE: When discussing Mini-Converters, "Firmware" is software that will be stored in the Mini-Converter's non-volatile memory and used when it is powered up. This is something different than the Mini-Config application software. The version numbers shown in the Update screen refer only to the firmware.
