Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The HA5-Plus converts HDMI to 3G, HD, or SD SDI. Up to eight channels of HDMI audio are embedded into the SDI 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-Plus supports long HDMI cables on the input. The HA5-Plus is useful for connecting HDMI cameras and other sources to SDI capture cards and equipment.
Features
· HDMI to SDI (see "Appendix A Specifications" on page 17 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 · Uses universal input +5V power supply AJA model DWP-U-R1 (included)
NOTE: The HA5-Plus will not pass HDMI video with HDCP copy protection.

Audio
The HA5-Plus 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.

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-Plus unit through subsequent power cycles.
Installation
Typically, HA5-Plus installation consists of the following steps: 1. Ensure the converter is disconnected from power. 2. Connect equipment to the converter HDMI input connector, the output
BNC 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 · Attach the converter via USB · Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens. · This process is detailed in "Chapter 2 Operation" on page 7.

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.

Figure 3. Mini-Config PC Setup Wizard
5. Click Next to begin. Answer the questions in the subsequent dialogues. When finished, an AJA Mini-Config shortcut will be installed on the desktop, and you will be able to locate the Mini-Config application in the AJA folder in the Programs listing.
NOTE: If the Mini-Config application already exists on the PC, a different Setup Wizard appears.
Figure 4. Mini-Config Setup Wizard, Reinstallation
With this screen you can Repair (reinstall) or Remove (uninstall) Mini-Config on the PC.
Mac Installation
To install the application on a Mac:
NOTE: Mac computers must be Intel-based (G5, G4 and earlier models will not work with Mini-Config).
1. Download the application from the AJA website (select the Apple icon on the Mini-Config Support web page).
2. Open the AJA_MiniConfig folder. 3. Double-click on the AJAMiniConfig.dmg file.
HA5-Plus Mini-Converter v1.9

4. Answer the prompt and a utility program will be launched. Figure 5. Mini-Config Mac Installer
5. To complete the installation drag the MiniConfig.app icon to the Applications folder.
Running Mini-Config
Connect the Mini-Converter to the PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable. Connect the external power supply (supplied) to the Mini-Converter.
PC Startup
To run Mini-Config on a PC, double-click on the AJA Mini-Config icon on your desktop, or open the AJA folder in the program list and click on the AJA MiniConfig application located inside the Mini-Config folder.
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 allows you to save the current state of the Mini-Converter to a preset file for later recall.
HA5-Plus Mini-Converter v1.9

www.aja.com
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.
