• 5 year warranty About Monitor Compatibility The HDP2 is designed to work with most DVI-D monitors. HDMI monitors are also supported with a standard, inexpensive DVI-to-HDMI cable (user supplied). The HDP2 uses the industry standard EDID communication protocol (within the DVI or HDMI link) to communicate with the monitor, and then adjust the HDP2’s internal scaling engine to scale the input video to the native resolution...
• Sharp Aquos Series Optimal Performance with HP LP2480zx DreamColor When using the HDP2 with an HP LP2480zx, the best results are obtained by using the default HDP2 “Auto” selections (no action required—unless you’ve changed the factory defaults using the Mini Config software supplied).
HDP2 can support Deep Color bit depths up to 30 bits/pixel (1.073 billion colors). Video Scaling As shown in the graphic below, the HDP2 will scale the input video to the best fit for a given monitor and video input. In cases where the input video and the monitor are already the same or similar, the HDP2 automatically turns off scaling.
If the HDP2 scaling is set to “Auto” , the HDP2 will scale the image to best fit the screen while preserving the aspect ratio. In some cases, a letterboxed or pillarboxed image can be expected. Vertical Locking Depending on the input frame rate and the capabilities of the monitor in use, the HDP2 will provide a vertically locked signal to the monitor.
HDP2 Converter USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini Config The HDP2 can usually be used right out of the box for most applications since it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions automatically by default. However you can also manually configure the HDP2 using a supplied software application for PCs and Macs, named “Mini Config.”...
Cancel—this alert can be ignored. To run Mini Config on a PC, find the AJA Mini Config in the program list and locate the AJA Mini Config application. To run Mini Config on a Mac, double-click the Applications folder and locate the AJA Mini Config application.

Text in blue shows the values automatically selected, while text in black shows values that you have manually selected. Text in red shows that HDP2 is not detecting a signal or cannot negotiate with the attached device (even if can’t detect an output device, it still shows the signal it is outputting).
The selections on this screen configure the output video. In all cases, selecting “Auto” allows the HDP2 to conform the output to best serve the attached monitor. This is handled automatically when the HDP2 reads the capabilities indicated by the attached monitor.
Scaling—Choose Auto to let the HDP2 choose based on the attached output device’s capabilities, 1:1 for no scaling, or Scale, to let the HDP2 scale for the attached monitor. Displaying 1:1 only works properly when it is possible to display the entire unscaled raster.
Analog Channel—Choose which 2 embedded audio channels are routed to the RCA output pair: Ch 1+2, Ch 3+4, Ch 5+6, or Ch 7+8.
