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.
PC or Mac) 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 MiniConfig 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.
Auto controls configures the unit automatically to match the input and output video parameters. Advanced MiniConfig control supports setting the RGB video range, and adjusting audio input, conversion, and routing to embedded HDMI audio. Configuration set via MiniConfig is stored in the HA5-Plus unit through subsequent power cycles. Installation Typically, HA5-X Plus installation consists of the following steps: 1.
Chapter 2: Operation USB Control and Setup—Using AJA MiniConfig The HA5-Plus 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 HA5-Plus using a supplied software application for PCs and Macs called “MiniConfig.
PC Startup To run MiniConfig on a PC, find the AJA MiniConfig in the program list and locate the AJA MiniConfig application. Figure 4. PC MiniConfig Startup Mac Startup To run MiniConfig on a Mac, double-click the Applications folder and locate the AJA MiniConfig application.

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- MiniConfig can manage multiple AJA Mini-Converters connected via USB—even when Converters: 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.
