Figure 1. HA5-Fiber Converter, Simplified Block Diagram
The HA5-Fiber 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.

Installation

Typically, HA5-Fiber installation consists of the following steps:
1. Ensure the converter is disconnected from power.
2. Connect equipment to the converter HDMI input connector, the 3G, HD-SDI or SD-
SDI over Fiber ST output 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.
6. This process is detailed in "Chapter 2: Operation on page 8".

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.

Running Multiple Mini-
Converters
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.
outputting.
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.
Mini-Config can manage multiple AJA Mini-Converters connected via USB—even when 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. If you want to configure multiple Mini-Converters in parallel, you can do it by running multiple instances of the Mini-Config application and have each control a different Mini-Converter.
NOTE: During a Mini-Converter firmware update, only one Mini-Converter should be connected to
the computer via USB.
