Overview
AJA IP Mini-Converters are designed for point of use applications for encoding,
transport, reception and decoding of IP based video sources. Rugged, compact
and fanless, the IP Mini-Converters (models IPT-1G-SDI, IPT-1G-HDMI, IPR-1GSDI, and IPR-1G-HDMI) provide the bridge between Baseband and IP video for a
range of applications, such as transporting and receiving video over IP to or from
remote facilities in post production, source monitoring, digital signage, and video
walls. IP Mini-Converters ease the cost of extensive monitoring distribution in a
facility.
The IPT-1G-SDI encodes SDI video and audio as VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG
2000 encapsulated within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream. Similarly, the IPT-1GHDMI encodes HDMI 1.4 video and audio as VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000
encapsulated within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
The IPR-1G-SDI decodes VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000, and formats the data
for SDI output. The IPR-1G-HDMI decodes VSF TR-01 compliant JPEG 2000, and
formats the data for HDMI 1.4 output. The audio associated with the video stream
is extracted, synchronized, and then embedded into the HDMI or SDI signal as
well as output on an analog RCA audio interface.

System Requirements
Remote computer configuration and control is accomplished using the IP MiniConverter’s internal web server. A Mac OSX or Windows computer with a web
browser installed is all that is required. A USB port is also required for the initial
configuration using eMini-Setup.
NOTE: Safari is the preferred web browser for control on the Mac, and additionally
Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot
guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.

Ready, Lock, and LAN LED Behavior
The Ready LED illuminates green when the unit has finished powering up and is
ready to use.
The Lock LED behavior is as follows:
• O (indicating not locked) when no Program Clock Reference (PCR) has been
received.
IP Mini-Converters JPEG 2000 IP Video/Audio Converters v1.0 9 www.aja.com
• Illuminated amber when in the process of locking (PCR has been received, but
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and/or genlock are not yet locked).
• Illuminated green when the PLL and genlock are both locked.
NOTE: Achieving locked status may take 5 or more minutes depending on network jitter
behavior. The output of the unit will still function during the locking period.
The Control LAN and Media LAN LEDs illuminate to indicate a link. Blinking
indicates activity. Yellow and Green indicate a 10Mbps connection. Green only
indicates a 100Mbps connection. Yellow only indicates a 1000Mbps connection.
Installation Overview
Detailed instructions are provided in "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 12
and "Chapter 3 – IP Mini-Converter Web Interface" on page 20 As an overview,
however, IP Mini-Converters installation typically consists of the following steps:
1. Apply power to the unit.
2. Determine the unit's IP address (DHCP), or initially congure its network
settings using eMini-Setup and a USB connection. This allows you to then
access the unit’s user interface through a web browser.
3. Close the eMini-Setup application, and disconnect the USB cable.
4. Connect the unit to your Ethernet network. Use the Control LAN to make
conguration changes. Use the Media LAN for the incoming (for IPR-1G) or
outgoing (for IPT-1G) video signal over IP stream.
5. Launch a web browser and access the IP Mini-Converters using its IP
address. Continue device conguration as needed from the web interface.
6. Connect the IP Mini-Converters output.
7. Congure the IP Mini-Converters basic operation.
The current IP Mini-Converters configuration settings are retained, even when
powered off, so subsequent installations for an identical decoding or encoding
session can be done with the following simple steps:
1. Apply power to the IP Mini-Converters.
2. Connect the unit to your network using the Control LAN and Media LAN
and connect the unit’s output.
NOTE: Two LAN connections to the unit are not necessarily required on an ongoing basis.
If it is desirable for your installation, after the IP Mini-Converters is set up, you
can access all control parameters through the Media LAN with the appropriate
network configuration. See "Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port
for Control and Media Settings" on page 20 for more information.
NOTE: The IP Mini-Converters pack an unprecedented feature set into mini converter
boxes. As a result, the units use approximately 12 watts of power. They will be very
warm to the touch, which is normal. The units are engineered to operate across
the full temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
NOTE: For highest reliability, the mini converters rely on convection cooling instead
of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the units, mount in a
location where they have access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the
IP Mini-Converters with other mini converters.
IP Mini-Converters JPEG 2000 IP Video/Audio Converters v1.0 10 www.aja.com
Initial Installation for IP Mini-Converters
Network Configuration
The IP Mini-Converters require a network connection to encode or decode an IP
stream. IP Mini-Converterss are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled, so
if your network has a DHCP server, by simply connecting the IP Mini-Converters
to your network with an Ethernet cable, the DHCP server will assign the units
compatible IP addresses.
IP Mini-Converters are shipped from the factory with UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play) services enabled, so they are discoverable through Windows Explorer (for
networked Windows PCs).
The eMini-Setup application, available as a free download from the AJA website,
is used to identity the IP Mini-Converters' current IP addresses, if configured, or to
manually set the initial network configuration to work in your environment. Refer
below to "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 12 for information about installing
and using AJA’s eMini-Setup application.
Once configured and connected to your network, the IP Mini-Converters are
ready for encoding and deccoding.
IP Mini-Converters JPEG 2000 IP Video/Audio Converters v1.0 11 www.aja.com
Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup
Overview
This chapter describes using the eMini-Setup application to initially communicate
with and configure an IP Mini-Converter over a direct USB connection. Once
configured, the IP Mini-Converter can be accessed via an Ethernet network using
a web browser. Subsequently, that device can then be reconfigured over that
network, using its IP address and built-in web server.
NOTE: The eMini-Setup application is only used to setup selected Ethernet capable AJA
devices, and cannot be used to connect to or setup other AJA Mini-Converters.
The general procedure is:
1. Acquire eMini-Setup from the AJA website and install the eMini-Setup
application onto a computer.
2. Connect the IP Mini-Converter to that computer’s USB port.
3. Launch the eMini-Setup application.
4. Go to the Control Network tab and Media Network tab, where the IP
address settings are displayed. You can use the existing DHCP assigned IP
address, or it can be changed manually.
5. You can also use eMini-Setup to load rmware to the device, although this
can also be done quickly and easily using the web browser interface.
Acquiring eMini-Setup
AJA’s eMini-Setup application is available for download from the AJA website.
To download the latest eMini-Setup package, which includes the eMini-Setup
application and documentation:
1. Go to:
https://www.aja.com/family/software#eminisetup
2. Click the link corresponding to the version you want to download for Mac or
Windows.
eMini-Setup Documentation
Included with the eMini-Setup download is the AJA device's Installation and
Operation Guide, which can be accessed from the eMini-Setup UI via the Help/
Manual drop-down menu. This manual includes eMini-Setup information.
Documentation can also be accessed directly from the Mac eMini-Setup installer
in the Documentation folder.
Documentation included with the eMini-Setup application is the version available
