U-TAP Series HDMI or SDI to USB Mini-Converter v1.2 3 www.aja.com

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview

AJA’s U-TAP Mini-Converter series provides video professionals with inexpensive,
extremely compact devices that convert an HDMI 1.4a or 3G-SDI video stream to
USB 3.0. U-TAP accepts up to 1920x1080 HDMI or SDI inputs ranging from 23.98
fps up to 60 fps. The input signal is automatically scaled (if necessary) to the
output size determined by the host application.

The USB 3.0 interface provides enough bandwidth for full broadcast-quality video
and audio, available if the host environment can support that bandwidth. U-TAP is
powered via the USB 3.0 connection with no need for an additional power supply,
minimizing cabling and maximizing portability.

NOTE: U-TAP is compatible with standard UVC video/UAC audio drivers, which means

wide USB support by OS X and Windows operating systems, with no need
to install special drivers, and can work directly with a broad range of video
applications (for example, VLC or QuickTime player).

Two models of U-TAP are available, each with different input capabilities.

U-TAP Features

• One USB 3.0 port

• 8-bit video support

• 2-Channel embedded audio support

• Rugged compact size

• Power via USB

U-TAP-HDMI Models

• One HDMI v1.4a input

NOTE: U-TAP does not support HDCP.

Chapter 2 – Installation

Unpacking U-TAP

As you unpack U-TAP, carefully examine the unit to ensure that nothing was
damaged during shipment. If you find any damage, immediately notify the
shipping service and supply them with a complete description of the damage.
AJA will repair or replace damaged units. If you find shipping damage, contact
your AJA dealer or distributor for details on how to have your U-TAP repaired or
replaced.

Save packing materials and the shipping box. If you ever require service or move
your system—use the packaging materials and box for safe shipment.

After you unpack your U-TAP, go to the AJA website to download the latest
software package and updated documentation. You will need a USB cable to
connect to your computer.

Installation Overview

The installation and setup of U-TAP is very simple. The steps of installation and
configuration are discussed here and summarized as follows:

1. Unpack the shipping box (see above).

2. Ensure that appropriate application software is installed on your USB
equipped computer, as detailed in its user documentation.

3. Connect the U-TAP USB output port to your computer, using the provided
cable. The U-TAP is powered through the USB 3.0 port.

NOTE: The first time U-TAP is connected to a computer extra time may be required for

the OS to access and configure the appropriate drivers. On Windows machines
could take from 3 to 5 minutes. On Macs this time should be much shorter.
Each OS should report successful driver installation. Subsequent U-TAP USB
connections should occur immediately.

4. Connect the SDI or HDMI input to your source device.

5. U-TAP will now be operational, automatically detecting the input signal
format and decoding the video (and two channels of embedded audio if
present) to the USB output.

NOTE: Connecting multiple U-TAPs could compromise power delivery, and excessive USB

bus traffic (from another U-TAP or other devices sharing that USB bus) can reduce
the computer’s performance.

6. Launch your video application on the connected computer and use its
UI controls to access the video and audio being converted by U-TAP. For
example:

• For VLC, go to Media/Open Capture device, and select U-TAP.

• For QuickTime Player, go to File menu, click New Movie Recording, and

select U-TAP using the down arrow next to the record button.

Firmware Update Procedure

U-TAP firmware and updater .zip files are available for download from the AJA
website:

1. Download from the AJA website the free AJA_U-TAP.zip package for your
computer operating system.

• AJA_U-TAP_Win_.zip. or

• A JA _U-TAP_ M ac _. zi p

2. Extract the .zip le on your computer.

3. Connect the U-TAP Mini-Converter to your computer with the provided
USB3 cable.

NOTE: Only one U-TAP should be connected to your computer when updating firmware.

4. Run the .dmg or .exe le and install the Updater application.

5. Launch the AJA U-TAP Updater application. If a connected U-TAP is found,
a window opens reporting the current rmware versions installed and the
versions available for update.

NOTE: If a U-TAP is not detected, a No Module Connected message is displayed.

U-TAP Series HDMI or SDI to USB Mini-Converter v1.2 9 www.aja.com

Figure 7. U-TAP Updater Screen

6. Click on the Update button to update the U-TAP rmware.

7. A progress bar will report the progress of each rmware update.

NOTE: Macs typically require 2 or 3 minutes to install the U-TAP firmware. Windows

machines typically install the U-TAP firmware in about a minute.

8. When complete, a message indicates the U-TAP must be rebooted.

9. Reboot the U-TAP by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.

10. Your U-TAP will now be operational with the new rmware.

Chapter 3 – Operation

Introduction

Once installed, U-TAP operation depends on the application being used, and
often can be extremely simple. U-TAP works with each application using the
standard signal routing methods used by that application.

Quicktime Operation

As an example, for QuickTime operation on Mac OS, simply launch QuickTime,
click on the menu button next to the record button, and then select the desired
U-TAP and signal sources.

Figure 8. Quicktime U-TAP Operation

Multiple U-TAP Mini-Converters can be connected to the computer
simultaneously. Each U-TAP unit is given a uniquely numbered name before
shipment from the factory.
