Chapter 2: Operation
USB Control and Setup—Using AJA MiniConfig
The Hi5-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 Hi5-Plus using a supplied software
application for PCs and Macs called “MiniConfig.” This same application can be used to
update Mini-Converter firmware released by AJA.
Installing
MiniConfig on a Mac
To install the application on a Mac, insert the CD supplied with the
Mini-Converter into the computer, drag the “AJA MiniConfig”
application for your platform (Mac or PC) to your desktop or an
applications folder.
NOTE: Macintosh computers must be Intel-based (G5, G4 and earlier models will not work with
MiniConfig).
Installing
MiniConfig on a PC
To install the application on a Windows PC, insert the CD supplied with the Mini-
Converter into the computer, locate the “MiniInstaller” application, and then double-
click it.
Figure 3. MiniConfig Setup Wizard on PC
A Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation. Just click Next to begin.
Answer all questions in the subsequent dialogues; when done, you will be able to locate
the MiniConfig application in the AJA folder in the Programs listing.
Running MiniConfig Connect the Mini-Converter to the PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable. Connect the
external power supply (supplied) to the Mini-Converter.

Hi5-Plus v1.0 www.aja.com

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. Double-click the application to launch it.
Figure 5. Mac MiniConfig Startup
NOTE: On a Mac, when the Mini-Converter is connected to the USB port, you may see an alert like
that shown below. If you do, press Cancel—this alert can be ignored.
Figure 6. Mac Network Message (ignore)
Saving Setups A File menu at the top of the MiniConfig application menu bar allows you to Save the
state of the Mini-Converter, with your current settings, to a file for later recall. This allows
you to set up the converter for different applications, storing each (with Save) to a unique
name for easy recall—using the Open menu item. A Revert to Factory Settings menu item
similarly allows you to change the settings back to AJA’s factory defaults. An Edit menu
allows you to cut and paste values to/from fields, just as in other applications.
Operating
MiniConfig
The MiniConfig 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 Mini-
Converter is doing:
•Blue text indicates the values automatically selected

Hi5-Plus v1.0 www.aja.com
9
•Black text indicates values that you have manually selected
•Red text indicates the Mini-Converter is not detecting a signal or cannot negotiate with
the attached device
NOTE: Even if no output device is detected, it still shows the signal it is outputting.
NOTE: Configuration settings in red will change based on the attached output device as well as input
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.
Running Multiple Mini-
Converters:
MiniConfig 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 and update multiple Mini-Converters in parallel,
you can do it by running multiple instances of the MiniConfig application and have each
control a different Mini-Converter.
Figure 7. MiniConfig, Video Screen
Selecting a Mini-Converter with the dropdown menu causes this application to connect
to the selected converter. The graphic of Mini-Converter and text below it provides:
• Type of converter
• Firmware version
• Serial number of the unit
A status field at the bottom of the screen shows if your application is connected and
communicating with the Mini-Converter.

When configuring the Mini-Converter, select it from the top pulldown, view the current
settings and change any values. Making a change communicates that new value to the
Mini-Converter’s non-volatile memory.
Tabbed Screens The Tabs delineate control screens with groups of controls for each type of task to be
performed. The controls for the actual configuration parameters are specific to each
Mini-Converter type. Click on any of the tab buttons and the screen below will change to
match. Each of these screens are described on the following pages.
Input Tab Screen With your Mini-Converter connected and selected, you’ll click on the Input tab to view
