Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
AJA IPTR-10G2-Series 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 IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters provide
the bridge between Baseband and IP video for a range of applications,
such as sending and receiving video over IP from remote facilities in
post production, source monitoring, digital signage, and video walls.
IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters ease the cost of extensive monitoring
distribution in a facility.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Transmitters take baseband HDMI or SDI input
and encode the data as SMPTE 2110. The embedded audio associated with the
video stream is also encoded to SMPTE 2110. Alternatively, analog audio can be
encoded and sent with the video stream instead.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Receivers decode SMPTE 2110 and format the data
for either HDMI or SDI 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 a stereo analog RCA audio output.
All UltraHD rates (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50) can be received only by the IPR-10G2-
HDMI.
The IPR-10G2-HDMI can provide RGB (rather than YCbCr) to a compatible monitor
if the monitor or other sink device indicates this availability via EDID.

IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Tx/Rx v2.5r1 6 www.aja.com
Pre-Built System Configuration Modes for IPR-10G2
There is a set of pre-built system configuration modes, or "system modes,"
available from the System Mode control on the Config page of the IPR-10G2 web
UI. These pre-built System Modes are designed to save you time so that you can
get your unit up and running quickly.
Each System Mode is built for a specific type of use case, taking into account
factors such as network conditions, protection requirements, timing, and latency
considerations.
Please see "System Modes" on page 40 for more detailed information.
NOTE: The System Modes are available only for the IPR-10G2-SDI and IPR-10G2-HDMI
units; they are not needed on the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI units since the
transmitter's functionality is simpler.
On a high level, the five pre-built System Modes are described as follows:
PTP Low Latency
• Appropriate under ideal network conditions
• Fastest method of moving data through the device (does not require signal
processing)
• Provides the least amount of packet-level and frame-level protection
• Remote sender and AJA IPR-10G2 receiver are locked to PTP
PTP Protected
• Provides the highest amount of packet-level and frame-level protection,
including redundancy support with ST 2022-7
• Maximum latency due to longer signal processing chain
• Remote sender and AJA IPR-10G2 receiver are locked to PTP
Gateway
• Bridges between PTP and Reference Video timed domains
• Provides frame-level protection
• Moderate latency due to signal processing chain
Gateway Protected
• Bridges between PTP and Reference Video timed domains
• Provides the highest amount of packet-level and frame-level protection,
including redundancy support with ST 2022-7
• Maximum latency due to longer signal processing chain
Asynchronous
• Intended as a setup environment or troubleshooting and demo tool
• Not for production
• When unable to lock to PTP or when experiencing problems with Reference
In, uses Video In to verify that video is being received from source address
• Provides frame-level protection (no packet-level protection)
• Moderate latency due to signal processing chain
Advanced
Unlike the five pre-built System Modes just described, each of which are "safe,"
Advanced Mode does not guard against a user applying contradictory settings
that could provide unpredictable results.

IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Tx/Rx v2.5r1 7 www.aja.com
Characteristics of Advanced Mode include the following:
• For custom configurations
• Has no native default settings
• Can be used to iterate and expand upon the five pre-built System Modes
described above
• Provides free-range access to:
• Video Clock Mode
• Packet Protection Mode
• Frame Sync Mode
• System Mode
• Audio Sample Rate Converter
• When selected, Advanced Mode will retain the settings of the previously
selected System Mode, and the user may proceed to customize settings as
desired. This means that any of the System Modes can be modified using
Advanced Mode and then saved as a Preset on the Presets screen.
NOTE: When working with Advanced Mode, if the configuration settings become
problematic, you can always "revert" to one of the five pre-built System Modes to
get the unit running again with established internally compatible settings.

System Requirements
Remote computer configuration and control is accomplished using the
IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters' internal web server. A macOS X or Windows
computer with a web browser installed is all that is required. Additionally, initial
configuration using eMini-Setup will require a USB port between the host
computer and the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.
NOTE: Chrome and Firefox are the preferred web browsers for control on Windows.
Safari is the preferred web browser for control on macOS. Other web browsers
may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or
web browser versions.

The Control LAN LED illuminates to indicate a link. Blinking indicates activity.
The Ready LED illuminates green when the unit has finished powering up and is
ready to use.
The Link/Act LED 1 and Link/Act LED 2 behavior is as follows:
• Off - No SFP+ module present
• Red - SFP+ module present, no link
• Green - Link is up
• Green flash - Link is up and there is Tx or Rx activity
The Lock LED behavior is as follows:
• Off - No Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is detected
• Red - A PTP error is detected
• Yellow and flashing - Locking Phase 1
• Yellow - Locking Phase 2
• Green and flashing - Locking Phase 3
• Green - Signal is 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.
Installation Overview
Detailed instructions are provided in "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 18 and
"Chapter 3 – IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters Web Interface" on page 27.
As an overview, however, there are two methods available for initial setup for

Hardware Installation
Temperature of Unit
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters pack an unprecedented feature set into the mini
converter box. As a result, the unit uses approximately 13 watts of power. It will be
very warm to the touch, which is normal. The unit is engineered to operate across
the full temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
Access to Air for Proper Cooling
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
IPTR-10G2-Series Mini-Converters with other mini converters or other powered
equipment.
Number of LAN Connections
Three LAN connections to the unit are not necessarily required on an ongoing
basis. If it is desirable for your installation, after the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter is
set up, you can access all control parameters through one of the Media LANs with
the appropriate network configuration. See "Networking Option – Using Only the
Media LAN Port for Control and Media Settings" on page 27 for more information.
Settings Retained
The current 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter's 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 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.
2. Connect the unit to your network using the Control LAN, Media LAN 1 and
Media LAN 2 and connect the unit’s inputs and outputs.
REST API Documentation
AJA’s REST automation API provides a platform from which you can issue
commands to an AJA device’s internal web server, allowing remote systems
the ability to control AJA embedded or networked devices. With this control
framework, you can build integration and automation scripts, using any scripting
language, allowing you to take full advantage of the device’s functionality.

Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup
Overview
This chapter describes using the eMini-Setup application to initially communicate
with and configure a 10 GigE 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 tabs, 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.
