10 GigE IP Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Transmit/Receive v2.2r1 5 www.aja.com
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
AJA 10 GigE 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 10 GigE IP 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. 10 GigE IP 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 and IPR-10G-HDMI.
Both the IPR-10G2-HDMI and the IPR-10G-HDMI can provide RGB (rather than
YCbCr) to a compatible monitor if the monitor or other sink device indicates this
availability via EDID.

10 GigE IP Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Transmit/Receive v2.2r1 6 www.aja.com
Pre-Built System Configuration Modes for IPR-10G2 and IPR-
10G
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 43 for more detailed information.
NOTE: The System Modes are available only for the IPR units; they are not found on the
IPT units.
NOTE: Like the IPR-10G2-HDMI and IPR-10G2-SDI, the IPR-10G-HDMI has the System
Modes. However, since the 10G model does not have dual stream redundancy, it
does not offer the highest level of packet-level protection. It can re-order packets
into the correct order and provide Frame Sync, but it does not have the second
stream input for signal stream redundancy, nor does single stream mode provide
any dropped packet protection.
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

10 GigE IP Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Transmit/Receive v2.2r1 7 www.aja.com
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.
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
10 GigE IP 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.
Control LAN, Ready, Link/Act, and Lock LED Behavior
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 21 and
"Chapter 3 – 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters Web Interface" on page 30.
As an overview, however, there are two methods available for initial setup for
10 GigE IP Mini-Converters:
1. Using a web browser on the host computer connected to the same network
as the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter, or
2. Using the AJA eMini-Setup application running on the host computer that is
directly connected to the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter via USB.
Initial Setup By Web Browser
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.

10 GigE IP Mini-Converters SMPTE 2110 IP Transmit/Receive v2.2r119 www.aja.com
10 GigE IP Mini-Converters require a network connection for initial configuration,
control and firmware updates. 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters are shipped from the
factory with DHCP enabled, and support automatic network discovery via SSDP
and MDNS.
To Set Up the Unit with a Web Browser
1. Connect the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Control Port to the intended
network with an Ethernet cable.
2. The intended network’s DHCP Server will assign an IP address and the 10
GigE IP Mini-Converter will join that network.
3. Locate and connect to the AJA 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.
Windows PC Host
A. Open Windows Explorer.
B. Navigate to the Network.
C. Click on the Network to enumerate network devices.
D. Search for either “IPT-10G2,” "IPR-10G2," or the device’s Serial Number.
E. Double-click on the intended 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter. The host machine
web browser will launch and display the web UI for the device.
macOS Host
A. Go to System Preferences > Sharing and turn on File Sharing.
B. Open the Finder Window.
C. Navigate to Shared > All…
D. Click on All… to enumerate network devices.
E. Search for either “IPT-10G2,” "IPR-10G2," or the device’s Serial Number.
F. Double-click on the intended 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter. The host machine
web browser will launch and display the web UI for the device.
NOTE: If the above does not work, then you will need to download and install an MDNS
browser to assist with discovering network devices on a macOS host.
Initial Setup By AJA eMini-Setup
1. Acquire AJA eMini-Setup (version 2.1) from the AJA website for either
macOS or Windows:
https://www.aja.com/family/software#eminisetup
2. Install eMini-Setup:
A. Unzip the Installer.
B. Run the .dmg file on macOS or the .msi file on Windows.
3. Connect Power to your AJA Ethernet equipped Converter.
4. Connect the USB cong cable to the computer running eMini-Setup.
5. Open eMini-Setup and congure the device’s network settings.
NOTE: DHCP is enabled by default, and if the device is connected to a DHCP server the IP
address field will populate.
6. Enter the IP address into a browser window. The web UI for your AJA device
will display.
7. Use the web UI to fully congure and control your AJA Device.

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
10 GigE IP 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 30 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.
