Installation

Typically, 12GM installation consists of the following steps:

1. Ensure the 12GM is disconnected from power.

2. Connect video equipment to the converter BNC connectors.

3. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).

4. The 12GM will now run using the default factory settings. If you wish to alter

the factory settings, you’ll need to:

• Install the AJA Mini-Cong software on your computer

• Attach the 12GM via USB

• Make your changes using AJA Mini-Cong setup screens.

This process is detailed in "USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-Config" on page

NOTE: The 12GM packs an unprecedented feature set into a mini converter box. As a

result, the unit uses approximately 12 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.

NOTE: For highest reliability, the mini converter relies on convection cooling instead

of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the unit, mount in a location

where it has access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the 12GM with other

mini converters.

A Revert to Factory Settings menu item similarly allows you to change the

settings back to AJA’s factory defaults.

Operating AJA Mini-Config

The AJA Mini-Config 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

• Black text indicates values that you have manually selected

• Red text indicates the Mini-Converter is not detecting a signal, or cannot

operate with the current user settings.

NOTE: Even if no output device is detected, the SDI connector text 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.

Input SDI

Selects the input video format. Choose from the following:

Auto - Automatically selects the format based on the detected input video

parameters. To the right of the drop-down menu, the status display reflects

the current Input SDI behavior.

In order for "Auto" to select Quad Link (SDI 1-4), all four inputs must match in

terms of data rate, link mapping, raster, frame rate, scan type, sampling, bit

depth, and pixel mapping.

Single Link (SDI 1) - Select this option if you have a Single Link UltraHD/4K signal

coming in through SDI In 1.

Single Link (SDI 2) - Select this option if you have a Single Link UltraHD/4K signal

coming in through SDI In 2.

Single Link (SDI 3) - Select this option if you have a Single Link UltraHD/4K signal

coming in through SDI In 3.

Single Link (SDI 4) - Select this option if you have a Single Link UltraHD/4K signal

coming in through SDI In 4.

Quad Link (SDI 1-4) - Select this option if you have a Quad Link UltraHD/4K signal

coming in through SDI In 1-4.

Input Mapping

NOTE: Input pixel mapping applies only to 4K/UltraHD signals being transported on

Quad Link 4 x 3G inputs, as 6G and 12G SDI are always Two Sample Interleave

(2SI), and Quad Link 1.5G SDI is always Square Division (Quadrant).

12GM Mini-Converter v1.6r1 13 www.aja.com

For 4K/UltraHD signals using Quad Link 3Gbps transport, the Video Payload

Identifier (VPID) embedded in each link indicates whether the pixel mapping

is 2SI or not. If 2SI is not indicated, the 12GM assumes that the input signal is

mapped Square Division (Quadrant). Note that there are no specific VPID bits to

indicate Square Division (Quadrant).

Use the Input Mapping control to select the input mapping. Choose from the

following:

Auto - Analyzes details of each input. The VPID from each input signal indicates

whether its pixel mapping is Two Sample Interleave (2SI) or Square Division

(Quadrant).

In order for "Auto" to select 2SI pixel mapping, the video input (whether

single link 6G-SDI or 12G-SDI, or Quad Link 3G-SDI) must indicate 2SI with its

embedded VPID(s).

2SI - Select this option if you are inputting a Two Sample Interleave (2SI) pixel

mapped signal.

SQD - Select this option if you are inputting a Square Division (Quadrant) pixel

mapped signal.

Timing Tab Screen

Figure 11. Example of Timing Tab Screen showing Quad 3G-SDI to Single

12G-SDI conversion using Square Division (Quadrant) to Two Sample

Interleave (2SI) pixel mapping.

The purpose of the Timing Tab Screen is to validate that all four links of a Quad

Link input signal meet the required 400ns link-to-link timing, and if not, which

link(s) are not meeting this specification.

The Timing Tab Screen measures timing differences link to link, but displays

timing values relative to SDI 1 for ease of understanding and correcting timing

issues. If the SDI In 1, 2, 3, and 4 links are within +/- 400ns relative to each other,

then the text will be blue. If two or more links are determined to be more than

+/- 400ns relative to each other, then the text is red. The Timing analyzer has a

measurement range of +/- 1/2 frame.

The first row of the Pixels Timing information indicates any horizontal offset

in terms of pixels for each link, while the second row of the Pixels Timing

information indicates the horizontal offset in terms of microseconds. The two

rows display the same information represented in different terms (pixels versus

microseconds). The pixel information (pixels and time) indicates offset of up to 1

line. If the offset exceeds 1 line, then the line count is incremented.

The Total row displays each link's total offset (vertical timing plus horizontal

offset) in terms of time.

12GM Mini-Converter v1.6r1 16 www.aja.com

Figure 12. Example of Timing Tab Screen showing Quad 3G-SDI to Single

12G-SDI conversion using Square Division (Quadrant) to Two Sample

Interleave (2SI) pixel mapping. In this example, a timing error message

displays.

The above Timing Tab Screen shows that links 2, 3, and 4 are equally advanced

with respect to link 1 by about 60 pixels. Since all three links are equally

advanced, most likely link 1 has an additional function element (piece of

processing equipment or additional processing function) which is delaying it 60

lines—so links 2, 3, and 4 appear advanced.

To solve this error, the signal chain feeding SDI Input 1 needs to be analyzed

to determine the cause of the delay. Once found, the delay should be reduced

enough so that it is less than 400ns between links 1 and 2, 1 and 3, and 1 and 4.

Click on the Output tab to view and make changes to the converter’s output

settings.

Output SDI

Auto - Automatically selects the output format based on the inputs detected.

If Quad Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) is detected on the input, the output will

auto-select to a Single Link (SDI 1) multiplex output.

If Single Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1) is detected on the input, the output will auto-

select to a Quad Link (SDI 1-4) to demux the signal to four outputs using SDI

Outputs 1-4.

Single Link (SDI 1) - Causes the 12GM to use only SDI Output 1. The combination

of input and output settings determines whether the 12GM is muxing,

demuxing or passing through.

Quad Link (SDI 1-4) - Causes the 12GM to use SDI Outputs 1-4, if possible. The

combination of input and output settings determines whether the 12GM is

muxing, demuxing or passing through.

Output Mapping

NOTE: Output pixel mapping applies only to 4K/UltraHD signals being transported

on Quad Link 4x 3G outputs. 6G and 12G SDI are always Two Sample

Interleave (2SI), and Quad Link 1.5G SDI is always Square Division (Quadrant).

Selects the output mapping for Quad Link 4x 3G outputs. Choose from the

following:

Auto - Automatically selects the output pixel mapping based on the input pixel

mapping detected.

12GM Mini-Converter v1.6r1 18 www.aja.com

If Quad Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) 2SI is detected on the input, the output pixel

mapping will be SQD.

If Quad Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) SQD is detected on the input, the output

pixel mapping will be 2SI.

If Dual Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) 1.5G SQD is detected on the input, the output

pixel mapping will be 6G 2SI.

If Quad Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) SQD or 2SI 3G is detected on the input, the

output pixel mapping will be 12G 2SI.

If Dual Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) 6G is detected on the input, the output pixel

mapping will be Quad 1.5G SQD.

If Single Link UltraHD/4K (SDI 1-4) 12G is detected on the input, the output

pixel mapping will be Quad 3G 2SI.

2SI - Causes the 12GM to output a Two Sample Interleave (2SI) pixel mapped

signal.

SQD - Causes the 12GM to output a Square Division (Quadrant) pixel mapped

signal.

3G-SDI Mode

The 12GM's 3G-SDI Mode offers the choice between Auto, Level A and Level B-DL.

Auto - The 12GM will automatically select Level A or Level B-DL based on the

inputs detected.

• For Single Link 12G input, Auto will select 4x 3G Level A for the output.

• For a Single Link 6G input, Auto will select 4x 1.5G for the output.

• For a Single Link 3G Level A input, Auto will select 2x 3G Level B-DL for

the output.

Level A - The SDI Outputs will carry a 3G-SDI Level A signal to support these

configurations:

• 4x 3G-SDI Level B-DL to 4x 3G-SDI Level A

• 1.5G-SDI to 3G-SDI Level A

Level B-DL - The SDI Outputs will carry a 3G-SDI Level B-DL signal to support

these configurations:

• 12G-SDI to 4x 3G-SDI Level B-DL

• 4x 3G-SDI Level A to 4x 3G-SDI Level B-DL

• 3G-SDI Level A to 1.5G-SDI

DA Function

The 12GM's Distribution Amplifier (DA) function is available for Single Link output

signals.

On - When turned on, the DA function will duplicate SDI Output 1's signal on SDI

Outputs 2, 3, and 4.

NOTE: If the output is a Quad Link signal, the DA function is overridden and turned

off.

Off - When turned off, no signal duplication will occur.
