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
7.
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.

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.
