Simplified Block Diagram
FS-Mini is designed to meet demands of broadcast engineering and live event production while providing incredible flexibility. It receives an untimed signal, frame syncs it, processes it and automatically routes it to both the SDI output for use in production and the HDMI output for monitoring. The user selects which 2-channels of audio are routed to the RCA-style audio monitor outputs.
USB and Mini-Config Support
AJA’s free Mini-Config software can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.

- Full Screen: results in a 4x3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16x9 screen
- Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
- Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16x9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
- Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
- 14x9: image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved, black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped
- Auto AFD: automatically selects the best down-convert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code

Only $1245 US MSRP* 12G-AM WorkflowThe 12G-AM in this workflow diagram is receiving 4K video and embedded audio via 12G-SDI. At the same time, the 12G-AM is disembedding AES audio to the AES I/O for mixing. The output of the mixer is then embedded into the SDI stream being output via the 12G-SDI port of the 12G-AM. This 12G-SDI output is fed directly to a Ki Pro Ultra 12G to record the original 4K video with the newly embedded, mixed audio.

ConnectivityThe OG-3G-AMD provides a 3G-SDI input and 3G-SDI output with four AES BNC connectors in each direction. OG-3G-AMD automatically detects and configures to the input video standard. AES inputs are sample rate converted (SRC) to 48kHz synchronous to the video input. Audio disembedding is always functional providing four AES outputs. Audio embedding is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either embed input AES audio or pass 3G-SDI input audio. Simple user controls using DashBoard software allows channel enabling and mapping. openGear CompatibilityThe openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the future of rackframe products. Flexible I/OThe modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards). FailsafeThe optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure. Ethernet AccessA standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards. DashBoard SoftwareDashBoard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
