You can use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output to a monitor with an HDMI input
interface, so that you can monitor the input, output and audio display in real time.
The default output of HDMI output is multi-screen PVW (Preview) monitoring screen, so you
can see the audio and video conditions of all input signal sources, you can see the current status of
each function of mini-pro, and you can also see the PST (Preset) and current PGM (program)output.
In addition to supporting multi-screen monitoring, HDMI output also supports single screen
display of any one of the four inputs. You can switch between PVW and PGM In【Video Output】
menu.

Minimum System Requirements for macOS
● macOS 11.0 Big Sur or later
● macOS 10.15 Catalina
Minimum System Requirements for Windows
Note:If your computer only has a Type-C port, you can use a USB-A to Type-C cable to transmit the webcam
signal. Please note that the Type-C cable you choose needs to support data transmission. The signal is
recognized in Windows and MAC system as「RGBlink USB 3.0 Capture」.
Note: For general camera, there usually is a certain delay due to the processing of light-to-electricity conversion
during the filming process but the processing of MIC is relatively simple,so there will be video picture failing to
keep up with MIC audio, which is synchronization problem. Therefore, it is necessary to do audio delay setting
for the MIC audio to ensure the synchronization of the picture and the sound, which will be explained in the
introduction of "Audio Control" later.

CPU：i5 and above
● Connector: USB 3.0 or type c
● Operating System: macOS 11.0 Big Sur or later
macOS 10.15 Catalina
● Others: do not run multiple video capture or editing software simultaneously
You can either connect the mini-pro directly to your computer via the LAN port provided by the
mini-pro, or link the mini-pro to your router and the computer to the Wi-Fi emitted by your wireless
router.
5.1 Connect mini-pro and computer
Direct Link via a Network Cable
(1)Modify mini-pro’s IP Address
The mini-pro is connected to a computer via TCP/IP protocol for data transfer. Therefore, you need
to keep the mini-pro on the same IP network segment as your PC or mobile device. If the mini-pro is
connected directly to a computer, you need to change the mini-pro's IP manually to avoid IP
conflicts on the same network segment.
Steps to modify mini-pro’s IP address:
1. Push【M】button,enter【Settings】--【IP Setting】menu;
Note:The IP address of the mini-pro must be in the same WLAN segment as the computer or the mobile
control device you choose.
© Xiamen RGBlink Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
Ph: +86 592 5771197
38
2. Change value of IP via touch screen and toggle
(2) Change the PC’s IP Address
To ensure that the mini-pro and the PC can communicate smoothly, the IP address of the computer
needs to be verified.
Steps to modify the IP address of the Ethernet port (windows).
1
1. Open the Network Sharing Center;
Click on "Ethernet";
2.
2. Access to Properties may require administrator
privileges;
Under "This connection uses the following
items", find "Internet Protocol version 4
(TCP/IPv4)";

Static Direct Connection
To ensure that XPOSE mini can connect in different classes of subnet masks, if you find that you
cannot connect to the mini series by searching, please try to use the direct connection method. The
direct connection feature was added after XPOSE mini was updated to version V1.0.0.9.
Connect Wirelessly with Your Router
The mini-pro provides wireless control, so you can control it from a greater distance when the
mini-pro is not in your immediate vicinity. A wireless router is required to use this feature. The
computer receives the WIFI signal from the wireless router you connect the mini-pro to.
1. Open XPOSE mini and click on the icon in
the upper right corner .
2. Enter the IP address of the currently
connected mini-pro.
3. Select "Use the following IP address" and
change the IP address to the same network
segment as mini-pro
eg: mini-pro's IP address is 192.168.0.99, then the
computer's IP address can be set to
192.168.0.1-255. Please make sure that the IP
addresses do not conflict.

PAL:
Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the colour carrier is alternated from line to line. It
takes four full images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontalimages (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontal phase
relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason, the hue
control is not needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in Western
Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Micronesia. PAL uses 625-line, 50-field (25 fps) composite colour

of video light produced on a screen without regard to colour.
Sometimes called black level.
●
Contrast
Ratio:
The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. In theory, the
contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several limitations.
Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.
●
Colour
Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source. The higher the
colour
temperature, the bluer the light. The lower the temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark colour temperature
for the A/V industryinclude5000°K,6500°K,and9000°K.

from white. The less white in a colour, the truer the colour or the greater its saturation. Saturation is the amount of
pigment in a colour, and not the intensity.
●
Gamma:
The light output of a CRT is not linear with respect to the voltage input. The difference between what
you should have and what is actually output is known as gamma.
●Frame: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete image.A video frame is made up of two fields, or two sets of
interlaced lines. In a film, a frame is one still image of a series that makes up a motion image.
●
Genlock:
Allows synchronisation of otherwise video devices. A signal generator provides a signal pulses which
connected devices can reference. Also see Black Burst and Color Burst.
●Blackburst:
The video waveform without the video elements.It includes the vertical sync, horizontal sync, and
the Chroma burst information. Blackburst is used to synchronize video equipment to align the video output.
●ColourBurst: In colour TV systems, a burst of subcarrier frequency located on the back part of the composite video
signal. This serves as a colour synchronizing signal to establish a frequency and phase reference for the Chroma signal.
Colour burst is 3.58 MHz for NTSC and 4.43 MHz for PAL.
●Colour Bars:
A standard test pattern of several basic
colours (white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and black)
as a reference for system alignment and testing. In NTSC video, the most commonly used colour bars are the SMPTE
standard colour bars. In PAL video, the most commonly used colour bars are eight full field bars. On computer
monitors the most commonly used colour bars are two rows of reversed colour bars
●Seamless Switching: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature causes the switcher to wait until the
vertical interval to switch. This avoids a glitch (temporary scrambling) which often is seen when switching between
sources.
●Scaling: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting resolution to a new resolution. Scaling from
one resolution to another is typically done to optimize the signal for input to an image processor, transmission path or
to improve its quality when presented on a particular display.
●
PIP:
Picture-In-Picture. A small image within a larger image created by scaling down one of image to make it smaller.
Other forms of PIP displays include Picture-By-Picture (PBP) and Picture- With-Picture (PWP), which are commonly used
with 16:9 aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats require a separate scaler for each video window .
●HDR: is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic
range of luminosity than what is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to
present a similar range of luminance to that experienced through the human visual system.
●UHD:
Standing for Ultra High Definition andcomprising
4Kand 8Ktelevision standardswith a16:9 ratio, UHD follows
the 2K HDTV standard. A UHD 4K displayhasaphysical resolution of3840x2160 which is four times the area and twice
both the widthandheightofaHDTV/FullHD(1920x1080) video signal.
●EDID: Extended Display Identification Data. EDID is a data structure used to communicate
video display information,

including native resolution and vertical interval refresh rate
requirements, to a source device. The source device will then
output the provided EDID data, ensuring proper video image quality.
