converter has no user adjustable settings, so you will never need to connect setup software.
Very occasionally, though, internal software updates will be released to improve compatibility
with some devices. For example, Blackmagic Converters Software version 7.0.9 improves this
mini converter’s compatibility with level A 3G SDI signals.
