FS Family

FS1

Powerful and flexible frame synchronizer.
Establish a consistent format for post production or broadcast.

FS2

Dual-channel conversion and frame synchronizing in a 1RU space.
FS2 can do the work of two separate devices.

The power to convert

AJA's FS family brings the full power of our hardware conversion expertise within compact 1RU rack units that offer unrivalled flexibility. Delivering AJA's industry standard up/down/cross converter technology for the highest quality images, FS units are ideal for high-density applications such as mobile trucks and packed machine rooms, able to replace multiple hardware units in a single rack slot. A wide range of conversion possibilities makes them perfect for converting disparate sources to a common format, or handling whatever formats the production environment might throw at you.

Digital and analog I/O flexibility

FS frame synchronizers are loaded with comprehensive I/O that lets them handle a wide range of analog and digital signals - and convert between them. Perfect for use in broadcast and post production environments, FS units feature Dual HD/SD-SDI inputs and outputs, comprehensive multi-channel audio connections and I/O for analog video equipment, including HD and SD component. FS2 also features HDMI I/O with support for 3D output, and a Fiber connectivity option.

AJA hardware conversion technology

AJA's powerful hardware conversion technology ensures the highest image quality for your productions.

Key conversion features include:

SD/HD up/down conversion
SD/SD aspect ratio conversion
SD/HD cross conversion (720p/1080i)
Up/down/cross conversion with both the input and converted formats on HD/HD SDI outputs (both synchronized)
HD cross-conversion with simultaneous down converted SDI output
Closed Caption conversion (CEA-608/CEA-708 standards)
AFD conversion or pass-through (user selectable)

Remote configuration and control

FS units are network ready and support SNMP monitoring and web-based remote control. Units can be connected to any Ethernet network via the built-in Ethernet ports (FS1 - 10/100MB, FS2 - 10/100/1000MB), allowing control and configuration of multiple FS units from any web browser on a connected computer. Configurations can be saved and applied to multiple units, ensuring consistency and quick configuration in large installs.

To integrate smoothly with the existing automation of a facility, both FS1 and FS2 can also receive external GPI commands to trigger a variety of functions, from freezing an input source to switching between saved presets.

FS1 and FS2

With a flexible in and out architecture, FS1 can simultaneously work with SD and HD video - as well as converting between both. FS2 adds the ability to process two independent streams of 3G/HD/SD 10-bit broadcast-quality video and two independent groups of 16-channel AES audio, opening a new world of conversion possibilities.

Built to the exacting standards of all AJA hardware, FS frame synchronizers are backed by our world-class support network, 5-year international warranty and advanced exchange service.
