Video Frame Synchronization and Signal Preparation

Prepare Every Signal for Production

AJA Frame Synchronizers prepare video and audio signals for production by correcting timing, converting formats and frame rates, managing HDR and SDR color pipelines, routing and delaying audio, and delivering predictable, reliable, signals to downstream equipment like routers and switchers. Delivering AJA’s industry-standard, 10-bit, up, down, cross-conversion technology for the highest quality images, AJA’s Frame Synchronizers are ideal for broadcast facilities, production trucks, flypacks, live venues, post-production, and, with the FS8, hybrid SDI/SMPTE ST 2110 environments. The wide range of conversion possibilities makes them perfect for aligning disparate sources to a common format, integrating legacy signals into high resolution workflows, or handling whatever the production environment might throw at you. 

The FS8 and FS-HDR add real time SDR/PQ/HLG transformations with 3D LUT, Colorfront Engine, BBC HLG LUTs, and NBCU LUTs conversion capabilities on top of a full suite of FS product video and audio processing tools. 

FS products support a wide range of connectivity, with models supporting SMPTE ST 2110, 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, with SDI over fiber I/O options. 

 

High-Quality Conversion

Utilizing AJA's remarkable conversion algorithms, FS products support real-time up, down, cross-conversion from SD, HD, 2K, up to UHD and 4K. Several 4K capable units can be ganged together to reach even higher resolutions, up to 8K! Both Quadrant (Square Division) and 2SI (Two Sample Interleave) output formats are supported. 

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

  • 4K/UHD/2K/HD/SD up, down-conversion
  • SD/SD aspect ratio conversion 
  • HD/HD cross-conversion (720p/1080i) 

 Dedicated 10-bit 4:2:2 hardware processing preserves image fidelity throughout every conversion.

Remote Configuration and Control

FS products are network ready and many support SNMP monitoring and web-based remote control. Units can be connected to your network through the built-in Ethernet port, allowing control and configuration of multiple FS units from any standard 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, many models can also receive external GPI commands to trigger a variety of functions. 

The FS8 can be controlled via its all-new, easy-to-use, Web UI and via the OpenAPI implementation of its REST API.
