AJA FS1 - Universal HD/SD Audio/Video Frame Sync/Converter, 1RU

AJA FS1

The AJA FS1 is a frame synchronizer that is both powerful and flexible. This high quality converter helps you work with mismatched signal types to establish a consistent format for post production or broadcast. This powerful piece of tech is encased in a 1RU sized unit making it perfect to rack with the rest of your gear making it easy to transport and store.

Features

Flexible input, flexible output
Featuring a flexible input, output, and control architecture, the FS1 Universal HD/SD Audio/ Video Frame Synchronizer and Converter can simultaneously work with both HD and SD video all in full 10-bit broadcast quality video and 24-bit audio.

Supporting virtually any input or output, analog or digital, HD or SD, FS1 can up or down-convert between SD and HD, and provide simultaneous HD and SD outputs. Up, down, cross-conversion between HD formats are also supported, with simultaneous output of both formats.

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

SD/SD aspect ratio conversion
HD/HD cross-conversion (720p/1080i)
Up/down/cross-conversion with both the input and converted formats on SD/HD SDI outputs (both synchronised)
HD cross-conversion with simultaneous down-converted SDI output

Digital and analog
I/O flexibility
FS1 is loaded with comprehensive I/O that lets it handle the widest range of analog and digital signals - and convert between them.

Perfect for use in broadcast and post production environments, FS1 features Dual HD/SD-SDI inputs and outputs, comprehensive multi-channel audio connections and I/O for analog video equipment, including HD and SD component.
