AJA FS2 - Dual Channel Universal 3G/HD/SD Audio/Video Frame Sync/Converter, 1RU

AJA FS2

The AJA FS2 is a dual-channel conversion and frame synchronizing 1RU unit that can work as two separate processors or combine both processors together giving you maximum flexibility for your work flow. The FS2 can convert up or down between 3G HD, SD and HD (1080p50/60), and cross-convert between HD formats such as 3G HD. Additionally, FS2 has full input and output signal routing, allowing any I/O port to be assigned to either processing channel.

For audio the FS2 has two audio processors, each supporting 16-Channel AES/EBU digital audio, 16-Channel embedded audio, and 8-Channel balanced analog audio with a variety of controls for maximum flexibility. The output of each processor can be embedded in its respective video processor output (SDI, fiber, or HDMI), or sent to the AES or balanced outputs. For 3G and Dual Link inputs, the audio processors can have access to all 32 channels.

• Up-Conversion
• Hardware: 10-bit
• Anamorphic: fullscreen
• Pillarbox 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars
• Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
• Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
• Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change
• Down-Conversion
• Hardware: 10-bit
• Anamorphic: fullscreen
• Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
• Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
• Cross-Conversion
• Hardware 10-bit
• 1080i to 720p
• 720p to 1080i
• 720p to 1080PsF
• SD to SD Aspect Ratio Conversion
• Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image
• H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
• SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
• V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
