AJA OG-FS-Mini - Frame Synchronizer with Dashboard Support
Broadcast frame synchronizer in openGear format. Supports non-synchronous 3G-SDI, HD and SD. Affordable Up-Down-Cross Conversion.
Broadcast quality frame synchronizer in openGear format, which combines the proven reliability of AJA's FS synchronization technology on an openGear card. It supports frame synchronization of 3G-SDI, HD and SD non-synchronous video signals at an affordable price.
The AJA OG-FS-Mini allows users to synchronize and convert a wide range of video formats to their internal standard, with a 3G-SDI input and output, HDMI output and two 3-pin terminal block connectors for balanced analog audio outputs. The OG-FS-Mini also provides high quality up-conversion, down-conversion and cross-conversion.
It is designed to be used in high density 2RU openGear chassis, including AJA's OG-X-FR chassis. DashBoard software is supported on Windows®, macOS® and Linux offering remote control and monitoring of the openGear architecture and providing convenient, industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control options via a PC or local network.

Up-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- 4x3 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars
- 14x9 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black side bars
- Full Screen: results in a 4x3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16x9 screen
- Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
- Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16x9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
- Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
- 14x9: image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved, black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped
- Auto AFD: automatically selects the best down-convert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code
- Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
Cross-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- 1080i to 720p
- 720p to 1080i
- 720p to 1080PsF
Aspect Ratio Converstion for
SD to SD
- Letterbox: transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image
- H Crop: produces a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
- SD Pillarbox: produces 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: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
- 14x9: anamorphic to 14x9 conversion
