Featuring a flexible, “anything-in, anything-out” architecture, the dual-processor FS2 Universal Video/Audio Frame Synchronizer and Format Converter simultaneously works with two independent channels of 10-bit broadcast quality video and two independent groups of 16-channel audio.

The FS2 can be used as two separate Frame Synchronizers/Format Converters, or the two channels can be combined in many powerful ways, for example, sidebar keying where both the video and background graphics can be upconverted and combined.

The FS2 supports analog and digital I/O, with full input and output crosspoint matrices, allowing any I/O port to be assigned to either processor. 
 

Features

  • The FS2 handles a wide variety of video formats.
  • Dual video format converters, each featuring SD/HD (up/down), SD-to-SD (aspect ratio), and HD-to-HD (720/1080 cross) conversions.
  • Dual video processors supporting proc amp and color correction.
  • Dual frame synchronizers.
  • Dual video/key framestores downloadable from the local area network.
  • User-specified custom format conversion and scaling with variable crop, size, aspect, position, and Region of Interest parameters.
  • Dual flexible keyers for video/key overlays or sidebar keying from the two video processors, the two internal video/key framestores, or internal matte generators.
  • Closed captioning support, featuring true conversion between EIA 608 and 708 (SD and HD) CC formats.
  • Active Format Description (AFD) support.
  • Scan convert computer formats via a DVI-to-HDMI cable
  • Dual 3G/HD/SD SDI I/O with embedded audio.
  • Dual 3G/HD/SD Optical Fiber I/O (optional).FS2 v2.1r1 11 www.aja.com
  • HDMI I/O supporting 3D HDMI output.
  • Component/Composite analog HD/SD video I/O, 12-bit.
  • Looping reference input with flexible genlock.


3G Support

The FS2 supports several types of 3G video (and some associated embedded audio):

  • 1080p59.94/1080p50 in both SMPTE level A or level B
  • Muxed 3G Video: two separate 720p/1080i video signals muxed into one 3G level B signal
  • Dual-Link Video in the form of 1080p59.94/1080p50 video on two 1.5G SDI cables.

In the case of Dual Link Video, the FS2 input processing can demux the two signals and send them (each with their associated 16-channel audio) to the two processors. For output, the FS2 can mux together the two video signals (and their audio) from the two processors into a Dual Stream 3G video output.

Control of 3G functionality can be set to automatic (using ANC data format ID), or with full manual control via the user interface.


Audio Features

  • Dual audio processors, each supporting 16-channel audio with full channel mapping.
  • 16-channel AES/EBU, 8-channel balanced analog I/O.
  • 16-channel embedded audio I/O with full mapping.
  • AFV (audio follows video) support.


Other Features

  • Built-in front panel control via scrolling alphanumeric and graphical menu.
  • Front panel LED status indicators for at-a-glance system monitoring.
  • Linux operating system supporting full network compatibility, including Web-based remote control over 10/100/1000 Ethernet via an internal web server.
  • Two fully redundant power supplies standard.
  • Five-year international warranty with unlimited technical support.

Notes: 

  • In the case of 1080PsF 23.98 input - and when 1080i 59.94 (or 525i) is selected as an output format, the FS2 automatically does 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate. Similarly, in the case of 1080pSF/24 input, FS2 automatically does 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate. 
  • When passing 24 or 60 frame rate video, output is high definition.

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

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
