The FS1-X represents the next evolution in frame synchronisation and image conversion. In its compact 1U chassis, the FS1-X integrates an impressive range of video and audio connectivity and processing, including 56 and 64-channel MADI audio over coaxial or fibre optic cable. Thanks to its flexible architecture, the FS1-X uses a high-quality motion-adaptive linear frame rate converter for smooth conversion across a wide range of frame rates, whether for broadcast, production or live events.
Exceptional Frame Rate Conversion
The synchronisation and harmonisation of disparate video and audio formats are essential aspects of any broadcast, mobile or post-production environment. With the motion-adaptive frame rate converter (FRC) option factory-installed, the FS1-X creates exceptionally high-quality conversions between different frame rate families for virtually unlimited support of international standards.
Massive Audio Flexibility
The rise of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number of audio channels to manage in a production, as well as the need to create stereo mixes from 5.1 and 7.1 sources. The MADI standard provides a convenient means of transporting a large number of audio channels over a single cable, simplifying cabling requirements for broadcasters, outside broadcast trucks and production. The FS1-X supports 56 and 64-channel MADI inputs and outputs over fibre optic and coaxial cable. An internal 224x224 audio matrix allows complete routing of MADI, mixes and all audio from SDI, fibre optic, AES and analogue sources, offering exceptional audio processing capability in a single device.
High-Quality Conversion
AJA's hardware conversion technology ensures the highest image quality for your productions.
Key conversion features include:
- SD/HD up/down conversion
- SD/SD aspect ratio conversion
- HD/HD cross conversion (720p/1080i)
- Up, down, cross conversion with input and converted formats on SD/HD SDI outputs (both synchronised)
- HD cross conversion with simultaneous down-converted SDI output
- Automatic reverse telecine detection and removal
- Closed caption conversion (CEA-608/CEA-708 standards)
- AFD conversion or pass-through (user selectable)
Side Keying
The FS1-X features a unique keying configuration, enabling incoming signals to be combined in powerful ways. A common example is side keying, where incoming video is up-converted from SD to HD, but rather than stretching the 4:3 aspect ratio to fit a 16:9 frame, a second signal is used to fill the sides of the 16:9 frame. This allows the channel's visual identity or other imagery to be placed in that area rather than having black bars on each side. The FS1-X's robust AFD capabilities ensure that the aspect ratio of the output signal is correctly identified for downstream devices.
Automation
Many FS1-X functions can be triggered by external GPIs, such as freezing an input or switching between presets, enabling easy integration into existing systems for smooth and precise automation.
Extensive Connectivity
The FS1-X features comprehensive I/O connectivity for conversion between the widest range of analogue and digital signals. Perfect for use in all broadcast and post-production environments, it features 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, HDMI and optional fibre optic SDI I/O, comprehensive multi-channel audio connections supporting the latest standards, and I/O for analogue video equipment including HD and SD components.
Remote Configuration and Control
FS units are network-ready and support SNMP monitoring and web-based remote control. Units can be connected to any Ethernet network via the built-in 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, enabling control and configuration of multiple FS units from any web browser on a connected computer. Configurations can be saved and applied to multiple units, ensuring consistency and rapid configuration in large installations.
Architecture
The FS1-X is designed to maximise flexibility whilst providing a reliable solution built to meet the demands of broadcast engineering. Two redundant power supplies ensure that the FS1-X remains operational even if one power supply fails.
