FS4 is your concrete solution for conversions of any resolution, manufactured to AJA's high quality and reliability standards. 4K/UltraHD broadcasting, processing and synchronisation are quickly becoming the new norm, and FS4 leads you there with a multitude of digital video connectivity, including Quad 1.5G, Dual 3G, Quad 3G on 3G-SDI and 12Gb/6Gb via optional 12G-SDI BNC and 12G-SDI LC Fiber SFP modules. In single-channel mode, FS4 can convert your HD or SD content to 4K/UltraHD and vice versa, with a wide range of audio channels on Fiber, 3G-SDI, AES, and MADI for an incredible 272 x 208 audio matrix of possibilities. Welcome to four-channel mode. In four-channel mode, FS4 offers incredibly powerful multi-channel conversion with up to 4 channels of simultaneous processing for 2K/HD and SD signals. A new approach requires a new layout and the FS4 front panel has been redesigned to simplify and speed up your access to the product's many features. The panel has also been designed to offer simple operation in single-channel or four-channel mode. In four-channel mode, all four VIDx buttons under Channel Select are lit. In single-channel mode, only VID1 is lit and VID2-4 are off. Multi-channel density in a 1RU chassis. Space, energy and power preserved.

Four Channel Mode
In four-channel mode, FS4 offers incredibly powerful multi-channel conversion with up to 4 channels of simultaneous processing for 2K/HD and SD signals. Powerful processing allows for region of interest (ROI) scaling, colour correction, proc amp controls, motion-adaptive deinterlacing and much more.

New Approach, New Interface
A new approach requires a new layout and the FS4 front panel has been redesigned to simplify and speed up your access to the product's many features. The panel has also been designed to offer simple operation in single-channel or four-channel mode. In four-channel mode, all four VIDx buttons under Channel Select are lit. In single-channel mode, only VID1 is lit and VID2-4 are off.
Up, Down and Cross Conversion
The transition to 4K is never an instant change. Existing signals and archive material must be integrated into the 4K environment while 4K sources must be down-converted for current 2K/HD workflows.
Using AJA's remarkable conversion algorithms, FS4 supports up, down and cross conversion of SD, HD or 2K on 12G/6G/3G-SDI video to 4K or UltraHD video and vice versa. Quadrant (Square Division) and 2SI (Two Sample Interleave) output formats are supported.
AJA's powerful hardware conversion technology ensures the highest image quality for your productions. Key conversion features include:
- 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD up/down conversion
- SD/SD aspect ratio conversion
- HD/HD cross conversion (720p/1080i)
All in beautiful 10-bit with dedicated hardware.
Incredible Digital Connectivity
Video and audio deserve the connectivity and bandwidth needed to meet your project requirements.
FS4 uses standard BNCs as well as optional SFP inputs and outputs to easily integrate into a variety of workflows and installations with support for SDI workflows up to 12G.
FS4 has BNC and Fiber inputs and outputs to accept SDI signals in 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD resolution in single-channel mode. In four-channel mode, 2K/HD/SD inputs can be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without requiring external signal distribution.
A loop-through reference input allows FS4 to lock to your house reference signal for rock-solid stability.
Digital audio can be de-embedded and embedded between SDI, MADI and AES for an incredible number of routing possibilities.
12G/6G BNC and Fiber SFP Options
FS4's SFP options include 12G/6G-SDI HD-BNC and Fiber I/O options, allowing for great SDI flexibility and fiber cable lengths up to 10 kilometers that can be connected directly to the FS4 without requiring separate fiber to SDI conversion.
Supported single and dual-channel fiber connectors:
- Single-channel LC connector modules
- Single-channel SC connector modules
- Dual-channel LC connector modules
The development of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number of audio channels to manage in a production. The MADI standard offers a convenient way to transport a large number of audio channels along a single cable, simplifying cabling requirements for broadcasters, mobile trucks and production. FS4 supports MADI input and output in fiber and coaxial. An internal 277 x 208 mono audio matrix allows you to route 1 to 1 or 1 to many with full routing of MADI, mixes and all audio from SDI, fiber and AES sources for incredible audio processing capability in a single box.
Closed Caption Conversion
FS4 supports closed captions and closed caption conversion between 2K/HD/SD and 4K/UltraHD formats - including full conversion of CEA-608 and CEA-708 standards. FS4 can preserve closed captions even when converting between formats, eliminating the need to re-insert closed captions after conversion.
Active Format Description
Automatically sets Active Format Description information to match the converted signal. This means that AFD information does not need to be inserted after conversion and provides accurate information for devices that understand AFD.
Remote Configuration and Control
FS4 is network-ready and supports SNMP monitoring and remote control via web. Units can be connected to any Ethernet network via the built-in 10/100/1000MB Ethernet port, allowing 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 setup in large installations.
To integrate seamlessly with an installation's existing automation, FS4 can also receive external GPI commands to trigger various functions.
