Matching up and synchronizing disparate video and audio formats is
a critical part of any broadcast, mobile or postproduction environment.
Within its compact 1RU chassis, FS1-X integrates an amazing array
of video and audio connectivity and processing. Featuring a flexible
architecture, FS1-X simultaneously works with 3G-SDI 10-bit broadcast
quality video and incorporates embedded audio, AES, MADI,
and analog audio.
Utilizing AJA’s remarkable conversion algorithms, FS1-X supports up,
down and cross-conversion between SD and HD signals for the highest
quality output possible. Additionally, the factory installed motion
adaptive Frame Rate Converter (FRC) option enables high quality
conversions between different frame rate families for virtually unlimited
international standards support.
The growth of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number of audio
channels that must be managed in a production. The MADI standard
provides a convenient way to transport huge numbers of audio channels
along a single cable, simplifying the cabling demands for broadcasters,
mobile trucks and production. FS1-X supports both fiber and coax
64-Channel MADI input and output. An internal 224 x 224 audio matrix
allows full routing of MADI and all audio coming from SDI, fiber, AES and
analog sources for an incredible amount of audio processing capability
in a single box.
FS1-X features a unique keyer configuration, allowing incoming signals
to be combined in powerful ways. A common example is sidebar keying,
where incoming video is converted from SD to HD but rather than
stretching the 4:3 aspect ratio to fit in a 16:9 frame, a second signal is
used to fill the sides of the 16:9 frame. This allows channel identification
or other imagery to be placed in that area rather than having black
bars on either side. The robust AFD features of FS1-X ensure that the
aspect ratio of the outgoing signal is properly identified for downstream
devices.
FS1-X supports Closed Captioning and the conversion of Closed
Captioning between SD and HD formats - including full conversion
between CEA-608 and CEA-708 caption standards.
