Chapter 2: Controls and Indicators Controls and Indicators When installing the AJA FS1 chassis, you’ll make media cable connections to a variety of equipment. After installation, the front panel indicators will be useful in monitoring what is happening on the system as well as troubleshooting problems that can occur. Becoming familiar with the FS1 front and rear panels will simplify installation, setup, and operation of the system.
8 Front Panel Control Menu Buttons Remote Button displays remote status (color of button) and brings up the remote control menu Status Button changes the display to the Status Mode and cycles through status and screensaver displays Alphanumeric display has two modes: Status (displays status information) and Control (for viewing and changing functions/ parameters) Select a parameter Change or adjust value of parameter selected Activity Indicator LEDs: • HD In • SD In • HD Out • SD Out • Aux • Proc Amp
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel Status Display There are eight different status displays you may see (the main status display was shown in the previous illustration). The other status displays are the video format status display, sidebar status and sidebar input displays, power/temperature display, close-captioning status, AJA logo, and System Name display. You can page through the status displays by repeatedly pressing the “Status” button under the AJA logo on the front panel.
10 If the temperature threshold is exceeded inside the FS1, the lower line of the power/temperature status display will read “OVERHEATED”. This is an indication that video output may be compromised. Please note, that if the Alarm LED is lit on the front panel, the reason should be evident after examining the video format status screen and the power/temperature status screen. The fourth screen is a close-captioning status screen showing whether Closed Caption data is present on the selected Video Input.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel 11 Holding down both the Adjust (up) and Adjust (down) buttons—at the same time — will set that parameter back to its factory default value. For some parameters, once a parameter is selected the first Adjust button pressed begins the editing. The top Select button then can be used to choose the position (left to right) within the parameter being edited.
12 Proc Amp—Shows that the ProcAmp values are different from the factory nominal values. If lit, the video passing through the FS1 is being altered according to changes in ProcAmp parameter settings (it’s no longer at unity). LAN—This LED will flash once whenever the FS1 is being controlled by a Web Browser input or remote panel. Web Browser actions that do not affect the internal state of the FS1 will not cause the LED to blink.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel Video Incompatibility Detected Alarm Status screen will show Input signal is not compatible with selected Output Format. Alarm Status screen shows: “IN Incompat “ “OUT 525i 59 Reference signal events that the FS1 may detect include: Reference Alarm Event Alarm Status screen will show 6.1 Genlock Source is set to “Reference”, but no Reference signal is detected. Alarm Status screen shows: “IN..... GEN1Ref” “OUT.... REF No Ref” 1.
14 Notes: 1. In the case of 1080pSF/23.98 input—and when 1080i59.94 (or 525) is selected as an output format, the FS1 automatically adds 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate. Similarly, in the case of 1080pSF/24 input, FS1 automatically adds 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate. 2. When passing 24 or 60 framerate video, the standard definition outputs will not output valid video (the FS1 is not a framerate converter).
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Connectors • 8 channels of analog audio in and out via a DB25 TASCAM-style cable (not supplied). • GPI connector: Dual isolated TTL compatible inputs and outputs. Functions of each are selectable in software. • 10/100 LAN RJ45 connector. • SDI video with embedded audio In/Out. There are two input and two output BNC connectors. The outputs are active all the time, although you must specify the output format (and thus whether any conversion takes place).
16 GPI A female DE-9 connector provides connection to external equipment or circuits via an isolated TTL-compatible interface. Appendix B contains a pinout and specifications for the GPI connector. LAN An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100 Ethernet port for connection directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN. The FS1 is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables, automatically detecting which is used.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Connectors Composite NTSC/PAL BNC connectors support composite NTSC or PAL standard definition input and output. Connect an NTSC or PAL composite video cable from a VTR, Camera, or other source to the Composite In BNC. Then connect the Composite Out BNC to a destination composite video device. Composite video signals are A/D (input) and D/A (output) converted (10-bit). Output is affected by 5.3 Aspect Ratio and 1.

Chapter 3: Installation & Configuration Installation Overview The installation and set up of an FS1 is very simple. Plug both AC supply cords into AC mains power, connect the LAN connector to a LAN, WAN or local computer with a web-browser, and then connect source and destination video and audio equipment. WARNING Warning: Do not open the chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Hazardous voltage is present inside the unit, presenting a risk of electric shock or serious personal injury.
20 3. If remote control of the FS1 is desired, ensure you have an Ethernet cable routed to where the FS1 will be placed. It can be connected over a LAN, or attached directly to a locally attached computer. Ensure that the computer (whether communicating over a LAN or directly to the FS1 Ethernet port) has a web browser on it (FireFox or IE 7 recommended).
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Unpacking Unpacking Shipping Box Contents An FS1 chassis is shipped with two AC power cords, a user manual CD, and any late-breaking news bulletins (if applicable). Chassis rackmount brackets are provided as part of the chassis with screws. 1 AC Power Cords (2) AJA FS1 Panel Chassis Box Contents As you unpack the shipping box, carefully examine the contents. Ensure you received everything and that nothing was damaged during shipment.
22 When planning equipment locations and mounting methods, take into account the size of the chassis: • Chassis Dimensions: Height—1 rack units, 1.75” (4.445 cm) Depth—12” (30.48 cm) Width—17.25” (43.8 cm) Network Connection The FS1 can be networked directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over)—or it can be connected to a local area network (LAN). In either case, the FS1 connects via its 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connector.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Network Connection 23 Here are the steps to communicate with the FS1 after choosing the DHCP selection: 1. Use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter 50.2. Note on a piece of paper the DHCP supplied IP address shown. 2. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN as the FS1 and DHCP enabled, type the IP address you noted in step 1 into the browser address bar. You should now see the FS1’s browser status screen.
24 Note: for parameters 50.2, 50.3, and 50.4, you will be setting IP addresses that consist of “octets” separated by a period (i.e., 90.0.180.0). For these parameters, the Select button selects the octet and then the Adjust buttons select the desired number. Pressing Select again advances to the next octet. At the final octet, the address will flash—pressing Select at that point confirms the setting.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Test the FS1 Network Connection with 3. Also on the computer, set the Subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (most PCs default to the proper netmask when the address is set—so you may not have to do anything here). 4. Run a browser on the computer and type “10.65.74.65” (the Default factory IP address). You should now see the FS1’s browser status screen.
26 Note: The webUI (GUI) will keep up with (most) network changes (IP address and netmask) initiated at the GUI. On the other hand, the webUI may not reconnect to the FS1 when network changes are initiated at the FS1 Front Panel. The browser may or may not time out and display "Disconnected". When network changes are initiated in the FS1, the user should manually reestablish the webUI connection by typing in the new address, if the IP address has changed, or clicking the refresh button on the web browser.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — GPI Connections 2. Click the “Browse...” button to select the file you previously downloaded. For example: fs1_ver_2.1.2.54.bin contained in the zipfile downloaded from AJA. 3. When you have selected a valid FS1 image file, click the “Upload” button in the web browser. The file you select will upload to the FS1 and be tested for validity. Incomplete, corrupted, or non-FS1 software files are rejected. 4.
28 • Input 2 and Output 2 share a common isolated ground on pins 7 & 9 (I/O Ground 2). • Pin 5, local chassis ground, may only be used as a reference when isolation is not required. • Both GPI inputs are internally pulled high through a 10K ohm resistor to an isolated 5V supply, so that a relay contact closure or any device sinking at least 0.4 mA to ground will register a logic low. • Both GPI outputs are 5V TTL compatible, sourcing up to 6mA and sinking up to 4mA each.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Cabling the System The analog audio levels listed on the next page are defined in reference to 0 dBFS (where FS = full scale), which is the maximum level that can be represented digitally. Note: test criteria mentioned here involves a 1kHz sine wave.

Chapter 4: Parameter Menus Controlling the FS1 via Its Front Panel Parameter Menus There are three ways to control the FS1: remotely from a web browser, using a remote control panel, and using front panel Select/Adjust buttons and Parameter Menus. This chapter deals with the latter—the most direct and all inclusive way to configure an FS1. In Chapter two we discussed the panel controls overall, so ensure you’ve read and understand that material first.
32 Select Adjust The parameter Select buttons to the right of the display select a parameter to view or modify. Pressing one of the parameter Adjust buttons changes the current parameter’s value to a new one from the FS1’s list of choices—repeating the list if you continue to press Adjust—or adjusting a numerical value up or down. The exact choices displayed will vary depending on the parameter.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 1.2 SDI 2 Out Format 2. If the parameter 1.1 Output Format is set to “Follow Ref”, and the 6.1 Genlock Source is set to “Input”—and the 2.1 Video Input is set to select one of the analog inputs, then the output format will follow the input format rather than the format of the signal on the Ref BNC as might be expected. (This happens because this combination of settings effectively disconnects the Ref BNC.) 3.
34 Notes: 1. Bypass applies to all Analog outputs (Component, Composite, and S-Video). When 1.3 Component Out is set to 'Bypass', Input signal format is 525i/59.94, and 5.2 SD Aspect Ratio is set to anything other than 'Off', the Composite Out and S-Video Outputs will also bypass the Aspect-Ratio-Converter. 2. Setting parameter 1.3 Component Out to “Bypass” causes Composite Output to bypass aspect ratio conversion (parameter 5.3). 3. As in 1.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 2.2 Audio Input 2.2 Audio Input This parameter performs input audio source selection for the FS1. Multiple input sources may be present at all the connectors on the FS1 rear panel, but the active input source routed through the FS1 will be the one selected here. 2.2 Audio Input Description of Choices Parameter Adjustments: Stereo Map Channel Map Embed SDI 1 Embed SDI 2 AES unbal (Default) Analog Select stereo inputs according to Audio Map parameters 2.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 5.6 AFD Out SDI 1 5.6 AFD Out SDI 1 This parameter menu determines whether the FS1 inserts a SMPTE 2016 Active Format Descriptor (AFD) packet into the SDI 1 output video. The inserted AFD code does not affect FS1 up/down/cross conversion, but it may affect downstream video processing if the signal is downconverted. Note: AFD codes are only inserted into HD video outputs. 5.
48 6.1 Genlock Source This parameter selects the source of reference video used to genlock to, either automatically or explicitly. 6.1 Genlock Source Description of Choices Parameter Adjustments: Reference (Default) Input Free run Use the Ref connector as the Genlock source Use the currently selected input as the Genlock source Free run mode (FS1 syncs to its own timebase, not locked to an external source) 6.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 6.4 Analog Output Fine (Horizontal 6.4 Analog Output Fine (Horizontal Timing) Further adjusts the horizontal output timing of the analog output (only) in finer increments than 6.2 (above)—in this case by sub-pixels. Each adjustment of this control, from 0 to 127 adjusts the analog output timing by 1/128th of a pixel. Like 6.2, horizontal output timing is adjusted with reference to the Ref video selected. 6.
50 7.2 Sidebar Edge This parameter selects the width of the Sidebar Keyer when turned on via parameter 7.1. Sidebars with the video selected in 7.1 will appear, on the right and left of the active video input (selected in 2.1). Sidebar Edge can be set to -128 through +128. A value of “0” produces a 4:3 center. Positive values produce wider sidebars (and a narrower center). Conflicts between Output Format (1.1), Sidebar input format, main input (2.1) and its associated format can cause an Alarm condition.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 10.2 Proc Amp Gain 10.2 Proc Amp Gain This parameter adjusts the video gain from black to 1.5 times luma in steps of .01, each time an Adjust button is pressed. 10.2 Proc Amp Gain Description of Choices Parameter Adjustments: Variable Adjustment range increments from zero to 1.5 in .01 steps. Default (unity): 1.0 1 10.3 Proc Amp Black This parameter adjusts the video black level from -20 IRE to +20 IRE in .5 steps, each time an Adjust button is pressed. 10.

Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control Remote FS1 Control Via a Web Browser An optimized web server inside the FS1 allows you to remotely monitor and adjust parameter settings via a network-attached computer running a web-browser. The network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-FS1 cable, or even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN (not generally recommended since anyone on the internet can then access the FS1).
70 General Screen Information All FS1 web screens have certain areas in common. On the left of each screen is a navigational list of the available FS1 screens. Click any of these items to jump to that screen. At the top of each screen you’ll also find a heading showing the connection status and IP address in addition the FS1’s serial number and software version.

Chapter 6: SNMP FS1 Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP is defined as a “simple network management protocol” and was defined as a component of the internet protocol suite specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The FS1 can act as a network element that issues SNMP trap messages signalling a detected alarm condition or other system condition. First, before the FS1 can respond to SNMP requests, parameter 51.1 must be set to enable SNMP communication. 51.
92 The trap message would be sent to server-based external network management systems (NMS). These trap destinations must have a fixed IP address that you have pre-defined (FS1 parameters 51.2 and 51.4 must be set to point to these, if used). 51.2 SNMP Trap Dest 1 Description of Choices Parameter Adjustments: variable 51.4 SNMP Trap Dest 2 Using the adjust buttons, enter the IP address of the destination where SNMP command messages (called “traps”) will be sent.
