AJA FS4 1RU 4K/UltraHD/HD/SD Frame Sync and Converter
AJA FS4 is a 4-channel 2K/HD/SD or 1-channel 4K/UltraHD frame synchronizer and up, down, cross-converter, and so much more. This combination frame synchronizer and converter offers incredible versatility and connectivity in a sleek 1RU frame for all your 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD/SD conversion needs. FS4 offers a wide range of connectivity for both video and audio, including optional SFPs for single-link 12G-SDI connectivity. For HDR workflows, the FS4 supports automatic or configurable HDR metadata generation for the SDI output VPID and HDMI output HDR Infoframe.
In Four Channel Mode, FS4 can do the work of four separate devices in 2K/HD/SD or combine all processors and channels for maximum flexibility for 4K/UltraHD productivity in Single Channel Mode.
Configurable Frame Delay
As sports fans have come to expect a more dynamic, interactive experience, augmented reality (AR) is quickly becoming a common and valuable production asset, but one that requires additional video processing time. For seamless integration of AR into live productions, larger frame buffering capacities are required to delay other sources.
FS4 offers the largest configurable frame delay in its class of up to 20 frames per channel, ensuring all sources stay on time.
Different Modes for Different Needs
FS4 offers various modes of operation for comprehensive conversion and signal processing.
Single Channel Mode provides a full suite of 4K/UltraHD processing and up, down, and cross-conversion to and from 2K, HD, or SD.
Enhanced Single Channel Mode provides simultaneous 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD outputs where the 2K/HD monitor output can have its own unique down-conversion applied.
Four-Channel Mode offers 4x 2K/HD/SD channels of simultaneous conversion and processing, all within an elegant 1RU chassis for multi-channel high-density delivery.
Incredible Digital Connectivity
Video and Audio deserve the connectivity and bandwidth required to meet the demands of your projects.
FS4 utilizes standard BNC as well as optional SFP inputs and outputs to integrate easily into a variety of workflows and facilities with support for SDI workflows all the way up to 12G.
AJA FS4 has Coax and Fiber* inputs and outputs to accept 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD resolution signals in Single Channel Mode. In Four Channel Mode 2K/HD/SD inputs can be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without the need for any external signal distribution.
A looping Reference Input allows the FS4 to be locked to your house reference signal for rock-solid stability.
Digital Audio can be disembedded and embedded between SDI, MADI, and AES for an incredible array of routing possibilities.
Up, Down, Cross-Conversion
Moving to 4K is never an instant change. Legacy signals and archival material need to be integrated into the 4K environment, while 4K/UltraHD sources need to be down-converted for current 2K/HD pipelines.
Utilizing AJA’s remarkable conversion algorithms, AJA FS4 supports up, down, and cross-conversion from 2K/HD/SD to 4K or UltraHD. Both Square Division (SQD) and Two Sample Interleave (2SI) pixel mapping 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 done in beautiful 10-bit with dedicated hardware.
12G/6G HD-BNC and Fiber SFP Options
FS4’s SFP options include both 12G/6G-SDI HD-BNC and LC Fiber I/O options, including single and dual channel Single Mode options and Multi-Mode options, allowing great SDI flexibility and fiber cable runs of up to 10 kilometers to be connected directly to the FS4 without the need for separate fiber to SDI conversion. Also available are 3G-SDI Fiber LC and SC SFP options.
Massive Audio Flexibility
The growth of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number of audio channels that must be managed in 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. FS4 supports both fiber and coax MADI input and output. An internal 277 x 208 mono audio matrix allows you to route 1 to 1, or 1 to many, with the full routing of MADI, mixdowns, and all audio coming from SDI, fiber, and AES sources for an incredible amount of audio processing capability in a single box.
FS4 also offers high-quality Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) on all audio inputs, which can be bypassed for non-PCM audio.
Closed Captioning Conversion
FS4 supports Closed Captioning and the conversion of Closed Captioning between 2K/HD/SD and 4K/UltraHD formats – including full conversion of CEA-608 and CEA-708 standards. FS4 can preserve Closed Captioning even when converting between formats, removing the need to reinsert Closed Captioning after conversion.
Active Format Description
Automatically sets Active Format Description information to match the converted signal. This means AFD information does not have 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 web-based remote control. Units can be connected to an Ethernet network via the built-in 10/100/1000MB Ethernet port, allowing control and configuration of multiple FS units from a web browser on a connected computer. Configurations can be saved and applied to multiple units, ensuring consistency and quick configuration in large installs.
