AJA FS2 Dual Channel SD/HD 3G-SDI Synchronizer/Converter

AJA’s FS2 offers the full power of their hardware conversion expertise in a compact 1RU rack Frame Sync unit that results in unrivaled flexibility. Delivering AJA’s industry standard up, down, cross-conversion technology for the highest quality images, FS2 with its dual-channel conversion and frame synchronizing in a slim 1RU space, can do the work of two separate devices or combine both processors together for maximum flexibility. That makes the FS2 ideal for high density applications such as mobile trucks and packed machine rooms, replacing multiple hardware units in a single rack space.

Featuring a flexible, “anything-in, anything-out” architecture, the dual-processor FS2 Universal Video/Audio Frame Synchronizer and Format Converter simultaneously works with two independent channels of 10-bit broadcast quality video and two independent groups of 16-channel audio. The FS2 can be used as two separate Frame Synchronizers/Format Converters, or the two channels can be combined in many powerful ways—for example, sidebar keying where both the video and background graphics can be upconverted and combined.

The FS2 supports analog and digital I/O, with full input and output crosspoint matrices, allowing any I/O port to be assigned to either processor. With support of all broadcast video formats, the FS2 makes matching up disparate video and audio systems simple—one converter box does it all.
