The FS2 can simultaneously work with two independent streams of
3G/HD/SD 10-bit Broadcast quality video and two independent groups of 16
channel AES audio. Each FS2 video channel supports virtually any input
or output: analog component or composite, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, Dual-Link and
HDMI I/O. You can use the FS2 as two separate Frame Synchronizers/Format
Converters, or combine the channels in a variety of powerful ways—for
example HD sidebar keying where both the video and background graphics
are upconverted and combined. To expand your possibilities further, each
channel possesses its own still-store, keyer, and video proc amp/color
corrector. The FS2 can up- or down-convert between SD and HD, and
cross-convert between HD formats—including 3G 1080p50/60 formats.
Additionally, the FS2 has full input and output signal routing, allowing
any I/O port to be assigned to either processing channel.
For audio, the FS2 has two audio processors—each processor
supporting 16-channel AES/EBU digital audio, 16 channel embedded audio,
and 8-channel balanced analog audio with a variety of controls for
maximum flexibility.
The FS2 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. The FS2 is also network ready,
supporting SNMP monitoring and web-based remote control. A 3rd-party
Remote Control Panel is available (contact your AJA dealer—or AJA
directly, for more information).
Options available on the FS2 include Dolby® E Encoding, Dolby® E Decoding, and 3G/HD/SD Optical Fiber I/O.
With support of all broadcast video formats the FS2 makes
matching up disparate video and audio systems simple —one converter box
does it all. The FS2 is ideally suited for broadcast facilities,
production trucks and other rapidly changing environments.
