Chapter 1: Introduction Overview Matching up and synchronizing disparate video and audio formats is a critical part of any broadcast, mobile or post-production environment. AJA’s FS1-X is the next evolution in frame synchronization and conversion. Within its compact 1RU chassis, FS1-X integrates an amazing array of video and audio connectivity and processing.
PAGE 12
• Closed captioning support, featuring true conversion between EIA 608 and 708 (SD and HD) CC formats. • Active Format Description (AFD) support. • Dual 3G/HD/SD SDI I/O with embedded audio. • Dual 3G/HD/SD Single-Mode Optical Fiber I/O (optional). • HDMI I/O. • Component/Composite analog HD/SD video I/O, 12-bit. • Looping reference input with flexible genlock. • Film cadence removal (3:2 and 2:3:3:2) from an i59.94 input to a p/PsF23.98 output.
PAGE 13
FS1-X Control FS1-X operation can be monitored and changed in a number of ways. Feature sets in each of the control methods vary, although the front panel and web browser interfaces offer many of the same features. Front Panel Control The FS1-X front panel offers the most direct control, ideal for use in machine rooms or wherever quick changes and status checks must be made. The buttons and knobs control menus in the display, allowing you to fully configure the system according to your purposes.
PAGE 14
Fiber I/O The FS1-X supports optional AJA Optical Fiber I/O modules as follows: • Single Input, LC connector • Single Input SC connector • Single Output LC connector • Single Output SC connector • Dual Input LC connectors • Dual Output LC connectors FS1-X's Fiber I/O supports the 3G/HD/SD SDI protocol. Only AJA modules are supported; use of other manufacturers' modules is not supported and may void the warranty.

Video Processors Video Processor 1 performs format conversion, frame synchronization, signal processing, and keying operations. The factory installed Frame Rate Converter option resides in Video Processor 1. Video Processor 2 offers frame synchronization and the ability to feed video to the first Video Processor for sidebar keying. Each video processor has access to any video input and output using the Crosspoint Matrices. Up, down, or cross conversion is done with very high quality scalers.
PAGE 16
It is also recommended to use an interlaced video reference when the output signal is interlaced, to ensure downstream equipment can process the interlaced video properly. Progressive video output can safely use either an interlaced or progressive reference signal. 1 Channel vs. 2 Channel FS1-X Operation The FS1-X has two modes of operation: 1 Channel mode and 2 Channel mode. 1 Channel mode is available when the FRC option is present and enabled.
PAGE 17
As another example, Output Format Mapping stores the Output Format selected for any of the frame rates. That Mapped Output Format is recalled if the frame rate selection is changed. Presets can also be used to restore the FS1-X to a previous state. Many parameters can be individually reset to factory values using individual menus, or the entire FS1-X can be reset to defaults (with the PRESET, Factory Preset menu). In This Manual Chapter 1: Introduction provides an overview and a list of box contents.

Chapter 3: Installation & Configuration Installation Overview The installation and set up of an FS1-X is very simple. Plug both AC supply cords into AC mains power (separate branch circuits for redundancy), 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. NOTE: The AJA FS1-X should be plugged into 3-wire 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz power (autosensing) before you make connections to other equipment.
PAGE 27
Unpacking Shipping Box Contents An FS1-X chassis is shipped with two AC power cords, a user manual CD, and any latebreaking news bulletins (if applicable). Chassis rackmount brackets are provided as part of the chassis with screws. Figure 5. Shipping Box Contents Installation and Operation Manual (PDF file on CD) AC Power Cords (2) AJA FS1-X Panel Chassis As you unpack the shipping box, carefully examine the contents. Ensure you received everything and that nothing was damaged during shipment.
PAGE 28
Caution! Only AJA fiber optic I/O option modules may be inserted into the FS1-X Fiber slots. DO NOT USE fiber modules from other manufacturers; they will damage the FS1-X connectors and circuits. Install the optional fiber I/O modules by inserting them into the rectangular holes marked Fiber on the back panel with the electrical connectors facing downward. Press gently but firmly until the modules seat in the inside connectors.
PAGE 29
Networking You can network the FS1-X directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over), or connect it to a local area network (LAN). In either case, the FS1-X connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet connector. A LAN is a shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via a hub or digital switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by software or hardware routers.

Mac Ping Procedure 1. Find the Utilities Folder inside of the Applications Folder. 2. Locate the “Terminal” utility application and double-click it. 3. On the FS1-X, select the CONFIG button and go to parameter menu 2.2 to read the IP address. 4. At the Mac terminal prompt, enter ping and the IP address noted in step 3. For example: ping 192.168.0.2 5. If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and how long it took. For example: 64 bytes from 192.168.0.
PAGE 34
Once you’re at the update page, you can select FS1-X software files to download to your Mac or PC for upgrading your local FS1-X machine. Unpack the Software FS1-X software update files are “ZIP” files that you can open with a number of standard and third party file compression applications. The software image that you’ll install on the FS1-X is a file with a name like FS1-X_ver_1.0.0.0.bin or similar.
PAGE 35
If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1-X will boot the older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. This happens because the FS1-X has been designed with a safety feature where an internal “safe” copy of the previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails. System Cabling System Video/Audio Cable Connections When installing your system, you’ll make video and audio input/output connections.
PAGE 36
The FS1-X offers four settings shown in the following table. The analog audio levels listed in the table are defined in reference to 0 dBFS (where FS = full scale), which is the maximum level that can be represented digitally. Note that the test method for these levels uses a 1kHz sine wave. Table 5.

This workflow confirms the FS1-X upconverts incoming video with matting. HD to Letterbox SD over Video The following workflow recalls the FS1-X to factory preset, downconverts a 1080i SDI input to 525i SDI letterbox, keys the letterbox over a second 525i SDI video input, and displays the result on the FS1-X Composite video output. This processing requires 2 Channel mode. Setup • Connect a10801i59.94 HD SDI signal to the SDI1 input on the rear of the FS1-X.
PAGE 41
Setup • Ensure the FRC is installed. The front panel FRC PRES LED must be lighted blue. The FS1-X Status web page FRC Option setting must read Present. The web page may also report Disabled, which is the FRC’s normal state when it is not actively converting video. • Ensure the FS1-X is using a valid reference. For this example, if an external reference signal is used for genlock it must be 50 Hz to match the frame rate converted output. Alternatively the FS1-X can be set to Free Run. • Connect a10801i59.

2.1 IP Config This parameter determines the type of TCP/IP network configuration used by the FS1-X. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value. DHCP (default) Static Addr 2.2 IP Address Select automatic IP address assignment from the LAN DHCP server. If the FS1-X cannot find a DHCP server, it fails over to the static IP address. Assign a static IP address manually (using the following parameter menus). The factory default static IP address: 192.168.0.
PAGE 55
3 MAC Address (view only) Selecting this parameter allows you to view the MAC address. The MAC address is a unique value associated with the FS1-X’s internal network adapter. MAC addresses are also known as hardware addresses or physical addresses. MAC addresses uniquely identify an Ethernet adapter on a LAN. MAC address format: MM:MM:MM:SS:SS:SS The value is 12-digit hexadecimal, where the first half identifies the manufacturer and the second half identifies the unique serial number.
PAGE 56
7 Reference Alarm This parameter controls how the FS1-X responds when one of the Video Processors has a format that is incompatible with the Reference video signal. When set to NORMAL, the alarm triggers if the Reference signal is not detected or is incompatible with the processor format. If you want the FS1-X Reference alarm to trigger only on hardware failures, you can suppress the alarm. Changes to this setting are automatically saved.
PAGE 57
PRESET Menu Group The PRESET Menu Group provides the means of saving, editing the names of, and loading FS1-X presets. A preset is a set of all System, Video, Audio, and most Config parameters as they were set at the time the preset was stored. Caution! When you recall a Preset Configuration, the recalled preset immediately replaces the system’s existing configuration. All previous settings are lost unless you have previously stored them in another preset configuration or an exported file.

Selecting Dual Link as the Video Input for Video Processor 1 or 2 will allocate both SDI Inputs for Dual Link use. Both Processors can use the Dual Link Input, or if only one Processor is using it, the other Processor is free to select another input. The Fiber inputs operate the same way. 1.2 Video 2 Input Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
PAGE 65
Timing and Delay These parameters adjust Video Processor horizontal and vertical output timing in reference to the genlock source already selected, and permits adding up to 6 full frames of output delay. NOTE: Output Timing Memory Output Timing Ranges Unlike most knob-adjustable parameters, on the front panel menu this parameter automatically wraps around from the maximum value to 0 (and vice versa). Independent horizontal and vertical timing values are kept for all available output formats.
PAGE 66
5.2 Video 1 Output When adjusting the vertical timing (V), this parameter specifies a number of lines to Timing V offset, moving the screen up to a half a frame up or down. Variable Adjustment range increments from half a frame up to a half a frame down in single line increments. The maximum varies, depending on the format already chosen. Default: 0 5.3 Video 1 Frame This parameter adjusts Video Processor output timing.
PAGE 67
7 Upconvert Mode This parameter selects the type of upconversion performed by the Video Processor. This parameter is in effect only when the input is SD (525i or 625i) and the selected output format is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p), or when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the output is 2K (2048 x 1080). See the following Upconvert Illustrations for examples. 4x3 Pillar (default) 14x9 Pillar Full Screen LB to Full Wide Zoom Results in 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.

Default: 1.0 Color Corrector (RGB) 13.0 Color Corrector This parameter turns the RGB Color Corrector On and Off. When it is On, you can set (RGB) additional parameters to control RGB video Gain, Black Level, and Gamma.
PAGE 73
When Hide Inactive is on, the Custom Size/Position controls are only displayed when Custom Size/Pos is On. When Custom Size/Pos is Off, modified parameters are skipped in the menu system, and the UFC hardware is programmed for unity. This menu is also not displayed when Active Format Description (AFD) is in control of the Conversion Mode. While downconverting, with Downconvert Mode set to Auto AFD, any values assigned for Custom Size/Pos parameters are ignored, and the menus are hidden.
PAGE 74
Region of Interest (ROI) NOTE: The Region of Interest parameters select a portion of the input picture that will be used for scaling and/or positioning. The selected area can then be scaled to a standard pillarbox or letterbox size and shape (On Square), or it can be set to a full screen input image (On Full). On Full may cause image distortion if it is used to expand an odd-shaped region of interest to full screen.
PAGE 75
16.0 Video Legalizer This parameter determines the Video Legalizer mode. When set to Off, the Video Legalizer is not enabled, and the following clip controls are not active. In YUV mode, the White Clip, Black Clip, and Chroma Clip controls are enabled and clip any luma/chroma that exceed the set limits. In RGB mode only the White Clip and Black Clip controls are active and limit the R, G, and B values to those settings.
PAGE 76
17.1 AFD Out These determines whether the Video Processor inserts an ADF packet into the output video. OFF (default) The FS1-X does not insert an AFD code into the output. If the video input has a AFD code and the FS1-X is not up/down/cross-converting it, the input AFD code will be passed through to the output. Auto If the FS1-X is not Upconverting or Downconverting the input video, the input AFD code is passed through. If there is no AFD code on the input video, a “Full Frame” (8) code is inserted.
PAGE 77
17.3 Downcvt AFD Dflt This parameter selects how the Video Processor will operate when parameter 7 Downconvert Mode has been set to Auto AFD and no AFD codes are detected at the selected input source (that is, this menu selects the default Downconversion to use when AFD is absent). This parameter is in effect only when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).
PAGE 78
The FS1-X Downconverters automatically intercept and reformat the SD caption data in the incoming CEA-708 VANC packets, and output it on line 21 of the standard definition outputs. Input Scan and PSF This parameter determines how the Deinterlacer handles interlaced vs. PsF inputs. Normally, this control will only be used to indicate that a 1080PsF25 input is PsF and not interlaced.
PAGE 79
Xlator is On. If the Caption Translator is Off, the HD output will not contain captioning. This is the setting to use if your SD input video sometimes contains captions and other times does not, or if you are uncertain which setting to use.I Blank (default) In Upconvert or SD Aspect Ratio Convert modes, this setting copies caption data and blanks 525i input video Line 21 caption data before conversion, and may or may not include that data (see above).
PAGE 80
2:3:2:3 field output pattern. 3:2 pulldown outputs four fields of original input, then one duplicate field, then four more original fields, and then another duplicate field. This provides the smoothest motion, but results in two of the five video output frames being “dirty”, having fields from different original frames. Another commonly used film cadence is 2:3:3:2, which has only one “dirty” frame but results in motion that is slightly less smooth.
