FS1 operation can be monitored and changed in a number of ways:

•

Front panel control

•

Remote web browser via Ethernet

•

VTECS protocol via Ethernet

SNMP monitoring (Simple Network Management Protocol)

•

Feature sets in each of the control methods vary, although the front panel and web browser interfaces offer many of the same features.

The front panel offers the most direct control of the device, which is ideal for machine rooms or wherever quick changes and status checks must be made.

Chapter 2, Controls and Indicators describes front and rear panel features in detail.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Remote Web Browser Control

Remote Web Browser Control

The FS1 internally contains an optimized web server that allows remote monitoring and parameter setting via a network-attached computer running a web-browser.

From a network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more FS1 devices, even getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and rear panel (front:

Networks can be closed local area networks, a straight computer-to-FS1 cable, or for greatest ﬂexibility, exposed through a ﬁrewall to a broadband WAN.

The FS1 uses a standard RJ45 LAN connector, but internally the connection is intelligent and communicates via standard “straight-through” CAT 5 ethernet cables or null-modem (cross-over) cables with no conﬁguration or strapping.

Block Diagram Description

SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions. SNMP support is described in Chapter 6 .

The FS1 features a very ﬂexible architecture that allows simultaneous HD/SD operation. There are three separate frame synchronizers in the FS1: a full up/ down/cross-converting synchronizer, a downconverting synchronizer, and a standard HD/SD non-converting synchronizer. This architecture allows the following functions:

•

HD cross-converting with simultaneous downconverted SDI output

•

Up/down/cross-converting with both the input and converted formats on SD/HD SDI outputs (both synchronized)

•

Up/down/cross-converting with dual SD/HD-SDI outputs

Composite and S-Video outputs are always active (dedicated down-

•

converter for HD inputs)

For example, the FS1 can input 720p, and output both cross-converted 1080i HD-SDI and down-converted 525i SDI (or 1080i in and 720p and 525i out).

The FS1 also allows the user to set the output format, and the conversion will be automatic depending on what the input is. The FS1’s output format can also be controlled by using the reference input (follows the reference input format).

contents, and requirements.

Chapter 2 Controls and Indicators discusses the FS1 front and rear panel controls, connections, and indicators. Illustrations point out the various connectors and indicators with text discussions of each.

Chapter 3 Installation and Conﬁguration provides complete instructions for installing and conﬁguring the FS1 panel, from unpacking, cabling the system and then getting it up and running.

Chapter 4 Parameter Menus gets you started with setting up and using the FS1 via its front panel controls. Discussed are the Parameter Menu and the Select and Adjust buttons used to view and edit settings.

Chapter 5 Browser Remote Control discusses controlling the FS1 remotely via a network-attached computer with a web browser.

Chapter 6 SNMP discusses FS1 support of SNMP. Appendix A Speciﬁcations presents technical speciﬁcations for the product. Appendix B GPI Connector Pinout presents a GPI connector pinout. Appendix C Analog Audio Connector Pinout shows a Tascam connector pinout. Appendix D Safety Compliance lists important regulatory and safety information. Appendix E Glossary deﬁnes essential terms that apply to the product.

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. Use of the web browser user interface and Remote Control Panel option are described in a Chapter 5.

On the following pages are front and rear panel illustrations with notations that summarize all of the connectors and indicators. Detailed descriptions of each of the connectors and indicators follow afterward.

Chapter 2:

Controls and Indicators

Full installation instructions are provided in Chapter 3 later in this manual.

Note: The AJA FS1 should be plugged into 3-prong 100-240 VAC power before you make connections to other equipment. The AC cords provide a path to ground for accidental static discharge to protect system equipment. The FS1 has two fully independent and redundant power supplies and will operate with one or both AC power cords plugged into the unit. However, fault-tolerance exists only if both power supplies are connected and plugged into separate branch circuits. Then if power is lost on a branch or a supply, the FS1 will continue to operate on the remaining circuit and power supply.

Warning: To meet safety regulations for leakage current and to achieve full redundancy, connect the FS1 dual power supplies to separate branch circuits.

AJA FS1 Front Panel Indicators

The alphanumeric display has two modes:

Status: Displays current machine status and/or error conditions. The status

display is enabled when you push the Status button.

Control: The control mode displays the menu structure for selecting and

changing/adjusting machine functions and parameters. The display changes from status to control mode when you press a Select or Adjust button.

When the FS1 is powered up, the display will show an AJA logo and then the status display.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel

Status Display Pressing the Status button under the AJA logo pages through the eight status

displays. Normally, you'll be viewing the main status screen shown in a previous illustration. It’s the default screen at powerup. Information contained in the status display shows the current primary settings for the FS1:

• Input Format (upper left)

• Output Format (lower left)

• Selected Video Input setting (upper right)

• Selected Audio Input setting (lower right)

Input Format Video Input setting

Output Format Audio Input setting

For example, if set up to do a cross-convert from 1080i59.94 to 720p59.94 using embedded audio in and out, the display would look as follows:

IN 1080i59.94 SDI 1

OUT 720p59.94 SDI 1

If the selected input has no valid signal present, the FS1 displays IN No Input.

Note: If the input is incompatible with the chosen output format, the default status screen will display the actual format, such as IN 525i 59.94. The video format status screen, however, would be the default status screen at that point (since the Alarm LED would be on), and it would display IN Incompat.

The other seven status displays are listed and described below:

The video format status screen shows the status of the active video input, the

output format, the genlock source, and the format of the reference signal (if applicable). For example, if the Output Format is set to Follow REF, but there is no valid reference signal present, the Output Format section of the video format status screen will read OUT No Ref.

The sidebar status screen shows the main input format, sidebar input format,

output format, and sidebar input select. Any incompatibilities between these formats are shown as Incompat.

The sidebar input screen always shows the detected formats of the main input

and the sidebar input—to help resolve incompatibilities.

The power/temperature status screen displays power supply and temperature

status. If a power supply is unplugged or an error is detected, the display top line reads PS 1 OFF, PS 2 OFF, PS 1 Error, or PS 2 Error, respectively. (When Power Supply Alarm filter (60.1) is set to Suppress; the display still reads Power OK even if a power supply is unplugged.) If the FS1 internal temperature threshold is exceeded, the display lower line reads OVERHEATED and video output may be compromised. If the front panel Alarm LED is lit, the reason should be evident if you check the video format and power/temperature status screens.

The close-captioning status screen shows whether closed caption data is present on

the selected video input.

The AJA logo is displayed when no button activity occurs for 60 minutes.

The FS1’s System Name has been previously defined (how to enter/edit it is

described in Chapter 4, Parameter Menus, System Name 50.5).

Controlling the FS1 Using the Select and Adjust Buttons

The FS1's control system is designed to be easy to use and remember. All functions in the menu system are numbered for easy reference. Two pairs of up/ down buttons named Select and Adjust provide control. Pressing any of these four buttons immediately puts the FS1 into control mode:

Select

Adjust

To operate the FS1, use the Select buttons to select a function or parameter. Then use the Adjust buttons to adjust the selected function or parameter.

The control display has two lines:

Parameter Number and Name

Current Parameter Setting

The top line contains a numbered and named FS1 parameter and or function.

The lower line contains the current setting.

The parameter Select buttons select a parameter to view or modify.

Pressing a parameter Adjust button 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. Adjustment choices made with the Adjust buttons take effect immediately (except 1.1 Output Format which has a 1/2 second delay). In most cases, changed parameters will be stored into the FS1’s non-volatile memory after the parameter remains unchanged for 3 seconds. Exceptions are the IP Address, IP Config, Subnet Mask and all SNMP parameters; for these you must exit the selection to activate changes.

Holding down a Select or Adjust button continuously changes the choices

automatically with acceleration if applicable.

Pressing either a Select or an Adjust button while on the Status or Screen Saver

displays changes the display to the last remembered control menu.

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 the 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.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel

Holding down both the Select buttons at the same time returns the front panel menu to

parameter 1.1 Output Format. If you are editing an octet, string or other parameter that requires a commit action (like editing a blinking IP address) and you press both Select buttons, the edit will terminate (will not take effect and will not be saved). On the other hand, if you are editing menu items that normally take effect as they are edited (e.g. procamp gain), the edited value will take effect.

Note: Parameter displays and adjustment choices and values are described in detail in Chapter 4.

Remote Control Pressing the Remote button once results in a display showing how the FS1 is being

controlled. Pressing the button again cycles the display through all control options:

LOCAL+REMOTE: Control is from the panel buttons, a web browser, or remote

panel (VTECS). The Remote button glows white.

REMOTE ONLY: Control of the FS1 is from a web browser on a network attached

computer or a remote control panel via the VTECS protocol (except for the remote control function). The Remote button glows red.

LOCAL ONLY: FS1 control is only allowed from the front panel buttons (except for

the remote control function). The Remote button glows green.

Indicator Descriptions

Indicators on the front panel are multi-state LEDs that light when a condition is present. The following indicators are conveniently arranged in groups to show speciﬁc subjects; these LEDs are also discussed on the following pages.

• Activity LEDs

• Power and Status LEDs

Activity Indicators

HD In—Shows that an active HD signal is detected at the previously selected input.

SD In—Shows that an active SD signal is detected at the previously selected input.

HD Out—Shows that an HD signal is being output.

SD Out—Shows that an SD signal is being output.

Aux—This LED is ON whenever a GPI input trigger is active if that GPI affects the

internal state of the FS1. If the associated GPI In parameter (36.1 GPI In 1 Response or 36.2 GPI In 2 Response) is set to No action, the LED stays OFF.

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.

Ref—Shows that the FS1 has an external reference video source applied to the Ref

connector.

Power and Status Indicators

Power 1—Shows that the FS1 #1 power supply is connected to AC mains power via

its power cord and is operational. Both the Power 1 and Power 2 LEDs must be lit to ensure redundant power is available.

Power 2—Shows that the FS1 #2 power supply is connected to AC mains power via

its power cord and is operational.

Identify and ID—These two LEDs (one on the front panel and one on the rear) will

blink when directed to do so via the FS1’s Web browser interface Identify button. This action is useful for identifying which FS1 you’re controlling when there are multiple FS1 units in a machine room being controlled by a laptop or computer. In the browser, simply click Identify and then watch for one of the FS1s Identify LEDs to blink. The Identify LED on the front panel and ID LED on the rear panel perform the exact same function. No matter which side of a rack you’re facing, you’ll be able to see one of the LEDs.

Alarm—If This LED is illuminated, press the Status button to see a description of

the alarm event detected.

The Alarm LED may be lit because of a hardware failure, because of video incompatibilities, or because of genlock loss. (Any of these conditions may be ﬁltered out using the Alarm Filters parameters.)

Note: Only having one power cord connected to the FS1 will cause the alarm LED to light—this may be ﬁltered with the Alarm Filters parameters.

Video incompatibilities may be deduced from the “Alarm Status” screen. When the Alarm LED is lit, press the front panel Status button to go directly to the “Alarm Status” screen.

Video incompatibilities that the FS1 may detect include:

Video Incompatibility Detected Alarm Status screen will show

6.1 Genlock Source is set to “Reference”, but Reference signal format is not compatible with selected Output Format.

6.1 Genlock Source is set to “Reference”, and selected Output Format is compatible with detected Reference format, but Input signal format is not compatible with detected Reference format.

Input signal is not compatible with selected Output Format.

Alarm Status screen shows:

“IN..... GEN Ref “

“OUT.... REF Incompat”

Example: if Reference and Output formats are 525, but Input is 625, Alarm Status screen shows: “IN Incompat GEN Ref “ “OUT 525i 59 REF 525i 59 “

Alarm Status screen shows: “IN Incompat “ “OUT 525i 59

Reference signal events that the FS1 may detect include:

When the main output (SDI 1) is not 1080pSF23.98, bypass mode will not be

available.

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).

The functions of the FS1 Inputs and Outputs depend on the operational mode.

The operational steps are simple:

1. Select an output format.

2. Select the desired input.

All outputs are active all the time. If you select an output format ﬁrst and then the input source, the FS1 automatically performs up/down/cross conversion.

Audio embedding/disembedding is also automatic, according to the parameter settings you’ve selected. For example, even though the input selected might be HDSDI with embedded audio, the analog audio output connectors will output proper analog audio that has been disembedded from the serial digital stream.

Please study Chapter 4 Parameter Menus, for a full understanding of all the possible FS1 settings.

AC Power Supply Socket #2 Autosensing 100 to 240VAC, 0.3A 50/60Hz

Connectors

Connectors on the rear panel are arranged in groups for easy installation and maintenance:

• P/S 1 and P/S 2—AC power connectors, each 3-pin (with Ground), one for

each independent power supply. Each power supply is autosensing from 100 to 240VAC at 50/60Hz. Only one has to be connected for FS1 operation, but redundant operation is available only if both connectors are plugged into AC power.

• AES/EBU Audio—8 digital channels in and out, two pairs per BNC.

• Analog Audio Ch.1-8 In/Out—8 channels of analog audio in and out via a

DB25 TASCAM-style cable (not supplied).

• GPI—connector providing dual isolated TTL compatible inputs and outputs.

The functions of each are selectable in software.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Connectors

• 10/100 LAN—RJ45 Ethernet connector.

• SDI In/Out—digital video with embedded audio. 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). SDI 2 can follow the input (“bypass”)—see description on the following page.

• Component In/Out YPbPr/RGB—video, 3 BNCs for input, and 3 BNCs for

output. Component can follow the input (“bypass”)—see the description on the following page.

• S-Video In/Out (Y/C)—one 4-pinmini-DIN for input, and one 4-pin mini-DIN

for output—see the description on the following page.

• Composite In/Out —NTSC/ PAL video, 1 BNC for input, and 1 BNC for

output—see the description on the following page.

• Ref Loop—reference video (looping), 2 BNCs.

• RS-422—DE-9 connector reserved for future use.

Each of these groups of connectors are discussed on the following pages.

Connector Descriptions

8 Channel AES/EBU Audio Inputs And Outputs

One BNC is provided for each of four pairs of channels, both on the input and output: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.

AES/EBU signals are handled by the FS1 internally as 24-bit digital.

Analog 8 Channel Audio

The two DB25 connectors, one for input and one for output, support a TASCAM-style cable snake for balanced 8-channel audio. Analog audio signals are converted internally to 24-bit digital

audio inputs

and outputs.

RS-422 Port

This DE-9 connector is reserved for future use.

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 FS1is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables, automatically detecting which is used.

SDI Input and Outputs

BNC connectors are provided for two SDI inputs and two SDI outputs. SDI video connections include embedded audio In/Out (depending on your parameter settings).

The outputs are active all the time, although you must specify the output format (and thus whether any automatic conversion takes place). For example, with an SD-SDI input selected, you could set the SDI 1 output to HD 720p for an upconvert, and then set the SDI 2 output to “Follow Input” (bypass) to output the SD-SDI at the same format/framerate as the input.

SDI provides the best quality 10-bit video input and output. If peripheral equipment has a variety of inputs/outputs, use SDI I/O if it is available.

Component (YPbPr/RGB)

Connect SD or HD component YPbPr or RGB video cables from a VTR, camera, or other source to the three input BNCs. Then connect the YPbPr or RGB output BNCs to your destination component device.

Component video signals are A/D (input) and D/A (output) converted (10-bit). Like the SDI 2 output, Component can be set to Bypass (follow input). Output is affected by the 5.3 Aspect Ratio and 1.3 Component Out parameter settings (see Chapter 4 for discussion of these parameters).

S-Video (Y/C)

S-Video input and output female 4-pin mini-DINs provide for connection of desktop video/prosumer level equipment, including camcorders, VCRs/ VTRs, and monitors, to name a few. Use high quality shielded S-Video cables when making connections.

S-video signals are converted internally to 10-bit digital. Output is affected by 5.3 Aspect Ratio and 1.3 Component Out parameter settings (see Chapter 4 for discussion of these parameters).

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 10-bit A/D (input) and D/A (output) converted. Output is affected by 5.3 Aspect Ratio and 1.3 Component Out parameter settings (see Chapter 4 for discussion of these parameters).

Reference Video (looping)

These two BNC connectors allow you to synchronize FS1 outputs to your

house reference video signal (blackburst or composite sync for SD, or Trilevel for HD). If you have a sync generator or video equipment source to use for synchronizing other video equipment in your studio, connect its composite output here. When the FS1 outputs video, it locks to this reference signal. Reference video does not need to be the same format as the video input/outputs, but it must have the same vertical rate (for example, 1080i Tri-level reference video will work for 525 video input and output).

Examples of permissible reference video signals:

• 525 Color Black

• 625 Color Black

• 1080i Tri-level Sync

• 720p Tri-Level Sync

Installation Overview

The installation and set up of an FS1 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.

Chapter 3:

Installation & Configuration

Hazard Warning!

High Voltage. This situation or condition can cause injury due to electric shock.

Warning!

Do not open the chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the chassis will void the warranty unless performed by an AJA service center or licensed facility.

Warning!

Disconnect the external AC power supply line cord(s) from the mains power before moving the unit.

Warning!

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Warning!

Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain readily accessible and operable.

Warning!

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.

Warning!

To meet safety regulations for leakage current, connect the FS1 dual power supplies to separate branch circuits.

Warning!

Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any wav, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

All of the steps of installation and conﬁguration are documented in this chapter, summarized as follows:

1. Unpack the shipping box, removing the FS1 and two power cords.

2. Connect the FS1 to power, connecting the two power cords to mains AC.

If you plan to use remote control of the FS1, 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 installed. If the FS1 will be attached to a LAN, talk to your IT administrator and obtain the details about how to conﬁgure the FS1 (DHCP or static IP, explained in this chapter).

The following ﬁgure shows typical LAN connections, although your installation may differ.

3. If connecting to a network, conﬁgure the FS1 IP CONFIG, IP ADDR,

IP MASK, and IP GATEWAY parameters according to the information obtained from your IT administrator in the last step. Connect it to the LAN. From a network attached computer or one directly connected to the FS1, “ping” the FS1 (explained later in this chapter).

4. Mount the physical chassis as desired: front rack, rear rack, or

deskmount. If you are mounting multiple FS1 units, try to place them visually in the same area so if you communicate with them via a network attached computer, you can use the FS1’s Identify feature to turn ON the corresponding LED of the FS1 you’re communicating with.

5. Cable the system audio and video sources, VTR(s), monitors, and audio

equipment.

Mounting the FS1 Chassis

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Mounting the FS1 Chassis

Physical Requirements

You can locate your chassis in two ways:

• Rackmounting—attach the FS1 (rear or front mounted) to a standard 19-inch

wide equipment rack. The chassis occupies only one vertical rack unit.

• Desktop—lay it on a horizontal flat surface.

Chassis Dimensions

When planning the equipment location, consider the chassis dimensions:

Height—1 rack unit, 1.75 inches (4.445 cm) Depth—12 inches (30.48 cm) Width—17.25 inches (43.8 cm)

Connecting to a Network

You can network the FS1 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 connects via its 10/100Base-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. Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an outside wide area network (WAN) such as the internet.

TCP/IP Information You ll Need

Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be ﬁxed and permanent, or dynamically assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching the FS1 to a LAN, talk to your network administrator to ﬁnd out how they want it connected (static IP or DHCP). Your IT department will be able to supply the information you need to install the FS1 on a LAN.

If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, then you don’t have to configure anything (the FS1 defaults to DHCP). If for some reason your IT administrator prefers an assigned IP address that is ﬁxed (static IP), then get the IP address—you’ll be entering it in the “IP CONFIG parameter” of the FS1. If your LAN requires static IP addresses, also ask your IT administrator for the Subnet Mask and default gateway IP address (your LAN’s internet router). The following two topics discuss two different ways to set up the FS1: via DHCP or via a static IP address.

Networking the FS1 via DHCP

The FS1 default conﬁguration (from the factory) automatically looks for a DHCP server to issue an IP address. So, as long as your network has a DHCP server (usually part of your router), all you need to do is plug the FS1 into the network. Network conﬁguration happens automatically.

If you prefer to manually select DHCP, use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter 50.1 IP CONFIG, and use the Adjust buttons to select DHCP. That’s it!

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.

If the FS1 cannot get an address from the DHCP server on the LAN while the FS1 is set to DHCP via parameter 50.1, the FS1 will automatically drop back to a preset factory IP address of 192.168.0.2. In this instance you can follow these alternate steps to communicate with the FS1:

1. Set the computer’s Ethernet IP address to 192.168.0.n (where n is not 2).

2. Set the computer’s Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most PCs default to the

proper netmask when the address is set).

3. Run a browser on the computer and type “192.168.0.2” (the factory

fallback IP address). You should now see the FS1’s browser status screen.

Note: If the FS1 fails to ﬁnd a DHCP server via its network connection, it will fall back to using the factory default static IP of 192.168.0.2—or whatever IP address you’ve previously deﬁned. AJA recommends you deﬁne a Static IP address with parameter 50.2 so you’ll be prepared in the event your DHCP server fails.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Connecting to a Network

Networking the FS1 using a Static IP Address

To set a static IP address for the FS1’s IP address, you’ll need to make some simple Parameter Menu selections. The illustration below shows the four menu selections you need to make while entering the information provided to you by your IT administrator.

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 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.

Adjust

Conﬁguring the FS1 with a Static IP Address

Networking the FS1 using the Factory Default IP

If you don’t want to use DHCP to network the FS1 and also don’t want to set your own static IP address, you can simply use a Default setting to use a factory setting of

10.65.74.65. This might be useful for an application where you directly connect a laptop or computer to the FS1 and want to get your networking connection operating quickly. Here are the steps to set up this method of communication:

1. Use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter 50.1 IP CONFIG, and then

use the Adjust buttons to select Default.

2. Set your laptop or desktop computer Ethernet IP address to 10.m.n.m

(where m is not 65 and n is not 74).

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.

Using Ping to Test the Network Connection

After setting the IP address and other TCP/IP settings and connecting the FS1’s Ethernet connection to a LAN or directly to a computer, ping the FS1 to ensure that you have a valid connection. Simply run the Ping utility from a Mac OS X or Windows PC computer attached directly or on the same LAN as the FS1:

Mac Ping Procedure

Windows PC Ping Procedure

1. Find the Applications Folder, and then ﬁnd the Utilities Folder inside of

the Applications Folder.

2. Locate the “Terminal” utility application and double-click it.

3. On the FS1, go to parameter menu 50.2 and read the IP address.

4. At the 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 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms

6. If unsuccessful, check the FS1 network settings and resolve the problem

with your IT administrator.

1. From the Start button, select the All Programs menu.

2. Select Accessories/Command Prompt from the All Programs list.

3. On the FS1, go to parameter menu 50.2 and read the IP address.

4. From the Command Prompt utility’s 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 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms

6. If unsuccessful, check the FS1 network settings and resolve the problem

with your IT administrator.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Controlling with a Web Browser

Controlling with a Web Browser

To control the FS1 from a web browser on a network attached computer, enter the FS1 IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS1 IP address were “90.0.6.31”, you would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31. This topic is explained in greater detail in Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control.

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". To manually reestablish the webUI connection, type in the new address, if the IP address has changed, or click the Refresh button on the web browser.

Installing The Latest Software

Although the FS1 comes from the factory pre-installed with software, it may not be as up-to-date as software posted on our AJA website. This topic describes the steps required to upgrade the software in your AJA FS1.

Download the Latest FS1 Software

Unpack the Software

Current and past releases of FS1 software are available on the World Wide Web from AJA's website. To get the software, point your browser to:

http://www.aja.com/support/converters/converters-fs1.php

This link is also available at the bottom of the Update Firmware screen (discussed later in this chapter). Once you’re at the update page, you can select FS1 software ﬁles to download to your Mac or PC for upgrading your local FS1 machine.

FS1 software update ﬁles are “ZIP” ﬁles that you can open with a number of standard and third party uncompressor applications. The software image that you’ll install on the FS1 is a ﬁle with a name like fs1_ver_2.2.0.10.bin or similar.

Note: Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the “.bin” extension may not be visible to you in a ﬁle directory.

Uploading and Installing the Software to the FS1

Click First

Uploading and installing the software update requires a PC or Mac that can “see” the FS1 via its ethernet connection. Follow this procedure to install the software:

1. Click the Update Firmware link at the bottom of the navigation box on the

left-hand side of any FS1 web page.

Browse Button

2. Click the Browse... button to select the downloaded ﬁle. For example:

fs1_ver_2.2.0.10.bin contained in the zipﬁle downloaded from AJA.

3. Click the OK button in the dialog box that appears, asking if you want to

upload the ﬁrmware. The ﬁle you select uploads to the FS1.

4. Click the Commit Uploaded Firmware button to commit the ﬁrmware to

FS1 ﬂash memory, or click Cancel to abandon the update. Wait for the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes.

5. Click the Restart FS1 With New Firmware button to restart your FS1.

6. After restarting, the FS1 is running the new software and your existing

FS1 conﬁguration prior to the upgrade is preserved. Check the FS1 web page again to make sure the software version is displayed at the top of all FS1 web screens. If not, run the update steps again.

Notes:

On some browsers, the Retry page may appear even though the upgrade was successful. If this occurs, refresh the web page and check for the version number at the top of the page, indicating the upgrade was successful. If the old version appears, click Retry. Occasionally, it may be necessary to clear the browser history and re-enter the address before the browser connects with the FS1.

If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1 will boot the older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. The FS1 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.

airspace for cooling around the FS1 units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment next to the FS1 and ensure none are obstructed.

Power Requirements

• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz,

fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated

• Power Consumption—25 Watts

Hazard Warning!

High Voltage. This situation or condition can cause injury due to electric shock.

Warning!

Do not open the chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the chassis will void the warranty unless performed by an AJA service center or licensed facility.

Warning!

Disconnect the external AC power supply line cord(s) from the mains power before moving the unit.

Warning!

Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain readily accessible and operable.

System Video/ Audio Cable Connections

Warning!

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.

Warning!

To meet safety regulations for leakage current, connect the FS1 dual power supplies to separate branch circuits.

Warning!

When installing your system, you’ll make video and audio input/output connections. These connectors are explained individually in Chapter 2.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Cabling the System

FS1 Audio Level Choices Pro or Consumer

FS1 Audio Setting Meaning

+24 dBu analog = 0 dBFS SMPTE standard With digital audio at maximum possible level

+18 dBu analog = 0 dBFS EBU standard With digital audio at maximum possible level

+15 dBu analog = 0 dBFS With digital audio at maximum possible level

Since the FS1 handles both digital and analog audio and can convert between the two, it provides settings via the Parameter Menus and the remote web browser that allow you to control the relationship between audio level in analog versus the same audio level in the digital domain. The FS1 offers four settings to accommodate these different audio relationships in both professional and consumer audio applications.

The audio levels listed in the following table are deﬁned in reference to 0 dBFS (where FS = full scale), which is the maximum level that can be represented digitally.

Note: the measurements mentioned here are made using a 1kHz sine wave.

FS1 Professional Audio Level Settings

(before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +24 dBu, and the output will be scaled to this level.

(before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +18 dBu, and the output will be scaled to this level.

(before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +15 dBu, and the output will be scaled to this level.

FS1 Consumer Audio Level Setting

FS1 Audio Setting Meaning

+12 dBu analog = 0 dBFS. With digital audio at maximum level (before

clipping), the analog audio input level will be +12 dBu, and the output will be scaled to this level.

These levels are provided for consumer equipment that outputs audio at levels lower than the professional levels.

Note: In the consumer audio world, units are often given in terms of dBV, so +12.2dBu is equivalent to +10dBV. The standard operating level then corresponds to -10dBV (-7.8dBu). The "+12dBu" FS1 setting provides consumer audio levels with headroom.

How Do Audio Level Settings Relate to Nominal Levels?

Most users refer to audio levels at the Standard Operating Level for the U.S. and Alignment Level for the EU—a level not at maximum level, but rather at some lower

point to allow headroom for audio to become louder without clipping.

In the U.S. most users use +4 dBu as their Standard Operating Level. This corresponds to -20dBFS in the digital domain (20 dB of headroom, per SMPTE

RP-155), so the +24 dBu setting on the FS1 provides proper headroom levels for digital and analog audio.

Most users in the EU use 0dBu as their Alignment Level. This corresponds to

-18dBFS in the digital domain (18 dB of headroom per EBU R68). Correspondingly, the +18dBu setting on the FS1 provides for this relationship. Alternatively, the FS1 +15 dBu setting provides safe headroom levels corresponding to some German professional audio equipment.

Parameter Menus

Controlling the FS1 via Front Panel Parameter Menus

There are three ways to control the FS1: (1) remotely from a web browser, (2) using a remote control panel, and (3) using the front panel Select/Adjust buttons and Parameter Menus. This chapter deals with the latter—the most direct and allinclusive way to conﬁgure an FS1.

Chapter 4:

In Chapter 2 we discussed the panel controls overall, so ensure you’ve read and understand that material ﬁrst. In this chapter we discuss each of the Parameter Menus and their use.

In each parameter screen the parameter number and name appear on the top line of the display, and the parameter settings are shown on the bottom line of the display; remember, the current setting is what is shown.

As mentioned in Chapter 2, you enter the parameter menus whenever you press the Select or Adjust buttons. Here is the general format of the Parameter Menu display:

Parameter Number and Name

Current Parameter Setting

Pressing either a parameter Select or parameter Adjust button while on the Status or Screen Saver displays changes the display to the last remembered Parameter Adjust menu. If you’re already viewing a Parameter Menu, pressing a Select or Adjust button causes a change to the next item.

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. Most adjustment choices made with the Adjust buttons take effect immediately and will be subsequently stored into the FS1s non-volatile memory if they remain unchanged for 3 seconds.

If a Select or Adjust button is held down continuously, the changes will begin to happen automatically with acceleration, if applicable.

Pressing either a Select or Adjust button while on the Status or Screen Saver displays changes the display to the last remembered Control Menu.

Holding down both the Adjust (up) and Adjust (down) buttons at the same time will set that parameter back to its factory default value.

The remaining topical headings in this chapter list all of the Parameter Menus by number and name. The number shows the order in the menu navigation system: pressing the up or down Select button shifts you numerically up or down in the order of their assigned parameter numbers. The name is what you’ll see in the Parameter Menu display (for example, the ﬁrst heading listed here is “1.1 Output Format” which is exactly what you’ll see in the top line of the display when viewing this parameter).

Off

Do not pass embedded audio packets to the SDI outputs.

FS1 outputs SDI embedded audio packets containing silence.

4.4 Sample Rate Convert

This parameter controls audio sample rate conversion on input audio. On is the default (audio is rate-converted and synced with video) and Off is a setting for use when Dolby unaltered. Normally, set this to On (default). Set it to Off only if the following are both

true:

5.1 and similar schemes need to be preserved and the audio data passed

1. You want to pass digital encoded audio from either embedded or AES into

embedded and/or AES out.

2. You have the embedded or AES input genlocked to the FS1 output. In other words,

the encoded audio will not survive the frame-sync function (dropping or repeating frames) so it needs to be set to lock to the input. You can lock to a reference only if that reference is driving both the FS1 and the upstream source of the embedded or AES input to the FS1.

Note: If parameter 4.5 Audio Follow Video is set to On, the Sample Rate Convert selection is independently kept for each separate input: SDI 1, SDI 2, Composite, S- Video, and Component. If Audio Follow Video is set to Off, another Sample Rate Convert selection is used.

4.4 Sample Rate Conversion Description of Choices

Black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped. Automatically selects the best downconvert mode based on the input video's Active

Format Description (AFD) code. If the input video is not carrying an AFD VANC code, the downconverter defaults to the mode speciﬁed in parameter menu

Downconvert AFD Default

5.5

Note: Active Format Description (AFD) codes are carried in the vertical ancillary

(VANC) portion of HD SDI video signals, speciﬁed in SMPTE 2016 as follows: “AFD information is intended to guide DTV receivers and/or intermediate

professional video equipment regarding the display of video of one aspect ratio on a display of another aspect ratio.”

In the FS1 downconverter, the AFD code on the video input can be used to guide the downconverter in choosing which mode to use to best display the important content of the input 16:9 HD video on the 4:3 SD output. For example, if the input AFD code is 10 (Full Frame), it means that the input video has important picture information throughout the full 16:9 frame, so the downconverter should use Letterbox mode to be sure none of the content is cropped off. An AFD code of 9 (Pillarbox) says that the input video only has content within the center 4:3 area of the picture (usually because it originally came from an upconverted SD signal) so the downconverter Crop mode would be the best choice. There are 16 possible HD AFD codes, of which 8 are in common use. The FS1 does not process or use SD AFD codes.

FS1 AFD processing (passing, removing, and re-inserting) occurs based on the setting of parameters 5.2, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7.

The FS1 does not insert an AFD code into the output. If the video input has an AFD code and the FS1 is not up/down/cross-converting it, the input AFD code will be passed through to the output. If the FS1 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. If the FS1 is upconverting, the appropriate AFD code will be chosen based on the upconvert mode. The FS1 always inserts a “Box > 16:9 (center)” AFD code (4), which indicates that the HD image has an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 as a vertically centered letterbox within the 16:9 frame. The FS1 always inserts a “Full Frame” AFD code (8), which indicates that the HD image is full frame, with an aspect ratio that is 16:9. The FS1 always inserts a “4:3 (center)” AFD code (9), which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio as a horizontally center pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame. The FS1 always inserts a “16:9 (with complete 16:9 image protected)” AFD code (10), which indicates that the HD image is full frame, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and all image areas are protected. The FS1 always inserts a “14:9 (center)” AFD code (11), which indicates that the HD image has a 14:9 aspect ratio as a horizontally centered pillarbox within the 16:9 frame. The FS1 always inserts a “4:3 (with alternate 14:9 center)” AFD code (13), which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio and with an alternative 14:9 centered pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame. The FS1 always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 14:9 center” AFD code (14), which indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 14:9 center within the 16:9 frame. The FS1 always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 4:3 center)” AFD code (15), which

indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 4:3 center within the 16:9 frame.

5.7 AFD Out SDI 2

This parameter menu determines whether the FS1 inserts a SMPTE 2016 Active Format Descriptor (AFD) packet into the SDI 2 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.

Parameter selections are the same as for parameter 5.6 (AFD Out SDI 1).

7.1 Sidebar Keyer

This parameter turns the Sidebar Keyer On or Off, and selects its source. When turned On, the FS1 Sidebar Keyer takes a standard deﬁnition signal from the selected input source (parameter 2.1), upconverts it, and then adds HD sidebars from the source selected here in parameter 7.1.

The sidebars keyed over the FS1’s source video (2.1) will each have a width as speciﬁed in parameter 7.2. Sidebar video is useful when upconverting standard deﬁnition video in 4:3 Pillar mode, as the sidebar takes the place of the black on the sides of the 4:3 aspect ratio picture.

The input selected here (7.1) for the Sidebar must be an HD signal, and it must be the same format as that selected for parameter 1.1 Output Format.

Notes:

1. It is normal for SD sources used for the sidebar ﬁll to sometimes have

asymmetrical edges (if SD video isn’t cropped to “real video”). This can be seen in some cases where digital video was digitized from analog.

2. The Composite and S-Video inputs are not available as the sidebar source since

they only support SD.

The Component input may be used as a sidebar input source for 7.1—but only if the main input selected by 2.1 is not Composite or S-Video. (There is only one A/D converter in the FS1, and it cannot be used for both inputs simultaneously.)

7.2 Sidebar Edge

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 7.2 Sidebar Edge

This parameter selects the width of the sidebars when turned on via parameter 7.1. Sidebar Keyer. 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).

Alarm conditions occur if conﬂicting video formats are selected, such as the following:

• Selecting different formats for 1.1 Output Format, 7.1 Sidebar Keyer input

format, and the main 2.1 Video Input format

• Selecting analog inputs for both the main input and the sidebar input

• Setting 7.1 Sidebar Keyer to On while in Follow Input mode (since the sidebar

keyer requires that the main input be upconverted).

When a sidebar-related Alarm condition appears, the sidebars will not appear on the video output. The Status menu displays sidebar (SB) status information to help you ﬁnd the cause of the conﬂict.

In standard deﬁnition video (525i59.94), closed captioning data is encoded and sent on line 21 of both ﬁelds, using a format deﬁned by the Consumer Electronics Association standard, CEA-608. This is traditionally called “line 21", “SD”, or “608” captioning, and is used for analog composite, analog component, and serial digital (SDI) video.

In high deﬁnition video, closed captioning is encoded and sent as Vertical Ancillary (VANC) packets in SDI video, using a format deﬁned by the Consumer Electronics Association standard CEA-708 (there is no equivalent for analog HD video). This is traditionally called “HD,” “DTV,” or “708” captioning. The data formatting and encoding for 708 captions is very different from the data contained in 608 (SD) captioning, reﬂecting the added features and capabilities available with the CEA-708 standard.

The FS1 UpConverter automatically translates incoming line 21 captions to CEA708 format and inserts the VANC packets into the converted HD video stream. This is a complete translation from CEA-608 format to CEA-708 format (including the embedded SD captions).

The FS1 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.

To pass closed captioning data to the outputs, parameter 31.1 UC Line 21 must also be set to Pass. The FS1 CrossConverters will reformat and pass any incoming CEA708 VANC packets for the output frame rate.

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — 35.3 Authentication

35.3 Authentication

This parameter determines whether password authentication is required in order to make FS1 changes.

35.3 Authentication Description of Choices

Parameter Adjustments:

Disabled

(Default)

Basic

No authentication. User's browser prompts for a username/password for access to the FS1.

Notes:

1. AJA recommends using the Disabled setting, unless it is absolutely necessary to use

the Basic setting, since the authentication used is only as good as the underlying network security. This is due to the password being sent across the network in clear text. Security follows the “basic” authentication deﬁned in RFC2617, which can be read at this URL: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt

2. The default value is Disabled. It will be reset by a two-button hold down factory

reset, which will change this parameter back to Disabled; the single up button factory reset will not (see parameter 99.0 for information).

3. Changing Authentication to Disabled will also reset the System Password parameter

to the default password, which is “password”.

4. If you select Basic without ﬁrst setting the password (via web), the default

password will be used. See parameter 99.0 for more about the password.

5. After you select Basic, a password is required for webUI (browser) access to the

FS1. Passwords cannot be entered at the front panel but must be entered via web browser. Your browser will prompt for a username/password. The FS1 ignores any supplied username and uses only the password during authentication. If your are prompted for a password more than once, please re-enter the proper password each time.

6. In the web browser, changing this parameter will show/hide the controls for setting

the password.

7. If you are prompted for a password before you can set a new password, enter the

default, which is “password”. (Enabling the feature turns it on immediately, requiring authentication for all trafﬁc to/from the FS1.)

36.1 GPI IN 1 Response

The setting of this parameter determines what happens when a GPI trigger is received at the FS1’s ﬁrst GPI input (pin 1 on DE-9). A GPI Trigger is deﬁned as a TTL low voltage level (0 to 0.8V with respect to its isolated ground pin). The GPI interface pinout and speciﬁcations are discussed in Appendix B.

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). The LAN connection on the FS1 uses a standard RJ45 connector, but internally it’s intelligent and communicates via standard “straight-through” CAT 5 ethernet cables or null-modem (cross-over) cables without conﬁguration or strapping.

Note: Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 are supported as web browsers for FS1 control. Other browser software may work, but AJA cannot guarantee operation.

To access the FS1, enter its IP address in the web browser. The IP address is deﬁned in parameter 50.2 of the FS1’s Network parameter menus—please note that parameters 50.1 through 50.4 must all be conﬁgured correctly to access the FS1 on your network. If the FS1 is using DHCP (the default), you can ﬁnd the IP address by pressing the Status button on the FS1 front panel until the Network Status display is shown or you can go to parameter 50.2 and read it there. When the FS1 is shipped from the AJA factory, the FS1 defaults to DHCP operation.

Chapter 5:

If 50.1 is set to DHCP, and the DHCP server on the network fails to grant an IP address, the FS1 will fall back to the IP address set in STATIC ADDR (50.2).

If 50.1 is set to Default Addr, the factory default static IP address is: 10.65.74.65.

So, if 50.1 is set to Default Addr, you would type the following in the web browser: http://10.65.74.65 to see the FS1 web interface Main Status screen.

FS1 Web Interface, Main Status Screen

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. This latter information is useful if you ever have to call AJA Technical Support to discuss a problem or get help. In the middle of each screen are menu choices and information pertaining to the subject matter of that screen (i.e., the Audio and Video I/O screen has choices about audio and video).

FS1 web screens closely mirror the parameter menus displayed on its front panel. In each of the screens presented on the following pages, we’ll list the parameter menu numbers that are related. Also, to make things easier for you to reference, we’ll list the deﬁnitions redundantly here so you don’t have to ﬂip back and forth between chapters.

FS1 Web Interface, Main Status Screen

From the Network screen, you can see at-a-glance all of the FS1 devices present on the same local LAN as the current FS1 you are controlling. At the bottom of the screen under Available FS1s—Click to Refresh, the system names of all FS1s on the LAN are listed. Clicking on any of these will bring up the Status screen of that FS1. Note: the FS1 you control may be running a different software version, so screens may look different. As a rule, it’s wise to have all your FS1 devices running the most current software and the same version. Also, you must have a properly conﬁgured default gateway to see the FS1s.

Note: If the Default Gateway (parameter 50.4) is not conﬁgured properly, other FS1s will not be visible here. If it displays No FS1’s found, check the gateway setting.

Resetting Values To Factory Settings

Audio and Video I/O Screen

FS1 web browser screens feature many user controls that can be reset to factory values by simply “right-clicking” on the control, whether it be a drop-down menu or adjustable “spinner” control. When you right-click a control, the browser will display a Reset to Factory message that will cause the parameter to be reset.

Note: This only works with computers that allow right-clicking. Some models/brands of computers and laptops may not permit this operation.

To perform a global reset of the FS1 to factory settings, go to the Miscellaneous screen and click on the button at the bottom labelled Reset all FS1 parameters to Factory Values. (This functions the same as the FS1 front panel parameter 99.0—another way to reset to factory values.)

Genlock Control Screen

This screen selects the type of genlock source and then allows ﬁne adjustment of the horizontal and vertical timing, and audio delay—relative to the source selected. There are two ways to enter a value:

• Click and drag the slider.

• Click on the numeric value above the slider, enter a new value and press Enter to

commit the changed value.

Horizontal Output Timing, pixels (6.2)—This slider adjusts horizontal output timing

relative to the reference video already selected. When adjusting the horizontal timing (H), this value speciﬁes a number of pixels to offset, from zero to full line width.

Horizontal Output Fine Timing—Further adjusts the horizontal analog output timing

(only) in finer increments than 6.2 (above)—in this case by sub-pixels. Each adjustment of the control, from 0 to 127 adjusts the timing by 1/128th of a pixel.

Note: This ﬁne timing control only affects the analog outputs.

Vertical Output Timing, lines (6.3)—This slider adjusts vertical output timing relative to

the reference video already selected. When adjusting the vertical timing (V), this value speciﬁes a number of lines to offset, moving the screen up to a half a frame up or down.

ProcAmp Control Screen

This screen selects whether the Processing Ampliﬁer (ProcAmp) is On or Off, and if On, allows adjustment of gain, blacklevel, hue and saturation via slider controls.

FS1 Web Interface, ProcAmp Control Screen

Video In—Selecting a value results in the ProcAmp screen showing the current ProcAmp

settings for that specific input as well as changing the FS1’s input to the one chosen.

Note: ProcAmp controls (Parameters 10.1 through 10.5) are independently kept for each separate input: SDI 1, SDI 2, Composite, S-Video, and Component.

Gain (10.2)—Slider changes video gain from black to 1.5 times luma in steps of .01

Blacklevel (10.3)—Slider adjusts video black level from -20 IRE to +20 IRE in .5 steps.

Hue (10.4)—Slider adjusts video color hue through 360 degrees (color wheel). Slider can

adjust in increments/decrements of 1 degree or more.

Saturation (10.5)—Slider adjusts video color saturation from black & white to 1.5 times

chroma in steps as small as .01.

Caption Screen This screen controls how the FS1 handles closed captioning ancillary data and whether

it and VITC timecode are passed to the outputs or blanked.

Caption Translator (30.1)—When set to On and using the Upconverter, the FS1 will

automatically translate incoming line 21 captions to CEA-708 format and insert the VANC packets into the converted HD video stream. This is a complete translation from CEA-608 format to CEA-708 format (including the embedded SD captions).

When set to On and using the downconverters, the FS1 will 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.

When Off, translation is not performed.
