FS1 Front Panel Control
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).

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.

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)

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.
10
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:
1
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.
11
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.
12
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

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.

• 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
1
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.
15
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.
16
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
1
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).
17
Examples of permissible reference video signals:
• 525 Color Black
• 625 Color Black
• 1080i Tri-level Sync
• 720p Tri-Level Sync
18
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.

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.
