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. Featuring a flexible architecture, FS1-X simultaneously works with 3G/HD/SD-SDI 10-bit broadcast quality video and incorporates embedded audio, AES, MADI, and analog audio.

Utilizing AJA’s remarkable conversion algorithms, FS1-X supports up, down and crossconversion between SD and HD signals for the highest quality output possible. Additionally, the factory-installed motion adaptive Frame Rate Converter (FRC) option enables high quality conversions between different frame rate families for virtually unlimited international standards support.

The growth of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number of audio channels that must be managed in a production. The MADI standard provides a convenient way to transport huge numbers of audio channels along a single cable, simplifying the cabling demands for broadcasters, mobile trucks and production. FS1-X supports both fiber and coax 64 channel MADI input and output. An internal 224x224 audio matrix allows full routing of MADI and all audio coming from SDI, fiber, AES and analog sources for an incredible amount of audio processing capability in a single box.

FS1-X features a unique keyer configuration, allowing incoming signals to be combined in powerful ways. A common example is sidebar keying, where incoming video is converted from SD to HD but rather than stretching the 4:3 aspect ratio to fit in a 16:9 frame, a second signal is used to fill the sides of the 16:9 frame. This allows channel identification or other imagery to be placed in that area rather than having black bars on either side. The robust AFD features of FS1-X ensure that the aspect ratio of the outgoing signal is properly identified for downstream devices.

Video Features • The FS1-X handles a wide variety of video formats. See “Video Input/Output Formats” on

page 111 for a complete list.

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. You can control inputs, outputs, processing paths, keying, and much more.

Remote Web Browser Control

GPI Inputs and Outputs

SNMP Interface

The FS1-X internally contains an optimized web server that allows remote monitoring and parameter setting via an Ethernet 10/100/1000 network-attached computer running a web-browser. Networks can be closed local area networks, a straight computer-toFS1-X cable, or for greatest flexibility, exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN. From a network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more FS1-X devices, even getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and rear panel.

General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are available on the FS1-X back panel to provide contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure activates a specified function on the FS1-X. Using the outputs, specific FS1-X functions can produce a contact closure to activate any desired function on external equipment. The functions to be activated by an input or that can activate an output are set using the front panel and browser menus.

SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions.

Optional FS1-X Features

Frame Rate Converter (FRC)

The factory installed Frame Rate Converter option enables conversions between the three video frame rate families:

• 59.94/29.97/23.98

•50/25

•24

The standard FS1-X (without FRC) can also perform conversions, but only between frame rates that are within the same frame rate family, using add/drop frames.

The FRC option provides:

• High quality motion adaptive linear frame rate conversion

• Multi field/frame 3D pixel by pixel motion adaptation

• 1080p50/59.94 support

• Format and Frame rate conversion can be combined (for example, 625i/50 IN, 1080i/59.95 OUT)

Technical Description

The FS1-X features an incredibly flexible architecture, offering a powerful Video Processor for video conversion and processing, an optional Frame Rate Converter for even greater conversion capabilities, a second Video Processor, a separate Audio Processor, and extensive input and output video and audio signal routing.

Figure 1. FS1-X Simplified Block Diagram

FS1-X v1.1 www.aja.com

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. De-interlacing is performed with high quality motion-adaptive processing including diagonal filters. The Processing Amplifier and Color Corrector supports video signal adjustment with standard Proc Amp controls and RGB-style color correction.

Audio Processor The Audio Processor accepts analog, digital, or embedded audio, and performs high

quality A/D, D/A, and sample rate conversions as required. Inputs can be selected from Embedded (SDI, Fiber, or HDMI), MADI BNC or Fiber, AES, or Balanced Analog.

The output of the Audio Processor can be embedded in either Video Processor’s output (SDI, Fiber, or HDMI), or sent to the MADI, AES or Balanced outputs. Full audio channel mapping supports any mixture of inputs to outputs.

Dolby 5.1 and similar schemes of digital encoded audio can be passed unaltered, provided the input is genlocked to the FS1-X output.

Operation Overview

About Inputs and Outputs

About Reference and Genlock Source

Two internal mixers are also available that each permit mixing down five inputs (5.1) or seven inputs (7.1) to a left/right stereo mix.

In general, to use the FS1-X for video conversion, first select an Output Video Format (with the VIDEO PROC, Output Format Menu) that is compatible with the current FS1-X genlock source (see port on Video Processor 1 (with the VIDEO PROC, Video 1 Input menu). The FS1-X will automatically determine the selected input video format and convert it (if necessary) to the selected Output Video Format. You can now route that converted video to any or all of the FX1-X output ports, by selecting each output (with the VIDEO OUTPUT menu) and assigning Processor 1 to that port.

A genlock source being used by the FS1-X for reference must be compatible with the FS1-X video output format. These signals are compatible when they are both in the same frame rate family (59.94/29.97/23.98, or 50/25, or 24).

The FS1-X can be configured to operate with one of a variety of references, including genlock to the signal from the Reference input connector, genlock to the current Video Processor 1 input signal, or Free Run. Your choice of reference needs to meet your individual facility requirements, and must be accounted for when you configure the FS1-X video output format.

"About Reference and Genlock Source" below), then select an Input

The same FS1-X reference is used by both Video Processor 1 and Video Processor 2. The Video Processor 2 output format always matches its input format (no conversion is performed). If you use the Video Processor 2 output you will need to make sure its output video format (which is determined by its input format) is compatible with the currently used FS1-X reference.

FS1-X v1.1 www.aja.com

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.

Channel FS1-X

2 Operation

Sidebar Video Keying

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. In this mode, the full range of frame rate conversions are available using Video Processor 1. Video Processor 2 is disabled in this mode and reports no output, although a black video signal is generated if Video Processor 2 is routed to an output. Any embedded audio routed to a Video Processor 2 output will also be passed along with that black video signal.

2 Channel mode is available when the FRC is absent or has been disabled. In 2 Channel mode frame rate conversions within the same frame rate family are supported on Video Processor 1, and Video Processor 2 is available for use. For example, Video Processor 2 can be used to pass an unprocessed alternative version of the incoming video. Select the same input port used by Video Processor 1 on Video Processor 2 (with the VIDEO PROC, Video 2 Input menu), and route that video to a different output port by selecting that output (with the VIDEO OUTPUT menu) and assigning Video Processor 2 to that port. Video Processor 2 does not perform conversion, so for most ports the Video Processor 2 output video will match its input. However, Video Processor 2 video can be routed to the composite Video Output for downconversion. The composite Video Output port has a separate dedicated Downconverter so it can always display SD video even if it is selected to output a Video Processor that is configured for HD.

The FS1-X can be configured to perform sidebar keying (useful when converting between HD and SD with different image aspect ratios). Sidebar keying black or matte is always available. It is also possible to sidebar key a video signal from Video Processor 2 under the following conditions:

• The FRC option is disabled or not present (FS1-X is operating in 2 Channel mode).

• The Video Processor 2 video input signal format exactly matches the Video Processor 1 output format.

• The H and V Output timing settings of both Video Processor 1 and 2 are identical.

• The FS1-X reference being used is compatible with the Video Processor 2 input signal.

Retained Settings The FS1-X stores the current value of each operational parameter in Flash memory so

that the system returns to the same state after a power cycle.

The FS1-X also stores independent values for many settings, so that if the unit is configured for one operation, changed to a different operation, and then returned to that prior operation, the settings for that prior operation are restored.

For example, changing the Video Input selection automatically selects new values for Proc Amp parameters and RGB Proc Amp parameters. This is referred to as Source Memory. Each video source remembers its own Proc Amp settings.

Similarly, changing the Output Format selection automatically selects new values for H & V timing parameters. This is referred to as Output Timing Memory. Each Output Format mode remembers its own H & V timing settings.

FS1-X v1.1 www.aja.com

In This Manual

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).

ALARM (red) An alarm event has been detected. Press the STATUS button for information. The Alarm

LED may light because of a disconnected or failed power supply, other hardware failure, video incompatibilities, or genlock loss. (Any of these conditions may be suppressed using the Alarm Suppress parameters.)

Incompatibility Alarms

Example Reference and

The FS1-X produces signal incompatibility alarms for a number of reasons. For example, incompatible conversion alarms are possible when the FRC is not present or disabled (2 Channel operating mode). This is because in 2 Channel mode the FS1-X cannot convert between frame rate families (59.94/29.97/23.98, or 50/25, or 24).

Video incompatibilities that the FS1-X may detect include the following examples:?

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. The AC cords provide a path to ground for accidental static discharge to protect system equipment. The FS1-X 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 one of the supplies, the FS1-X will continue to operate on the remaining circuit and power supply.

Warning!

To meet safety regulations for leakage current and to ensure redundancy in the event that a branch circuit breaker shuts off a branch, connect the FS1-X dual power supplies to separate branch circuits.

Installation Summary

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

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

2. Install any physical options, such as fiber optic I/O modules or Dolby I/O cards.

3. Mount the physical chassis as desired: front rack, rear rack, or desk mount. If you are

mounting multiple FS1-X units, try to place them visually in the same area so you can use an attached computer to turn on and see the ID LED of the FS1-X you’re communicating with. For physical installation details, see

on page 28.

4. Connect the two FS1-X power cords to mains AC. For redundancy, use both power

supplies and connect them to separate branch circuits so that the FS1-X will continue to operate even if a circuit breaker opens on one branch.

5. If you plan to use remote control, connect your computer to the FS1-X directly using

an Ethernet cable, or connect both the computer and the FS1-X to a local area network through an appropriate hub or router. Also set the FS1-X IP address in the menus, and then use a computer to test (ping) the FS1-X over the network connection to verify communication. For details, see

6. Install a web browser on the computer, if not already present, for accessing the FS1-X

web pages. You can access the pages simply by entering the FS1-X IP address in the browser address field. See

7. Connect the FS1-X to system audio and video sources, including VTRs, monitors, DVD

players, video switchers, and audio mixers. For details, see

page 35.

8. Test the FS1-X with all of your devices to verify everything is working.

Installing Optional Fiber Optic I/O Modules

The optional AJA Fiber Optic I/O modules are purchased separately from the FS1-X. These AJA fiber modules work with the FS1-X:

•Single-channel LC connector modules

• Single-channel SC connector modules

• Dual-channel LC connector modules

FS1-X v1.1 www.aja.com

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. For additional installation and operation details, see the instructions provided with the fiber modules.

FS1-X Chassis Installation

The following information will help you install the FS1-X chassis correctly.

Physical Requirements for Mounting the Chassis

You can mount the FS1-X chassis in two ways:

• Rackmounting—attach the FS1-X (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 (4.5 cm)

• Depth—16 inches (40.65 cm)

• Width—17.5 inches (44.45cm)

• Weight—7.85 pounds, 3.56 kilograms

Power Requirements

Observe these precautions when placing your FS1-X:

• Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the chassis. Ensure that cable connectors are not stressed and cables are not bent or crimped.

• When rack mounting or stacking multiple FS1-X chassis, ensure adequate airspace for cooling around the FS1-X units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment next to the FS1-X and ensure none are obstructed.

cool air around the FS1-X vents.

The FS1-X requires the following input voltage and power.

• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz, fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated.

• Power Consumption—55 Watts, 60 Watts with FRC option (70 Watts maximum)

LAN

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. Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an outside wide area network (WAN) such as the internet.

Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent or dynamically assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching the FS1-X 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-X on a LAN.

The following illustration shows a network connection example; your installation may differ.

FS1-X Default Network Settings

Networking Using DHCP or Default Static IP

The FS1-X ships from the factory set for DHCP networking, and can be manually reset to the following default network settings:

IP Address 192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Gateway 192.168.0.1

The following topics discuss two ways to set up the FS1-X to communicate over a TCP/IP network connection: via DHCP or via a static IP address.

The FS1-X factory default configuration automatically looks for a DHCP server to issue an IP address. If your network includes a DHCP server, plug the FS1-X into the network and connect with the FS1-X as follows:

1. Press the CONFIG button.

2. Turn the SELECT knob to navigate to config parameter 2.2. Note on a piece of paper

the DHCP-supplied IP address shown.

3. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN as the FS1-X and

DHCP enabled, type the IP address you noted into the browser address field and press Enter. You should now see the FS1-X’s browser Status screen.

If the FS1-X cannot get an address from the network DHCP server, the FS1-X will automatically use a preset factory static IP address of 192.168.0.2. You can access the FS1-X using the default static address as follows:

Networking the FS1-X Using Your Own Static IP

1. Set your computer's IP address to whatever address you prefer.

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. Set the gateway address, if used, to match the FS1-X default: 192.168.0.1.

Alternatively, change the FS1-X gateway address to match your gateway: A. Press CONFIG, turn SELECT to 2.4 Default Gateway, push and then turn ADJUST to

change the first group of digits.

B. Turn SELECT to advance to the next set of numbers, and turn ADJUST to set these

numbers. C. Continue using SELECT and ADJUST to set the full address. D. When finished, push ADJUST momentarily to save the address.

4. Run a browser on the computer and type “192.168.0.2” (the factory static IP address). You should now see the FS1-X’s browser status screen.

When you can access the FS1-X screens, see “Browser Remote Control” on page 90 for details about configuring the FS1-X using a browser.

If you don’t want to use DHCP or the default static IP address, you can set your own static IP address:

1. Select the CONFIG button and use the SELECT knob to navigate to parameter 2.1 IP CONFIG. Use the ADJUST knob to select Static.

2. Turn SELECT to navigate to parameter 2.2 IP ADDRESS. The display shows the default static IP address: 192.168.0.2.
