FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 7 www.aja.com

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview

FS-HDR, a 1RU, rack-mount, universal converter/frame synchronizer, is designed
specifically to meet the HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WCG (Wide Color Gamut)
needs of broadcast, OTT, post and live event AV environments, where real time,
low-latency processing and color fidelity is required for 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD
workflows. Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the FS-HDR’s HDR/WCG
functionality is powered by Colorfront Engine™ proprietary video processing
algorithms. FS-HDR also serves as a full, 1-channel up, down, cross-converter for
4K/UltraHD/2K/HD conversion and frame sync needs and in 4-Channel mode,
offers 4 independent channels of 2K/HD conversion.

The pursuit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the dream of getting closer to the
Human Visual System (HVS) in all that we experience as viewers. FS-HDR has been
designed to get us all there faster with a low profile, stand alone and real time
device uniquely designed to bridge SDR to HDR, HDR to SDR and HDR to HDR, all
in real time.

HDR Conversions:

• HDR to HDR

• HDR to SDR

• SDR to HDR

WCG Conversions:

• BT.709 and BT.2020

Up and Down Conversions:

• Converting HD SDR BT.709 sources to UHD HDR BT.2020

• Converting UHD HDR BT.2020 sources to HD SDR BT.709

FS-HDR’s extensive digital video connectivity is only matched by its expansive
digital audio flexibility. The growth of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number
of audio channels that must be managed in a production as well as needing to
create stereo mixdowns from 5.1 and 7.1 sources. The MADI standard provides
a convenient way to transport large numbers of audio channels along a single
cable, simplifying the cabling demands for broadcasters, mobile trucks and
production. FS-HDR supports both fiber and coax connections with 128-channel
MADI input and output. An internal 277x208 audio matrix allows full routing of
MADI, mixdowns and all audio coming from SDI, fiber and AES sources for an
incredible amount of audio processing capability in a single box.

FS-HDR Control

FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR 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

The FS-HDR 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-to-FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR devices, and you can identify the one you
are connected to via LEDs on the FS-HDR’s front and rear panels.

GPI Inputs and Outputs

General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are available on the FS-HDR back panel to
provide contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure
activates a specified function on the FS-HDR. Using the outputs, specific FS-HDR
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 Interface Monitoring

SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions.

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 10 www.aja.com

Technical Description

The FS-HDR features an incredibly flexible architecture, offering powerful Video
Processors for video conversion and processing, a separate Audio Processor, and
input and output video and audio signal routing. The FS-HDR has two completely
separate operating modes, selected with a menu parameter and then rebooting
the unit.

Four Channel Mode

In Four Channel Mode four independent HD/SD Video Processors are available,
Frame synchronization, genlock, and up, down and cross conversion is available
for a variety of video inputs and outputs. This mode also allows each Video
Processor to use any one of the other Video Processor’s video as a background or
sidebar key.

Each Video Processor routes its output to dedicated SDI output ports, depending
on the transport configuration. For single link transport the output of Video
Processor 1 is sent to SDI Out 1 and SDI Out 5 (for use with an optional SFP
module). For dual link transport, the output of Video Processor 1 is routed to
the SDI Out 1 and SDI Out 2 pair, and also to the SDI Out 5 and SDI Out 6 pair.
In addition, any Video Processor output can be routed to the monitor BNC and
HDMI outputs.

Four Channel Mode supports frame rate conversion within the same “family” of
frame rates. These families are:

• 59.94/29.97/23.98

• 50/25

• 60/30/24

Audio processing is available for all input audio, and audio can be routed to any of
the Video Processors for embedding, and to any of the audio output connectors.

allowing up, down, and cross conversion between a variety of 4K, UltraHD, 3G,
HD, and SD video formats.

The same processed output signal is sent to all the FS-HDR output connectors,
depending on transport configuration. For example, when in Quad Link mode,
the same signal is routed to the SDI Out 1-4 connectors, and also to the SDI Out
5-8 connectors (for use with optional SFP modules). In Dual Link mode four copies
of the processed video are routed to the SDI Out 1&2 pair, SDI Out 3&4, SDI
Out 5&6 and SDI Out 7&8. The Video Processor output is also available on the
monitor BNC and HDMI ports, and will be downconverted if necessary.

In Single Channel Mode only matte and black sidebar keying is available. Scale,
Position, Crop, and ROI are also available in Single Channel Mode for all formats
except when both the input and output formats are 4K/UltraHD.

Single Channel Mode frame rate conversion within the same “family” of frame
rates are supported for HD/SD signals, and for up and down format conversion
only to or from 4K/UltraHD signals. These frame rate families are:

• 59.94/29.97/23.98

• 50/25

• 60/30/24

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 12 www.aja.com

However, when the FS-HDR’s input and output are both 4K or UltraHD, the frame
rates must be the same even within the same family. For example, if the FS-HDR
receives UltraHD 59.94, when it is configured for UltraHD output, that frame rate
must also be 59.94.

Audio processing and routing in Single Channel Mode is similar to Four Channel
Mode.

Video Processor(s)

Each Video Processor performs format conversion, frame synchronization, signal
processing, and keying operations. Conversion is done with very high quality
scalers. De-interlacing is performed with high quality motion-adaptive processing
including diagonal filters.

Integrated Colorfront Engine proprietary video processing algorithms in each
Video Processor provide the highest quality transforms between different video
dynamic ranges and color spaces. The Video Processor also supports video signal
adjustment with standard Proc Amp controls.

The FS-HDR can embed 16 channels of audio from any of the audio inputs to each
complete video output. On multiple link outputs, the audio is embedded on the
first link. When signals are duplicated on multiple outputs, the same embedded
audio is present on the first link of all the duplicated outputs.

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 13 www.aja.com

Audio Processor

The Audio Processor accepts AES, MADI and embedded SDI audio and performs
high quality sample rate conversions as required. Full audio channel mapping
supports any mixture of inputs to outputs.

Dolby 5.1 and similar schemes of non-PCM digital encoded audio can be passed
unaltered, provided the input is genlocked to the FS-HDR output.

Internal mixers are available that permit mixing down five inputs (5.1) or seven
inputs (7.1) to a left/right stereo mix. Two Mixdown mixers are available in Four
Channel Mode, and one Mixdown mixer is available in Single Channel Mode.

Optional FS-HDR Features

SFP I/O

All FS-HDR’s SFP I/O ports support up to 3G SDI data rates. In addition, in Single
Channel mode the FS-HDR‘s SFP ports 5 through 8 In and Out also support 12G
and 6G SDI, when equipped with a compatible SFP module.

The FS-HDR supports optional AJA Optical SFP I/O modules as follows:

• Single Input, LC connector (up to 3G)

• Single Input SC connector (up to 3G)

• Single Output LC connector (up to 3G)

• Single Output SC connector (up to 3G)

• Dual Input LC connectors (up to 12G)

• Dual Output LC connectors (up to 12G)

• Dual CWDM

• Dual HD BNC connector (up to 3G)

• Dual Output HD BNC connector (up to 3G)

Only AJA SFP modules are supported; use of other manufacturers’ modules is not
supported and may void the warranty.

Operation Overview

About Inputs and Outputs

In general, to use the FS-HDR for video conversion, select a Video Processor
Channel, select an Output Format that is compatible with the current FS-HDR
reference signal (see "About Reference and Genlock Source" on page 14), and then
select an Input port. The FS-HDR will automatically determine the selected input
video format and convert it to the selected Output Video Format. The converted
video is routed to the FS-HDR output ports.

About Reference and Genlock Source

A source being used by the FS-HDR for reference must be compatible with the
FS-HDR 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 60/30/24).

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 14 www.aja.com

The FS-HDR 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 input signal, or Free Run. Your choice of reference needs to
meet your individual facility requirements, and must be accounted for when you
configure an FS-HDR video output format.

HDR and WCG Background

High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) are relatively new ways
to present video programming that gives brighter highlights, more detailed
shadows, and enhanced colors with smoother gradients. HDR and WCG are
display oriented features, dependent on the capabilities of the device presenting
the video material.

Standards have been developed to help manage HDR signal flows, including:

• HDR-10 (for HDMI) - Uses a Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) curve that accounts for
the human visual response to maximize coding eciency. This standard also
uses static metadata to communicate signal characteristics to the monitor so
it can optimize its display characteristics to match the signal.

• Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) - Uses a combination log and gamma curve to
achieve coding eciency of HDR signals while also allowing the same signal
to be shown on both standard and HDR displays. No metadata is required.

Other standards exist, or are in development, including some that have dynamic
metadata, which can be used by displays to adjust for the best possible picture
from scene to scene.

Retained Settings

The FS-HDR stores the current value of each operational parameter in non­volatile memory so that the system returns to the same state after a power cycle.
Most of the settings for Single Channel mode are stored separately from those for
Four Channel Mode, and vice-versa. These separate settings for each mode can
be changed only when operating in that mode.

The FS-HDR 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.

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 FS-HDR to a previous state. Many
parameters can be individually reset to factory values using individual menus, or
the entire FS-HDR can be reset to defaults (with the PRESET, Factory Preset menu).
Presets for Single Channel mode are separate from those for Four Channel Mode.
Preset changes made in one mode will not affect settings for the other mode.

Front Panel Layout and Operation

The FS-HDR’s front panel control system is designed to be quick and easy to use.
The alphanumeric display on the left shows status and parameter information.
SELECT and ADJUST knobs provide fast menu scrolling, parameter selection and
adjustment. Status LEDs on the right report important system information.

The buttons on the front panel operate interactively. At the center of the panel
are System Selection buttons, which provide direct access to parameter menus
that control basic FS-HDR operation (like setting the output frame rate or
selecting Single or Four Channel Mode). In addition, the STATUS button brings
up menus that report FS-HDR status information, and the PRESET button displays
Preset selection menus for rapid reconfiguration. When a System Selection
button is pressed, the parameter menu that was last selected from that group will
be displayed. Pressing any of these buttons de-selects all other SYSTEM buttons,
CHANNEL SELECT buttons, VIDEO menu group buttons, and AUDIO menu group
buttons to the right.

The four VID1-4 Channel Selection buttons to the right allow immediate access
to separate parameter menus for each Video Processor (when in Four Channel
Mode). The button for the currently selected Video Processor is illuminated. In
Single Channel Mode pressing any of the four buttons will light the VID1 button,
indicating that single Video Processor is selected for control. After a Video

Processor has been selected, the nine VIDEO Menu Group buttons on the right
are activated. The VIDEO Menu Group button that was last selected for that Video
Processor will be illuminated, and the alphanumeric display will show the last
selected parameter menu for that Video Menu Group.

Similarly, the EMBED and AES Channel Select buttons selects either Embedded
or AES audio, and activates the three AUDIO Menu Group buttons to the far
right. The last selected AUDIO Menu Group button for that audio type will be
illuminated and its last selected parameter menu will be displayed. Pressing an
Audio Channel Select button de-selects the Video Channel Select button, and
vice-versa.

This design allows rapid menu access, reducing the number of menus to scroll
through, and time is saved when button presses automatically return to their last
selected menus.

Status LED Indicators

Indicators on the front panel are multi-state LEDs that light when a condition is
present. The indicators and the conditions that cause them to light are as follows:

PS1/PS2

• Blue = Power Supply 1 or 2 is operational and receiving power. Both PS1 and
PS2 LEDs must be lit blue to indicate redundant power is available.

• Red = Power supply is not receiving power or not operating within 10% of
nominal value (unless the alarm has been suppressed, in which case the LED
will be turned o).

• O = Power supply alarm is suppressed and nominal power is not being
received.

2SI

• Blue = (Single Ch only) The processor’s output mapping is set to 2SI (2 Sample
Interleave).

• O = In Single Channel Mode the processor’s output mapping is set to
Quadrant (Square Division). In Four Channel Mode this LED is always o.

REF

• Blue = The FS-HDR is operating with a valid reference.

• Red = A reference alarm condition exists (unless the alarm has been
suppressed, in which case the LED will be turned o).

ID

Blinks blue on and off when you right-click on an FS-HDR system name and
choose Identify in the web interface Network list. This action helps identify
which system you’re controlling when multiple units are operated from a single
computer. The ID LEDs on the front and rear panels perform the same function.
No matter which side of a rack you’re facing, you’ll be able to see one of the LEDs.

REMOTE

This multicolor LED indicates the current control mode:

• Blue= Local Only (front panel control only)

• Red = Remote Only (remote browser or panel control only)

• Purple = Local + Remote (front panel and remote control both enabled)

Incompatibility Alarms

The FS-HDR produces signal incompatibility alarms for a number of reasons. For
example, incompatible conversion alarms can occur because the FS-HDR cannot
convert between frame rate families (59.94/29.97/23.98, or 50/25, or 60/30/24).

P/S 1 and P/S 2

Two IEC-60320 3-pin grounded connectors provide AC power to the two
independent power supplies. The supplies are autosensing for 100–240 VAC,
50/60 Hz. Only one connection is required for operation, but both connectors
must be plugged into AC power for redundant power protection.

AES/EBU Digital Audio

Two GPI DB-25F connectors provide input and output of 16 channels of balanced
digital audio. See "Audio Connection Pinouts" on page 129.

MADI BNC

64 channel MADI output and input, on separate BNC connectors.

MADI Fiber

64 channel MADI output and input, on separate Multi-Mode fiber ST connectors.

GPI

The GPI DB-25F connector provides connection to external equipment or circuits
via an isolated TTL-compatible interface. Four GPI inputs and four outputs are
available. See "GPI Pinouts" on page 128 .

Using the REMOTE menu group, you can program the actions of the GPI inputs
and outputs individually. Contact closures on the inputs can trigger a wide variety
of FS-HDR functions. Alarms or loss of video can trigger the GPI outputs.

10/100/1000 LAN

This RJ-45 connector provides an Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for connection
directly to a computer or to a LAN through an Ethernet hub or switch.

SFP In/Out (optional)

All FS-HDR’s optional SFP I/O ports support up to 3G SDI operation. In addition, in
Single Channel mode the FS-HDR‘s SFP ports 5 through 8 In and Out also support
12G and 6GSDI, when equipped with a compatible SFP module.

SDI In/Out

Digital video with embedded audio. Four SDI input and Four SDI Output BNCs.
10 bit 3G SDI is supported. The input and output signals carried on each BNC
connector varies, depending on the link configuration and format selection.

Monitor Output

Two Monitor output connectors are available, BNC (SDI) and HDMI, which output
the same video and audio. In Four Channel Mode you can select which Video
Processor output is sent to both of these Monitor output connectors. Single
Channel Mode always passes the unit’s single output to these connectors, and
4K/UltraHD signals are automatically downconverted to 2K/HD.

NOTE: The BNC and HDMI monitor output cannot directly display 4K/UltraHD signals,

and the HDMI output does not include an HDR infoframe.

4K/Ultra HD and HDR signals can be monitored locally using the FS-HDR's extra
outputs (optional SFP modules required) and AJA Hi5-4K Mini-Converters. See

"Local Monitoring with the FS-HDR" on page 39 for more information.

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 25 www.aja.com

Ref Loop

The Reference Loop BNCs accept an Output timing reference signal. The
reference can be analog SD blackburst or HD tri-level sync. Examples of
permissible reference video input signals:

• 525 Color Black

• 625 Color Black

• 1080i Tri-level Sync

• 720p Tri-level Sync

The 2 BNCs are a passive loop: one BNC is for the Input, and the remaining BNC
can be connected to another piece of equipment in the reference chain or
terminated.

NOTE: For proper operation the input Reference signal must be stable and properly

terminated using a 75-ohm terminator on either the unused loop connector or
the last piece of downstream equipment to which the Ref Video is connected.

Chapter 3 – Installation & Configuration

Installation Overview

The installation and set up of an FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR 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 unit 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 unit 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 o a branch, connect the 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 FS-HDR and two power cords.

2. Install any physical options, such as SFP I/O modules.

3. Mount the physical chassis as desired: front rack, rear rack, or desk mount.
If you are mounting multiple FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR you’re communicating with. For physical installation
details see "FS-HDR Chassis Installation" on page 28.

4. Connect the two FS-HDR power cords to mains AC. For redundancy, use
both power supplies and connect them to separate branch circuits so that
the FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR
directly using an Ethernet cable, or connect both the computer and the
FS-HDR to a local area network through an appropriate hub or router. Also
set the FS-HDR IP address in the menus, and then use a computer to test
(ping) the FS-HDR over the network connection to verify communication.
For details, see "Networking" on page 29.

6. Install a web browser on the computer, if not already present, for accessing
the FS-HDR web pages. You can access the pages simply by entering the
FS-HDR IP address in the browser address eld. See "Web Browser Control" on

page 31.

7. Connect the FS-HDR to system audio and video sources, including VTRs,
monitors, DVD players, video switchers, and audio mixers. For details,
see"System Cabling" on page 33

8. Test the FS-HDR with all of your devices to verify everything is working.

An FS-HDR chassis is shipped with two AC power cords and any late-breaking
news bulletins (if applicable). Chassis rackmount brackets are provided as part of
the chassis with screws.

As you unpack the shipping box, carefully examine the contents. Ensure you
received everything and that nothing was damaged during shipment. If you find
any damage, immediately notify the shipping service and supply them with a
complete description of the damage. AJA will repair or replace damaged items.

If you find shipping damage, contact your AJA dealer or distributor for details on
how to have your FS-HDR repaired or replaced.

NOTE: Save packing materials and the shipping box. If your FS-HDR ever requires service

or you move your system, use the packaging materials and box for safe shipment.

Installing Optional SFP I/O Modules

The optional AJA SFP I/O modules are purchased separately from the FS-HDR.
Install the optional SFP I/O modules by inserting them into the rectangular cages
on the back panel with the electrical connectors facing downward. Press gently
but firmly until the modules seat in the inside connectors.

You must remove any connected fiber or coaxial cables from the SFP modules
before you remove the modules from the FS-HDR. Pull down the SFP lever to free
the module before you withdraw the module from the cage.

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

FS-HDR Chassis Installation

The following information will help you install the FS-HDR chassis correctly.

Physical Requirements for Mounting the Chassis

You can mount the FS-HDR chassis in two ways:

• Rackmounting—attach the FS-HDR (rear or front mounted) to a standard 19­inch wide equipment rack. The chassis occupies only one vertical rack unit.

• Desktop—lay it on a horizontal at 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

Cabling and Cooling Requirements

Observe these precautions when placing your FS-HDR:

Networking

• 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 FS-HDR chassis, ensure adequate
airspace for cooling around the FS-HDR units. Note the location of cooling
vents on all equipment next to the FS-HDR and ensure none are obstructed.

adequate supply of cool air around the FS-HDR side vents.

The FS-HDR 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 (70 Watts maximum)

You can network the FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR 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 FS-HDR on a LAN.

FS-HDR Default Network Settings

The FS-HDR 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 unit to communicate over a
TCP/IP network connection: via DHCP or via a static IP address.

Networking Using DHCP or Default Static IP

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

1. Press the CONFIG button.

2. Turn the SELECT knob to navigate to cong parameter 3.2. 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
FS-HDR and DHCP enabled, launch a web browser, type the IP address you
noted on the FS-HDR’s display into the browser address eld and press
Enter. You should now see the FS-HDR’s browser Status screen.

FS-HDR Frame Synchronizer/Converter/HDR-WCG Processor v1.0r1 29 www.aja.com

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

1. Set your computer’s IP address to whatever address you prefer in the

192.168.0 (class C) network.

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 FS-HDR default: 192.168.0.1.
Alternatively, change the FS-HDR gateway address to match your gateway:

A. Press CONFIG, turn SELECT to 3.4 Default Gateway, push and then turn

ADJUST to change the rst 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 nished, push ADJUST momentarily to save the address.

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

When you can access the FS-HDR screens, see "Browser Remote Control" on page

97 for details about configuring the FS-HDR using a browser.

Networking the FS-HDR Using Your Own Static IP

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 3.2 IP ADDRESS. The display shows
the default static IP address: 192.168.0.2.

3. Change the IP address as follows.

A. Push the ADJUST knob momentarily so that the rst octet (set of numbers)

blinks, and then turn ADJUST to change the numbers.

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 nished, push ADJUST momentarily to save the address.

5. Turn SELECT to advance to 3.3 Subnet Mask. Use the SELECT and ADJUST
knobs as in the previous step to set the desired subnet mask.

6. Turn SELECT to advance to 3.4 Default Gateway. Use the SELECT and ADJUST
knobs as in the previous step to set the desired gateway address.

7. Run a browser on the computer and type in the IP address you set for the
FS-HDR. You should now see the FS-HDR’s Status screen.

When you can access the FS-HDR screens, see "Browser Remote Control" on page

97 for details about configuring the FS-HDR using a browser.

Using Ping to Test the Network Connection

If you have connected the FS-HDR to a computer and set up the IP address and
still do not see the FS-HDR screens in your browser, you can ping the network to
verify the connection. Simply run the Ping utility from a Mac OS X or Windows
PC computer attached directly or on the same LAN as the FS-HDR as described
below:
