24.00, the DashBoard Control System displays a yellow Card State and a yellow
Signal State with a "Pulldown Active" alarm warning.

When a signal is present and locked, the DashBoard Control System shows a
green Card State and a green Signal State under the Status tab. The SDI Signal
Type is also indicated (for example, "3G-SDI").

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 7 www.aja.com

NOTE: Alarms always show the highest priority alarm first. When that alarm condition is

resolved, the next alarm/warning condition will display, etc.

Frame Sync Mode Example

The following section provides an example of how to set up the OG-FS-Mini to
ensure the frame sync function is working correctly.

Setup

Ensure that the OG-X-FR or other openGear-compatible 2RU frame is powered up
and connected to an appropriate network cable to be able to communicate with
the DashBoard Control System. (See "Using the DashBoard Control System" on page

19 for details.)

Procedure

1. Install the OG-FS-Mini card and rear connector into the OG-X-FR openGear
frame (see "Installation" on page 13 for installation details).

2. Launch the DashBoard application.

3. In the left panel showing the basic tree view of frames and cards, double­click the slot and card name listed corresponding to your OG-FS-Mini.

• A window opens in DashBoard showing the OG-FS-Mini card and parameter

controls.

• By default the OG-FS-Mini is congured to operate genlocked to an external

reference signal.

• Under the Status tab in DashBoard, the Signal State indicates "Not Locked"

with a yellow alarm indicator, and the Reference Signal indicates "No Ref."

4. Connect the appropriate sync reference signal to the OG-FS-Mini Ref In
BNC. (See Figure 2. "I/O Connections for the OG-FS-Mini" on page 6 for the
location of the Ref In BNC.)

• The Reference Signal in DashBoard indicates the signal type (for example,

1080i59.94).

• However, because the OG-FS-Mini is still not receiving a compatible video

input, "No Video" will be reported for the Input Signal on DashBoard, and
the Signal State is "Not Locked" with a yellow alarm indicator.

5. Connect a 1080p59.94 SDI video source to the OG-FS-Mini SDI In BNC on the
BNC rear connector card.

• DashBoard will report 1080p59.94 for the Input Signal, and the Signal State

reports "OK" with a green alarm indicator.

6. From the Video tab, set the Output Format to 1080p (high).

7. Conrm that DashBoard shows that the Output Signal is reporting the
correct signal (in this example, 1080p59.94).

This workflow confirms that the OG-FS-Mini powers up successfully and that the
SDI video output is synchronized with the Reference Input.

Conversion Mode Discussion and Examples

Upconvert Mode

The OG-FS-Mini allows you to select the type of Upconversion performed on an
SD source input. This mode is in effect only when the input is SD (525i or 625i) and
the selected output format is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p).

• 4x3 Pillar – 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.

• LB to Full – 4x3 letterboxed image is scaled to t horizontally in a 16x9 frame.
Black bars top and bottom are cropped o.

• 14x9 Pillar (default) – 4x3 image is scaled to create a 14x9 image with black
sidebars and slightly cropping top and bottom of original image.

• Wide Zoom – A combination of scaling and stretching is used to t to a 16x9
frame. Slight cropping of top and bottom and a small aspect ratio change.

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 9 www.aja.com

Downconvert Mode

This mode determines the type of Downconversion performed on the
selected HD source input. See the following Downconvert Illustrations for
Downconversion examples. This mode is in effect only when the input is HD
(720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 10 www.aja.com

Selection Description

• Letterbox – Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area,
with the aspect ratio preserved.

• Crop (default) – Image is cropped to t new screen size.

• Anamorphic – HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic).

• 14:9 – Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top
and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.

• Auto AFD – Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the
input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code.

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 OG-FS-Mini 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 the16:9 HD input 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 OG-FS-Mini does not process or use SD AFD codes.

SD Aspect Ratio Convert

This mode selects the type of SD-to-SD Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) performed
on an incoming selected SD source. This mode is in effect only when the input
and output are both SD (525i or 625i). (In Europe 16:9 anamorphic video is also
known as “wide screen” video.)

User Controls

The OG-FS-Mini can be inserted right out of the box into an openGear frame
and immediately be used for many applications, since it is designed to recognize
inputs and perform standard actions automatically. However, you can also
manually configure the OG-FS-Mini using either of two methods:

14:9

• O–Turns aspect ratio conversion O.

• Letterbox–Converts 16:9 Anamorphic video to Letterbox video.

• H Crop–Converts 16:9 Anamorphic video to 4:3 Standard video (crops left and
right edges of video).

• Pillarbox–Converts 4:3 Standard video to 16:9 Anamorphic video.

• V Crop–Converts Letterbox video to 16:9 Anamorphic video.

• 14:9–Converts 16:9 Anamorphic video to 14:9 Cropped video.

• Local conguration through DIP switches on the card, or

• Remote conguration through the DashBoard Control System for an
openGear Frame.

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 12 www.aja.com

DIP Switches

The OG-FS-Mini has two DIP switch modules mounted on the card. The left
General DIP switch module can be used for general card configuration, and to
enable remote configuration using DashBoard. The right Reference DIP switch is
used for configuring the card's reference (see Figure 3 on page 6).

The General DIP switch #1 is a “Local/Remote” switch. When in “Local” mode, the
remaining DIP switches support a subset of the user controls, and DashBoard
displays only the Card and Status tabs and cannot be used for configuration.

For more details, refer to "Using DIP Switches to Control the OG-FS-Mini" on page

17.

DashBoard Control System

The DashBoard Control System, created by Ross Video, provides a control
interface between Windows, macOS and Linux computers and the cards installed
in an openGear frame. DashBoard operates through TCP/IP communication
and requires an Ethernet connection between the controlling computer and an
openGear frame.

For details about acquiring and using the DashBoard Control System, refer to

"Using the DashBoard Control System" on page 19.

Chapter 2 – Operation

Default Operational Settings

The OG-FS-Mini converter ships from the factory with the following
configuration:

• Local (DIP switch) control (DashBoard shows status only).

• 1080i59.94 output with NTSC related inputs, or 1080i50 output with PAL
related inputs.

If these settings apply to your requirements, you can simply connect the video
and audio input and output signal cables.

For other applications, you can configure the card using its DIP switch settings, or
by setting Remote (DIP switch) control and using the DashBoard Control System
and a PC or Mac networked to an openGear frame.

Using DIP Switches to Control the OG-FS-Mini

The OG-FS-Mini has two sets of DIP switches. The first set is used for general
configuration. The second set is used only for Reference selection. See Figure 3 on

page 6.

General Configuration DIP Switches

The General DIP Switch module is located on the left side of the card.

The default DIP switch positions are all in the left position. The default settings
result in an output of 1080i59.94 with NTSC related inputs and 1080i50 with PAL
related inputs.

For 1080p 23.98/1080PsF 23.98 inputs, the input can be converted to 720p 23.98,
1080p 23.98, 1080i 59.94, or 1080p 59.94. The latter two would use the 3:2 DIP
switch to add 3:2 pulldown.

The compliance label, found on the card next to the DIP switches, lists the DIP
switch settings.

NOTE: The HDMI output does not support "PsF" formats. When the Video Output Format

is configured for PsF, the signal on the HDMI output is converted to interlace.
HDMI monitors may not support all frame rates.

Using the DashBoard Control System

The DashBoard Control System is available as a free download from the openGear
DashBoard Software Download webpage:

https://www.opengear.tv/frame-and-control/control-system/download/

Ross Video offers comprehensive documentation that covers the extensive
capabilities of the DashBoard Control System:

https://www.rossvideo.com/support/product-documentation/dashboard/

This AJA OG-FS-Mini manual addresses only those essential aspects of the
DashBoard Control System needed to control the OG-FS-Mini card.

Requirements

The DashBoard Control System requires the following components:

• openGear frame with a Frame Controller card

• Ethernet connection betweeen the controlling computer and the openGear
frame

NOTE: The openGear frame ships from AJA with the MFC-8322-S Frame Controller card

for controlling the new AJA DashBoard cards. The openGear frame also supports
the MFC-0G3-N Advanced Networking Frame Controller card, which can be used
to control compatible OG cards.

DashBoard automatically discovers openGear and DashBoard Connect devices,
such as openGear frames and cards that are present and accessible on your
network.

Control Interface Basic Components

The basic components of the DashBoard Control System user interface consist of
the basic tree view of frames and cards, the card information and status panel,
and the parameter controls panel. These elements are shown below in Figure 6.

The basic tree view of frames and cards shows the frames and cards that are
discoverable by DashBoard on your network.

The card information and status panel, shown in the middle panel, display the
basic status of the card currently selected in DashBoard.

The parameter controls panel shows the tabs and parameters that the selected
card has available for configuration and control.

inputs), 1080p29.97 (for 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p30 (for 30 or 60
fps video inputs).

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 22 www.aja.com

1080p (high) - The output video format will be 1080p50 (for 25 or 50 fps video

inputs), 1080p59.94 (for 23.98, 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p60 (for 24,
30 or 60 fps video inputs).

NOTE: OG-FS-Mini converts 3G-A formats only. It does not input or output 3G-B.

Add 3:2 Pulldown

When the Add 3:2 Pull down box is checked, 23.98 fps and 24 fps video inputs are
converted to 29.97 fps and 30 fps, respectively, by adding 3:2 pull down before
conversion. Note that this selection is only used when the OG-FS-Mini module
is in Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, 3:2 pull down addition is
determined by DIP switch #6.

Up Convert

Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an HD output
video format. This selection is only used when the OG-FS-Mini module is in
Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the up convert mode is determined
by DIP switch #7. Choose from the following:

4x3 Pillar - Produces 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.

14x9 Pillar (default) - Produces 14x9 image, zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image

with black sidebars.

Full Screen - Produces anamorphic full screen display.

LB to Full Image - Produces image zoomed to fit the full screen (letterbox).

Wide Zoom - Produces an image sized to fit a 16x9 screen using a combination of

zoom and stretch. (This can introduce a small aspect ratio change.)

Down Convert

Determines the mode when converting from HD input video to an SD output
video format. Note that this selection is only used when the OG-FS-Mini module
is in Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the upconvert mode is
determined by DIP switch #8. Select from the following:

Crop (default) - Image is cropped to fit new screen size.

Anamorphic - HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio

(anamorphic).

14x9 - Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top

and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.

Auto AFD - 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 crop.

Letterbox - Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area,

with the aspect ratio preserved.

Aspect Convert

Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an SD output
video format. There is no DIP switch equivalent for this control. The setting
is saved in nonvolatile memory in the module and used for all subsequent
operation. Choose from the following:

Off (default) - The input image is copied to the output with no scaling.

Letterbox - The input frame is scaled vertically to a 16x9 "letterboxed" size

(anamorphic to letterbox conversion).

H Crop - The input frame is scaled horizontally to 16x9, then center-cropped

(anamorphic to center crop conversion).

OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.5.1 23 www.aja.com

Pillarbox - The input frame is scaled horizontally to make a pillarbox output (4x3

to anamorphic conversion).

V Crop - The input frame is scaled vertically to make a vertically cropped output

(letterbox to anamorphic conversion).

14x9 - The input frame is scaled horizontally and vertically as a compromise

between H Crop and Letterbox (anamorphic to 14x9 conversion).

Loss of Input

Determines what action is taken when input video is lost. These are the choices:

Black (default) - The output goes to black.

Freeze - The output freezes on the last good frame.

Mute - The output will go to no-video content (no signal). This can be used in

conjunction with a downstream signal loss capability that would not have
been triggered with a black signal.

Mute Delay

If Mute is selected from the Loss of Input control above, you can set a time delay
(0-15 seconds) for how long the switch to no signal occurs. The last good frame of
video is displayed during that delay time.

HDMI Tab Screen

Figure 18. OG-FS-Mini HDMI Tab Screen in DashBoard

Provides user selection of the HDMI output modes. There is no DIP switch
equivalent for these controls. The setting is saved in nonvolatile memory in the
module and is used for all subsequent operation.

NOTE: The HDMI video output always mirrors the SDI video output, both in content and

output format selection. Click on the Output tab to view and make changes to
the OG-FS-Mini output settings.

NOTE: When the output format is set to 1080PsF 23.98 or 1080PsF 24, the HDMI output

is converted to interlace because HDMI does not have a corresponding supported
format.
