Single Channel Mode
4K/UltraHD delivery, processing and synchronization is fast becoming the next standard, and FS4 gets you there with a wealth of digital video connectivity including Quad 1.5G, Dual 3G, Quad 3G over 3G-SDI and 12Gb/6Gb over optional 12G-SDI BNC and 12G-SDI LC Fiber SFP modules.
In single channel mode, FS4 will upscale your HD or SD materials to 4K/UltraHD and back, with a huge array of audio channels over Fiber, 3G-SDI, AES, and MADI for an incredible 272 x 208 matrix of audio possibilities.
Four Channel Mode
In four channel mode FS4 provides incredibly powerful multi-channel conversion with up to 4 channels of simultaneous processing for 2K/HD and SD signals. Powerful processing allows Region of Interest (ROI) scaling, colour correction, proc amp controls, motion adaptive deinterlacing and much more.
Multi-channel density in a 1RU Chassis. Space, energy and power Possibilities preserved.
New Thinking, New Interface
New thinking requires a new layout and FS4’s front panel has been redesigned to simplify and speed your access to the product’s wealth of features. The panel has also been designed to provide straightforward operation in single channel or four channel mode. In four channel mode, all four VIDx buttons under Channel Select are lit up. In single channel mode, only VID1 is lit and VID2-4 are off.
Up, Down, Cross-Conversion
Moving to 4K is never an instant change. Legacy signals and archival material need to be integrated into the 4K environment while 4K sources need to be down-converted for current 2K/HD pipelines.
Utilizing AJA's remarkable conversion algorithms, FS4 supports up, down, cross-conversion from SD, HD or 2K over 12G/6G/3G-SDI video to 4K or UltraHD video and back. Both Quadrant (Square Division) and 2SI (Two Sample Interleave) output formats are supported.
AJA's powerful hardware conversion technology ensures the highest image quality for your productions. Key conversion features include:
- 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD up, down-conversion
- SD/SD aspect ratio conversion
- HD/HD cross-conversion (720p/1080i)
All done in beautiful 10-bit with dedicated hardware.
Incredible Digital Connectivity
Video and audio deserve the connectivity and bandwidth required to meet the demands of your projects.
FS4 utilizes standard BNC as well as optional SFP inputs and outputs to integrate easily into a variety of workflows and facilities with support for SDI workflows all the way up to 12G.
FS4 has BNC and Fiber* inputs and outputs to accept 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD resolution SDI signals in Single Channel Mode. In Four Channel mode 2K/HD/SD inputs can be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without the need for any external signal distribution.
A looping Reference input allows the FS4 to be locked to your house reference signal for rock-solid stability.
Digital Audio can be disembedded and embedded between SDI, MADI and AES for an incredible array of routing possibilities.
12G/6G BNC and Fiber SFP Options
FS4's SFP options include both 12G/6G-SDI HD-BNC and Fiber I/O options, allowing great SDI flexibility and fibre cable runs of up to 10 kilometres to be connected directly to the FS4 without the need for separate fibre to SDI conversion.
Optional 12G/6G-SDI SFPs:
- HDBNC-2TX-12G: 12G/6G-SDI Dual Coax HD-BNC Transmitter
- HDBNC-2RX-12G: 12G/6G-SDI Dual Coax HD-BNC Receiver
- FIBERLC-2TX-12G: 12G/6G-SDI Dual Fibre LC Transmitter Single Mode
