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 cross-conversion 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.
NOTE: The Frame Rate Converter option for FS1-X is no longer available from AJA.
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 112 for a complete list.

Typical Applications
The FS1-X can be used in a very wide variety of video and audio signal conversion, adaptation, timing, and processing applications:
- Up/down/cross conversion between many SD and HD formats, including 1080p50/59.94.
- General purpose video frame synchronization.
- Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog audio/video conversion.
- Mux or Demux two separate HD signals from one 3G SDI signal.
- Convert 3G/HD/SD video over fiber to/from SDI (BNC).
- Use the built-in video processing amplifier to adjust and/or color correct.
- HD sidebar keying (black, matte, or identical format video).
- Routing audio signals from up to 224 audio inputs to various format audio outputs, by mapping sets of sources to outputs, with control of level and phase of individual audio channels, and control of delay on channel pairs.
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 | 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-to-FS1-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. |
| GPI Inputs and Outputs | 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 Interface Monitoring | SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions. |
Optional FS1-X Features
| Frame Rate Converter (FRC) | NOTE: The Frame Rate Converter option for FS1-X is no longer available from AJA.The factory installed Frame Rate Converter option enables conversions between the three video frame rate families:59.94/29.97/23.9850/2524The 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 conversionMulti field/frame 3D pixel by pixel motion adaptation1080p50/59.94 supportFormat and Frame rate conversion can be combined (for example, 625i/50 IN, 1080i/59.95 OUT) |

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.
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.
Operation Overview
About Inputs and Outputs
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 "About Reference and Genlock Source" below), then select an Input 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.
About Reference and Genlock Source
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.
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.
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. 2 Channel FS1-X Operation
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.
Sidebar Video Keying
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 Vide o 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.
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).

Chapter 2: Controls, Indicators, and Connections
Overview
The controls, indicators, and connectors illustrated and described in this chapter allow you to connect, operate, and monitor the FS1-X system and to troubleshoot problems if you encounter them. Becoming familiar with the FS1-X front and rear panels also simplifies system installation, setup, and operation.
Front Panel Description
Figure 2. AJA FS1-X Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Alphanumeric Display
The FS1-X's control system is designed to be quick and easy to use. The four-line alphanumeric display shows menus that are numbered and grouped by function. The menu groups are easily accessed using pushbuttons which correspond one-to-one with the groups (one button per menu group). The menu lines, which are 23 characters wide, display the following information:
- First line—parameter number and name.
- Second line—the editable value set for a parameter.
- Thir d and fourth lines—current status, labels, or prompts.
Figure 3. Four Lines of the Front Panel Display
When you edit a parameter containing multiple values, such as the IP address, the value currently being edited blinks.
Operational Summary
The nine front panel pushbuttons allow you to select display menu groups. The two knobs allow you to change menus and set parameters within the menu groups. These functions can be summarized as follows:
- Select a menu group: Press one of the ten pushbuttons.
- Scroll through menus in a group: Turn SELECT.
- Edit a menu parameter: Stop SELECT on the menu.
- Change a parameter value: Once the parameter is selected with SELECT, turn ADJUST to set the value. Changes apply in a few seconds.
- To edit a multiple part parameter, such as the IP address, push the ADJUST knob momentarily (the value blinks). To save the whole parameter after editing, push ADJUST momentarily again.
- Coarse adjust a value (for use with parameters that have more than 10 selections):
- 10x speed - Hold down the menu group button (the button turns blue) and turn ADJUST. The values will change in 10x increments.
- 100x speed (available for extremely wide-range parameters, like Audio Delay) - After enabling 10x speed above, momentarily release and press that group button a second time (the button turns light blue). Turning ADJUST will now change the value in 100x increments.
- Undo a change (restore previous setting): Push SELECT momentarily.
- Reset to factory default: Hold down ADJUST for 4 seconds.
Pushbuttons The general rules of Menu Group button operation are:
- Press one of the nine Menu Group buttons to access the associated menu group. The SELECT and ADJUST knobs control the display menus.
- The selected Menu Group button lights and the other buttons turn off.
• Each menu group returns to the last menu changed when you select the button. After a reboot, each group displays its first menu. - Hold down a button (turns blue) to make coarse adjustments using the ADJUST knob. Release the button to make fine adjustments. See "Coarse adjust a value (for use with parameters that have more than 10 selections):" on page 19.

LED Indicators
Indicators on the front panel are multi-state LEDs that light when a condition is present. They are conveniently arranged in groups to show specific subjects. For example, indicators for the two video processors are aligned in two columns with 1 and 2 labeling the tops of the columns.
The indicators and the conditions that cause them to light are as follows:
REMOTE A multicolor LED that indicates the current control mode:
- Green = Local Only (front panel control only)
- Red = Remote Only (remote browser or panel control only)
- Amber = Local + Remote (front panel and remote control both enabled)
VID IN 1/2 (blue) An active video input signal is detected for Channel 1 or 2.
UFC (blue The Universal Format Converter has been changed from the default setting.
PROC AMP (blue) The Proc Amp has been changed from the default setting (it's no longer at unity).
FMT ERR 1/2 (blue) The selected input and output formats are incompatible for Channel 1 or Channel 2.
FRC PRES (blue) Frame Rate Converter option is present.
NOTE: The Frame Rate Converter option for FS1-X is no longer available from AJA.
FRC ACTIVE (blue) Frame Rate Converter is actively converting frame rates.
REF (blue) The REF connector has an external reference video source applied.
KEYER (blue) Reserved for future use.
LAN (blue) The FS1-X is connected to an operational local area network. This indicator lights momentarily when web browser selections are changed.
EXT (blue flashing) Flashes when a remote control source (remote panel or GPI) has initiated a change in the system.
PWR 1/2 (blue) Power Supply 1 or 2 is operational and receiving power. Both PWR 1 and PWR 2 LEDs must be lit to indicate redundant power is available.
ID (blue blinking) Blinks on and off when you right- click on an FS1-X system name and choose Identify in the web interface Network list. This action helps identify which FS1-X you're controlling when multiple FS1-X units are operated from a single computer. The ID LEDs on the front and rear panels 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 (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
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).
Example Reference and Video Incompatibility Alarms
Video incompatibilities that the FS1-X may detect include the following examples:?
Table 2. Video Incompatibility Examples
| Video Incompatibility Detected | Alarm Status screen will show | Vid 1 Status screen will show |
| Genlock Source is set to “Reference”, but no Reference signal is detected. In this example the cable has been disconnected. | IN1 SDI 1 OKBKGD Matte OKGEN Ref No RefOUT1 1080i59 | IN1 SDI 1 525i59BKGD MatteGEN Ref No InputOUT1 1080i59 |
| Reference signal format is not compatible with selected Output Format. In this example the reference signal is 50 Hz but output is 59.94 Hz. | IN1 SDI 1 OKBKGD Matte OKGEN Ref No RefOUT 1080i59 | IN1 SDI 1 525i59BKGD MatteGEN Ref 1080i50OUT1 1080i59 |

Rear Panel Description
Connectors
The rear panel connectors are summarized below and described in detail in the next section:
P/S 1 and P/S 2
Two 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
16-Channel, 24-bit AES Input and Output on separate DB-25 connectors (Tascam pinout, see "Audio Connection Pinouts" on page 119).
Analog Audio Ch.1-8 In/Out
8 channel Balanced Analog Audio Input and Output on separate DB-25 connectors (Tascam pinout, see "Audio Connection Pinouts" on page 119). Audio A/D and D/A converters are 24 bit.
Caution!
Do not connect audio signals carrying phantom power to the FS1-X analog audio connectors.
MADI Fiber 64 channel MADI input and output, on separate Multi-Mode fiber connectors.
MADI BNC 64 channel MADI input and output, on separate BNC connectors.
GPI The GPI DB-15 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 118.
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 FS1-X functions. Alarms or loss of video can trigger the GPI outputs.
10/100/1000 LAN This RJ45 connector provides an Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for connection directly to a computer or to a LAN through an Ethernet hub or switch.
SDI Fiber In/Out (optional) Two optional Single-Mode Optical Fiber SFP modules support single- or dual-channel Fiber Input and/or Output. 3G/HD/SD SDI protocol is supported. Only AJA Optical Fiber SFP modules are supported—use of other manufacturer's modules is not supported and may void warranty.
SDI In/Out Digital video with embedded audio. Two SDI input and two SDI Output BNCs. 10 bit 3G/HD/SD SDI is supported.
HDMI In/Out HDMI In and Out is supported on HDMI connectors. Standard SD and HD video formats are supported, including support for 8 channel embedded audio. Also supports standard computer DVI video formats (input via a DVI to HDMI cable). HDCP (copy protected) HDMI video is not supported.
Component In/Out YPbPr/ RGB Video Component Analog Video is supported on 3x BNCs for Input and Output. Video A/D and D/A converters are 12-bit and support both SD and HD. YPbPr format is supported or the outputs can be switched to RGB.
NOTE: Unlike the other connectors, the set of three Component input connectors and the single Composite analog video input connector cannot be used simultaneously. You can choose either Component or Composite input, but not both. The same source video is also sent to both sets of analog video outputs.
Composite In/Out Composite NTSC or PAL standard definition Input and Output. Composite Video A/D and D/A converters are 12-bit.
Ref Loop The Reference Loop BNCs accept an Output timing reference signal. The reference can be 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 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:
- Unpack the shipping box, removing the FS1-X and two power cords.
- Install any physical options, such as fiber optic I/O modules or Dolb y I/O cards.
- 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 "FS1-X Chassis Installation" on page 29.
- 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.
- 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 "Networking" on page 30.
- 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 "Web Browser Control" on page 34 for details.
- Connect the FS1-X to system audio and video sources, including VTRs, monitors, DVD players, video switchers, and audio mixers. For details, see "System Cabling" on page 36.
- Test the FS1-X with all of your devices to verify everything is working.
Unpacking
Shipping Box Contents
An FS1-X chassis is shipped with two AC power cords, a user manual CD, and any late-breaking news bulletins (if applicable). Chassis rackmount brackets are provided as part of the chassis with screws.
Figure 5. Shipping Box Contents
AJA FS1-X Panel Chassis
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 FS1-X repaired or replaced.
NOTE: Save packing materials and the shipping box. If your FS1-X ever requires service or you move your system, use the packaging materials and box for safe shipment.
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
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
Cabling and Cooling 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.
NOTE: FS1-X units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate supply of cool air around the FS1-X vents.
Power Requirements
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)
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
The FS1-X ships from the factory set for DHCP networking, and can be manually reset to the following default network settings:
| IP Address 192.1 | 68.0.2 |
| 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.
Networking Using DHCP or Default Static IP
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:
- Press the CONFI G button.
- Turn the SELECT knob to n avigate to config parameter 2.2. Note on a piece of paper the DHCP-supplied IP address shown.
- 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:
- Set your computer's IP address to whatever address you prefer.
- Set the computer's Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most PCs default to the proper netmask when the address is set).
- 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 a dvance 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.
- 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 91 for details about configuring the FS1-X using a browser.
Networking the FS1-X 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:
- Select the CONFI G button and use the SELECT knob to navigate to parameter 2.1 IP CONFIG. Use the ADJUST knob to select Static.
-
Turn SELECT to n navigate to parameter 2.2 IP ADDRESS. The display shows the default static IP address: 192.168.0.2.
-
Change the IP address as follows.
A. Push the ADJU ST knob momentarily so that the first octet (set of numbers) blinks, and then turn ADJUST to change the numbers.
B. Turn SELECT to a dvance 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.
- Turn SELECT to advance to 2.3 Subnet Mask. Use the SELECT and ADJUST knobs as in the previous step to set the desired subnet mask.
- Turn SELECT to advance to 2.4 Default Gateway. Use the SELECT and ADJUST knobs as in the previous step to set the desired gateway address.
- Run a browser on the computer and type in the IP address you set for the FS1-X. You should now see the FS1-X's Status screen.
When you can access the FS1-X screens, turn to "Browser Remote Control" on page 91 for details about configuring the FS1-X using a browser.

Using Ping to Test the Network Connection
If you have connected the FS1-X to a computer and set up the IP address and still do not see the FS1-X 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 FS1-X as described below:
Mac Ping Procedure
- Find the Utilities Folder inside of the Applications Folder.
- Locate the "Terminal" utility application and double-click it.
- On the FS1-X, select the CONFI G button and go to parameter menu 2.2 to read the IP address.
- At the Mac terminal prompt, enter ping and the IP address noted in step 3. For example: ping 192.168.0.2
- If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and how long it took. For example: 64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms
- If unsuccessful, check the FS1-X network settings and resolve the problem with your IT administrator.
Windows PC Ping Procedure
- From the Start button, select the All Programs menu.
- Select Accessories/Command Prompt from the AI I Programs list.
- On the FS1-X, select the CONFI G button and go to parameter menu 2.2 to read the IP address.
- In the PC Command Prompt utility, enter ping and the IP address noted in step 3. For example: ping 192.168.0.2
- If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and how long it took. For example: 64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms
- If unsuccessful, check the FS1-X network settings and resolve the problem with your IT administrator.
Web Browser Control
To control the FS1-X from a web browser on a network attached computer, enter the FS1-X IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS1-X IP address were "90.0.6.31", you would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31. This topic is explained in greater detail in Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control.
NOTE: The webUI (browser GUI) will keep up with most changes initiated at the front panel. However, the webUI may not reconnect (displays "Disconnected") when network changes are initiated at the FS1-X front panel. To manually reconnect, type the new IP address into the browser, or click the browser Refresh button. Sometimes the browser caches the old FS1-X address. If you can't get the browser to connect, try clearing the Browser history to clear the cache, and then enter the new address again.
Software Update Installation
Although the FS1-X comes from the factory pre-installed with software, it may not be as up-to-date as software posted on our AJA website. This topic describes the steps required to update the software in your AJA FS1-X.
Download the Latest Software
Current and past releases of FS1-X software are available on the World Wide Web from AJA's website. To get the software, point your browser to the FS1-X support page, which will contain helpful FS1-X information and links to the updates:
http://www.aja.com/en/products/FS1-X#support
Once you're at the update page, you can select FS1-X software files to download to your Mac or PC for upgrading your local FS1-X machine.
Unpack the Software
FS1-X software update files are "ZIP" files that you can open with a number of standard and third party file compression applications. The software image that you'll install on the FS1-X is a file with a name like FS1-X_ver_1.0.0.0.bin or similar.
NOTE: Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the ".bin" extension may not be visible to you in a file directory.
Uploading and Installing the Software to the FS1-X
Uploading and installing the software update requires a PC or Mac that can "see" the FS1-X via its Ethernet connection. Follow this procedure to install the software:
- Point your browser at the FS1-X's upgrade page by clicking on the Update Firmware link at the bottom of the navigation box on the left-hand side of any FS1-X web page. The FS1-X web pages are discussed in Chapter 5.
Figure 8. Update Firmware Browser Screen.
- Click the Browse ... button to find and select the downloaded file. For example: FS1-X_ver_1.0.0.10.bin contained in the file downloaded from AJA.
- Click OK when asked if you want to Upload Firmware. The file uploads to the FS1-X and is tested for validity. Incomplete, corrupted, or non-FS1-X files are rejected. Wait for the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes. Progress bars show upload progress.
- Click C ommit Uploaded Firmware when prompted after the upload is finished. Progress bars show progress as the file is written to flash memory.
- Click Restart FS1-X with New Firmware to restart the FS1-X. This will take the FS1-X offline for a minute or two. During the restart, progress is shown in the connection area in the upper right corner of the FS1-X Status screen. After restart, the FS1-X will be running the new software.
- Once these steps are complete, the FS1-X will be running the software, and the Software Version on the Status screen shows the new version number. Check that the new software is running by bringing up the FS1-X web page again; the software version is displayed at the top of all FS1-X web screens. If the FS1-X did not update successfully, run through the update steps again.
NOTE: The configuration of the FS1-X prior to the upgrade is preserved. The unit returns to service exactly as it was before the upgrade.
If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1-X will boot the older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. This happens because the FS1-X has been designed with a safety feature where an internal "safe" copy of the previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails.
System Cabling
System Video/Audio Cable Connections
When installing your system, you'll make video and audio input/output connections. These connectors are explained individually in Chapter 2.
Caution!
Do not connect audio signals carrying phantom power to the FS1-X analog audio connectors.
GPI Connections
The FS1-X has four GPI inputs and four GPI outputs. The GPI inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from the power and ground on the FS1-X frame. Electrical isolation is provided for up to four pieces of external equipment.
See "GPI Pinouts" on page 118 for information on how to wire the GPI connector to work with external devices that you want to use to control the FS1-X or that you want the FS1-X to control.
FS1-X Audio Level Choices—Pro or Consumer, US or EBU
Since the FS1-X handles both digital and analog audio and can convert between the two, it provides analog and digital audio level settings in the front panel menus and the remote web browser. Standard practice typically sets the maximum audio level approximately 20 db above the operating (alignment) level, allowing enough headroom to handle peaks without clipping. Because different countries and equipment types use different operating and maximum levels, the FS1-X has several audio level settings. These settings allow you to set the relationship between the analog and digital audio levels to accommodate the equipment and audio operating standards you use.
The FS1-X offers four settings shown in the following table. The analog audio levels listed in the table are defined in reference to 0 dBFS (where FS = full scale), which is the maximum level that can be represented digitally. Note that the test method for these levels uses a 1kHz sine wave.
Table 5. FS1-X Audio Level Settings
| FS1-X Audio Setting Meaning | |
| +24 dBu analog = 0 dBFS maximum audio level | SMPTE standard (US)With digital audio at the maximum possible level (before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +24 dBu, and the output is scaled to this level.Typically, the US Standard Operating Level is +4 dBu analog or -20 dBFS digital. The FS1-X +24 dBu setting allows 20 dB of headroom (+4 to +24 dBu) per the SMPTE RP-155 standard. |
| +18 dBu analog = 0 dBFS maximum audio level | EBU standard (EU)With digital audio at the maximum possible level (before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +18 dBu, and the output is scaled to this level.Typically, the EU Alignment Level is 0dBu analog or -18 dBFS digital. The FS1-X +18 dBu setting allows 18 dB of headroom (0 to +18 dBu) per the EBU R68 standard. |
| +15 dBu analog = 0 dBFS maximum audio level | German standardWith digital audio at the maximum possible level (before clipping), the expected analog audio input level is +15 dBu, and the output is scaled to this level. |
| +12 dBu analog = 0 dBFS. maximum audio level | Consumer equipmentWith digital audio at the maximum level (before clipping), the analog audio input level is +12 dBu, and the output is scaled to this level. These levels are provided for consumer equipment that outputs lower audio levels than professional equipment.Consumer audio units are often given in dBV, with +12.2dBu equivalent to +10dBV. The standard operating level corresponds to -10dBV (-7.8dBu). The FS1-X +12dBu setting provides approximately 20 dB of headroom (+10 to -10 dBV). |
Stand Alone Tests
The stand alone tests can be performed without a computer, using the FS1-X front panel controls and rear connections.
The following procedures assume the FS1-X is at factory defaults (taken from a newly opened box). If not set to defaults, the FS1-X may behave differently.
First Power Up
The following workflow powers up the FS1-X and demonstrates some example alarms.
Setup
- Ensure the FS1-X is completely disconnected (all video, audio, network, and power connector ports are empty).
Procedure
-
Connect both FS1-X power cords to mains AC and allow time for the unit to boot up. Observe the front panel LEDs.
-
If the FRC PRES LED lights blue, your FS1-X is equipped with the FRC option and is able to operate in either 1 Channel or 2 Channel Mode. If this LED is off, your unit can only operate in 2 Channel mode.
-
The ALARM LED will light red, indicating an alarm condition, and the REF LED will be off. By default the F1-X is configured to operate genlocked to an external reference signal.
-
Press the front panel STATUS button, then turn the SELECT knob to view various Status menus.
- The Status menus will report No Input for the Video Processor video inputs (the ports are disconnected), and the GEN (Genlock) parameter will report Ref (configured for external reference) but will also report No Input or No Ref.
| Vid 1 Format Status screen Vid 1 Format Alarm Status screen | |||
| IN1 SDI 1 No InputBKGD BlackGEN Ref No InputOUT1 525i59 | IN1 SDI 1 OKBKGD BlackGEN Ref No RefOUT1 525i59 | ||
-
Connect a 525i color black reference signal to one of the FS1-X Ref Loop BNCs.
-
The front panel ALARM LED will go off and the REF LED will light blue, indicating no alarm exists and the FS1-X is genlocked to an external reference signal.
- The Status menu GENI based on Ref and indicate the format of the incoming reference signal or OK.
| Vid 1 Format Status screen Vid 1 Format Alarm Status screen | ||
| IN1 SDI 1 No InputBKGD BlackGEN Ref 525i59OUT1 525i59 | IN1 SDI 1 OKBKGD BlackGEN Ref OKOUT1 525i59 | |
NOTE: If you connect a 625i25 frame rate color black reference signal, the alarm condition above persists because the default FS1-X output frame rate setting is 29.97/59.94. To clear this alarm when using 625i25 reference, press the SYSTEM button, turn the SELECT knob to 9 Output Frame Rates, and turn the ADJUST knob to choose 50/25.
-
Disconnect one of the power cords, leaving the other attached.
-
The ALARM LED will light red, and the PWR LED of the power supply with the removed cord will turn off.
- Reconnect the power cable. The ALARM LED will turn off and the PWR LED will light.
This workflow confirms the FS1-X powers up successfully and reports reference and power supply alarms.
NOTE: FS1-X Reference, Power Supply, and Video Format alarms can be disabled, if desired,
Internal Test Signals to All Outputs
This workflow generates bars and tone and sends them to all the FS1-X outputs. This example uses the HDMI output connector for convenient monitoring, but any output can be used for that purpose. In the following procedures, where the terms select and adjust are used, turn the front panel SELECT and ADJUST knobs.
Setup • Connect the FS1-X HDMI output connector to an HDMI display equipped with audio monitoring using a standard HDMI cable.
Procedure

- Select 11 Global Audio Out and adjust to Sig Gen 1KHz.
You should now be able to see and hear the test signals on the HDMI display, and on any other devices connected to the FS1-X outputs.
This workflow confirms the FS1-X generates and outputs video and audio.
FS1-X Processing Examples
In the following procedures, your exact actions depend on which FS1-X interface you are using. Where the terms MENU NAME, select and adjust are used:
- On the front panel interface, press the indica ted Menu Group Selection button and then turn the SELECT and ADJUST knobs to choose the parameter and change the setting. The Front Panel menu numbers are included in the procedures.
- On the web browser interface, use your mouse to select the name of the Menu Screen and then choose the parameter and setting using the drop down list or slider. Menu numbers are not present on the FS1-X web pages.
SD to Sidebar HD over Matte
The following workflow demonstrates converting an SD SDI input to an HD SDI output with a matte sidebar background. If the input, reference, and output signal formats are all in the same frame rate family, this processing can be performed with or without the FRC option. This example uses a 525i59.94 input and generates a 1080i59.94 output.
Setup
- Ensure the FS1-X is receiving a valid reference signal.
- Connect a 525i59.94 SD SDI signal to the SDI1 input on the rear of the FS1-X. Once connected the FS1-X front panel VID IN 1 LED will light.
- Connect the FS1-X HDMI output connector to a compatible HDMI display.
- Connect the FS1-X SDI1 video output connector to a compatible monitor.
NOTE: The FS1-X factory default setting routes the output of Video Processor 1 to the SDI1, Fiber 1, HDMI, and Analog Video output connectors. All these outputs are active simultaneously.
Procedure 1. SYSTEM menu:
- Select 8 Genlock Source, and adjust to Reference.
- Select 9 Output Frame Rates, and adjust to 59.94/23.98.
2. VID EO OUTPUT menu:
- Select 1.1 SDI 1 Video Out, and adjust to Video Proc 1.
- Select 3 HDMI Video Out and adjust to Video Proc 1.
3. VIDEO PROC menu:

- Select 2 Video Output for adjustment to 1080i59.94.
- Select 3 Vid 1/2nd and adjust to Normal.
- Select 6 Background Fill and adjatte.
- Select 7 Upconvert Mode and adjust Pillar.
You should now see the processed sidebar image on the SDI and HDMI monitors.
- Select 11.3 Matte Hue and adjust to different degree settings. You should see the sidebar color hue change as you adjust.
This workflow confirms the FS1-X upconverts incoming video with matting.
HD to Letterbox SD over Video
The following workflow recalls the FS1-X to factory preset, downconverts a 1080i SDI input to 525i SDI letterbox, keys the letterbox over a second 525i SDI video input, and displays the result on the FS1-X Composite video output. This processing requires 2 Channel mode.
Setup
- Connect a10801i59.94 HD SDI signal to the SDI1 input on the rear of the FS1-X. This signal will be downconverted and letterboxed.
- Connect a 525i59.94 SD SDI signal to the SDI2 input on the rear of the FS1-X. This signal will be the background.
- Ensure the FS1-X is receiving a valid reference signal compatible with the SDI2 input.
- Connect the FS1-X Composite video output to an analog video monitor.
Procedure 1. PRESET menu:
- Select 1.0 Factory Preset anthratiset.
- Front panel interface: Push in the ADJUST knob momentarily.
- Web page interface: Select Factory Preset Recall.
This recall sets the following default values for this procedure:
• SYSTEM 1.1 Vid 1 Input is set to SDI 1
• SYSTEM 1.2 Vid 2 Input is set to SDI 2
- SYSTEM 3 Vid 1 Output Mode is set to Normal
• VIDEO OUTPUT 4 Analog is set to Vid 1.
- If the FRC option is present, go to the SYSTEM menu:
- Select 10 FRC Enable and adjust to Disable (this sets 2 Channel mode). This menu is not available on FS1-X units lacking the FRC option.
-
VIDEO PROC menu:
-
Select 2 Video Output Format, adjust to 525i59.94.
- Select 6 Background Fill, and adjust to Vid 2.
- Select 8 Downconvert Mode, and adjusterbox.
NOTE: The H and V Output Timing settings of both Video Processor 1 and 2 must also be identical. The factory Preset recalls 0 values.
This workflow confirms the FS1-X downconverts incoming video to letterbox, and can key over another incoming video signal.
Conversion Across Frame Rate Families
The following workflow converts a 1080i59.94 SDI input to 1080i50 SDI output, using the optional FRC. This processing requires 1 Channel mode operation. In this example frame rate conversion with and without the FRC option is demonstrated.
Setup
- Ensure the FRC is installed. The front panel FRC PRES LED must be lighted blue. The FS1-X Status web page FRC Option setting must read Present. The web page may also report Disabled, which is the FRC's normal state when it is not actively converting video.
- Ensure the FS1-X is using a valid reference. For this exam ple, if an external reference signal is used for genlock it must be 50 Hz to match the frame rate converted output. Alternatively the FS1-X can be set to Free Run.
- Connect a10801i59.94 HD SDI signal to the SDI1 input on the rear of the FS1-X. This signal must be moving video (not a static test pattern) to properly demonstrate frame rate conversion.
- Connect the FS1-X SDI1 video output connector to a compatible monitor.
Procedure 1. SYSTEM menu:
- Select 8 Genlock Source.
- If your external genlock signal is 50 Hz, adjust to Reference.
- Oth erwise select Free Run.
- Select 9 Output Frame Rates, and adjust to 50/25.
-
Select 10 FRC Enable and adjust to Enable (this sets 1 Channel mode). The FRC ACTIVE LED will light blue because it is converting 59.94 Hz video to 50 Hz.
-
Observe the monitor. Motion will be completely smooth without momentary jumps or discontinuities, and the FS1-X will not report any alarms.
To demonstrate non FRC operation and alarms, do the following:
- SYSTEM menu:
- Select 10 FRC Enable and adjust to Disable. The FRC ACTIVE LED will go off and the ALARM LED will light red, because this conversion requires the FRC. FS1-X status reporting will be as shown below:
| Vid 1 Format Status screen Vid 1 Format Alarm Status screen | |

Overview
The FS1-X can be controlled in two different ways: (1) direct control using the front panel buttons, knobs, and display menus, (2) remote control using a web browser. This chapter describes the first, using the front panel controls, which is the most direct way to configure and use an FS1-X. The other method, using a computer, is described in the next chapter.
In Chapter 2 we discussed the panel controls overall, so please read and understand that material first. In this chapter we discuss each of the Parameter Menus and their use. These are the topics covered:
- "Menu Operation Examples" on page 45
• "STATUS Menu Group" on page 48 - "REMOTE Menu Group" on page 51
- "CONFIG Menu Group" on page 54
- "PRESET Menu Group" on page 58
• "SYSTEM Menu Group" on page 59
• "VIDEO PROC Menu Group" on page 64
• "VIDEO OUTPUT Menu Group" on page 81
• "AUDIO PROC Menu Group" on page 83
• "AUDIO OUTPUT Menu Group" on page 88
Parameter Menus
The FS1-X display presents five major types of menu pages:
- Status pages—present status information that cannot be changed.
- Simple parameter menus—contain a parameter number and name on line 1 and its current value setting on line 2. The line 2 value can be changed using SELECT and ADJUST. Example: Output Format.
• "Take action" parameter menus—contain a pa rameter number and name on line 1, and the value to "take" on line 2. A "take" prompt may appear on line 3. The line 2 value can
be changed using SELECT and ADJUST, and the take or switch to the new value occurs when you press ADJUST momentarily. Examples: Preset Save/Recall.
- Multiple field parameter menus—con tain a parameter number and name on line 1 and its current value setting on line 2, consisting of multiple letter or number fields that must each be set individually. The line 2 fields can be changed using SELECT and ADJUST. Example: IP Address.
- Hidden parameter menus—a "parent" menu exists that, when that parent parameter is turned on, can display "child" menus of related parameters. When the Hidden Menus parameter is set to Hide Inactive, these child menus are hidden when the parent parameter is off. Some menu names contain a decimal (dot) number and zero, which indicates there are a group of related parameters. Example: 12.0 ProcAmp is the parent menu of the 12.1 through 12.4 child menus.
Menu Operation Examples
The following examples demonstrate typical menu operation. After this section, each Menu Group is described in detail.

STATUS Menu Group
The Status Menu Group contains a series of Status display pages that you can scroll using the SELECT knob. The various Status pages are actually just displays, not menus, since they don't include menu numbers or editable values. The ADJUST knob doesn't affect the Status display pages.
When you press the STATUS button, the display shows the first menu unless there is an active alarm. If an alarm is active, the relevant alarm status page is displayed first. If more than one alarm is active, the highest priority alarm page is displayed first.

NOTE: The IP parameters shown here on the STATUS menu group System Status menu are the actual settings of the Ethernet interface, as read from the interface. The CONFIG menu group IP configuration parameters show the values the FS1-X is supposed to use to configure the interface (they are read from memory). If there is ever a discrepancy between the two, the STATUS screen is the more correct.
REMOTE Menu Group
The REMOTE Menu Group lets you set up how you want the FS1-X to be controlled. Control options include the front panel, a remote computer running a browser, and GPI inputs and outputs.
NOTE: The Remote Menu Group parameters available on the front panel interact with the browser parameters available on an attached computer, and vice versa. For example, the Remote Control parameter can only be changed from the front panel, and when set to Local Only will deactivate all browser remote control parameters.
1 Remote Control
This parameter determines whether the FS1-X panel responds to controls locally from the front panel, from a network attached computer with a web browser, or both. The selected mode is indicated by the color of the REMOTE LED.
| Local + Remote (default) | Control the FS1-X from the front panel, a remote control panel, or a network-attached browser. The REMOTE LED lights amber. |
| Local Only | Control the FS1-X only from the front panel (browsers cannot change parameters). The REMOTE LED lights green. |
| Remote Only | Control the FS1-X only from a network attached browser or remote control panel. The REMOTE LED lights red. |
1.1 Authentication
This parameter enables or disables an authentication login requirement. By default this parameter is set to Disabled.
When you select Login via the front panel parameter, you must then go to the browser interface to perform a login each time you access the FS1-X. The browser presents the login screen first, requiring you to log in before you can access any other browser screens. The password is initially set to the default value, but you can change it using the Remote browser screen.
The default password is password.
NOTE: If authentication is used, it provides only a minimum security safeguard against unauthorized use of the FS1-X. The authentication mechanism is simple and does not provide robust security.
| Disabled (default) | Disables the requirement for a login password. No password is needed. |
| Login | Login is required via the web browser interface before changes can be made in FS1-X. After selecting Login, depending on the browser a new browser window may be necessary (i.e. just a page refresh or reload may not get rid of the login page). |
2.1–4 GPI IN 1–4 Response
The setting of this parameter determines what happens when a GPI trigger is received at the FS1-X's GPI Inputs (1–4). A GPI Trigger is defined as a TTL low voltage level (0 to 0.8V with respect to its isolated ground pin). The GPI interface pinout and specifications are
discussed in "GPI Pinouts" on page 118. Input video sources selected by GPI trigger remain selected until the trigger is released. GPI Inputs light the front panel EXT LED when triggered.
| No Action (default) | Performs no action. |
| PRESET 1–10 | Recalls the specified PRESET configuration. |
| Vid1 Freeze | Freezes the current Vid 1 video frame at its outputs. Freezing stops when the GPI trigger is released. |

3.1-4 GPI 1-4 OUT
The setting of this parameter determines whether certain FS1-X events will generate a GPI trigger output at GPI outputs 1, 2, 3, or 4. The GPI interface pinout is presented in "GPI Pinouts" on page 118.
| No Action (default)AlarmNo Video 1No Video 2No Ref | Does not trigger a GPI output regardless of event.Generates a GPI out trigger if an internal alarm condition occurs.Generates a GPI out trigger if no video is detected at the input.Generates a GPI out trigger if no video is detected at the input.Generates a GPI out trigger if no video is detected at the Ref input. |
Interaction of Presets and GPIs
If you use a GPI input trigger to recall a preset, the recall changes the GPI IN Response setting to whatever GPI IN Response setting the preset contains. As the following examples explain, this feature offers both the power of serial recalls and the possibility of triggering a recall that changes GPI IN Response to something unintended.
Example of a Serial Recall
The advantage of using GPI IN Response with presets is that you can trigger a series or even a looping series of preset recalls. For example, suppose GPI IN 1 Response in Preset 1 is set to Preset 2, and GPI IN Response in Preset 2 is set to Preset 1. Triggering the GPI will toggle between the two presets.
Example of an Unintended Recall
Suppose you trigger GPI IN 1 while the current GPI IN 1 Response parameter is set to Preset 1. This recalls Preset 1 as expected. However, suppose Preset 1 contains a stored GPI IN 1 Response setting of No Action. If you trigger GPI IN 1 later, expecting to recall Preset 1 again, the FS1-X instead performs No Action. To prevent unexpected changes in the GPI IN Response parameters, set these parameters as desired before storing presets; in the example, set GPI IN 1 to Preset 1 before you store Preset 1.
CONFIG Menu Group
The CONFIG Menu Group includes parameters for setting up the FS1-X's network, system name, SNMP, alarm, and screen saver configurations.
1 System Name
This parameter defines a unique name for the FS1-X. This same name is used both when displaying systems via the web interface and when displaying the FS1-X's screen saver.
| Variable | Set the system name, up to 20 characters. Default: aja-fs1-x |
Name Entry Procedure Set the name as follows:
- Push ADJUST momentarily to enter character editing mode.
- Turn SELECT to advance the blinking cursor to each character.
- Turn ADJUST to scroll through the choices for each character. These characters are allowed: A through Z (uppercase), a through z (lowercase), numerals, hyphen (-), period (.), and space (blank). Leave the desired character selected and advance to the next one.
- Push ADJ UST to save and activate the name after all characters are defined.
- To abandon changes before saving, push SELECT.
- To return to the default name at any time, hold down ADJUST.
NOTE: To eliminate trailing characters to shorten an existing system name, overwrite them with a hyphen (-) or space.
2.1 IP Config
This parameter determines the type of TCP/IP network configuration used by the FS1-X. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
| DHCP (default) | Select automatic IP address assignment from the LAN DHCP server. If the FS1-X cannot find a DHCP server, it fails over to the static IP address. |
| Static Addr | Assign a static IP address manually (using the following parameter menus).The factory default static IP address: 192.168.0.2 |
2.2 IP Address
This parameter determines the static IP address used by the FS1-X for TCP/IP networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
| IP Address variable | If IP Config is set to DHCP dynamic addressing (default), the IP Address is set automatically by the network's DHCP server.If IP Config is set to Static Addr, manually enter an IP address.If IP Config is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is set to the static IP address. The factory default static IP address is 192.168.0.2. |
Octet Value Entry Procedure
Set the octets (numbers between periods) values as follows:
- Push ADJUST momentarily to enter edit mode.
- Turn SELECT to select the octet you want to edit, indicated by blinking.
- Turn ADJUST to enter the new value.
- If you need to revert to the previous setting (undo changes), push SELECT.
- Push ADJUST momentarily to save and activate the new setting.
- If you want to revert to the default value, hold down ADJUST for 4 seconds.
2.3 Subnet Mask
This parameter determines the subnet mask used by the FS1-X for TCP/IP networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
| Subnet Mask variable Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for Static IP configurations.If 2.1 is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user.If 2.1 is set to Default Addr, the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 |
2.4 Default Gateway
This parameter determines the gateway or router used on your LAN for TCP/IP networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/gateway or not), the FS1-X will be unable to see other FS1-Xs on the network, although you may still be able to control this FS1-X via a web browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined, the discovery feature on the Network web page will fail to list other FS1-Xs on the network.
| Gateway Address variable Enter the address of the gateway or router used to connect the FS1-X to the network. Default: 192.168.0.1 |
3 MAC Address (view only)
Selecting this parameter allows you to view the MAC address. The MAC address is a unique value associated with the FS1-X's internal network adapter. MAC addresses are also known as hardware addresses or physical addresses. MAC addresses uniquely identify an Ethernet adapter on a LAN.
MAC address format: MM:MM:MM:SS:SS:SS
The value is 12-digit hexadecimal, where the first half identifies the manufacturer and the second half identifies the unique serial number.
4 SNMP Menu Parameters
The following parameters are used to setup the FS1-X SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) feature.
• 4.0 SNMP Enable
• 4.1 SNMP Trap Destination 1
• 4.2 SNMP Trap Port 1
• 4.3 SNMP Trap Destination 2
• 4.4 SNMP Trap Port 2
In addition, the following parameters described below may affect SNMP messages:
• 5 Power Supply Alarm
• 6.1 Vid1 Format Alarm
• 6.2 Vid2 Format Alarm
• 7 Reference Alarm
Refer to "Chapter 6: SNMP on page 109" for a description of SNMP and how the FS1-X supports it.
5 Power Supply Alarm
This parameter controls how the FS1-X alarm responds to power supply disconnection or failure. If the FS1-X will be connected using only one power cord and supply, you can suppress the alarm. Changes to this setting are automatically saved.
| Normal (default) | Alarm triggers if either internal power supply experiences a failure or is disconnected from mains power. |
| Suppress | Alarm will not be triggered by a power supply failure or disconnection from power. |
6.1 Vid1 Format Alarm
When set to Normal (default), an alarm is triggered whenever the selected input video signal format of Video Proc 1 is incompatible with the selected output format (refer to the matrix of inputs and compatibilities presented in Chapter 2). If you want the FS1-X alarm to only trigger on hardware failures, you can suppress the Format Alarm. The front panel Vid 1 FMT ERR LED lights when format errors are detected even if this parameter is set to Suppress. Changes to this setting are automatically saved.
| Normal (default) | Alarm triggers if the format of the selected input video signal is incompatible with the selected output format. |
| Suppress | Alarm will not be triggered by a format incompatibility. |
6.2 Vid2 Format Alarm
This parameter operates the same as "6.1 Vid1 Format Alarm" above, but applies to the input video signal format of Video Proc 2.
7 Reference Alarm
This parameter controls how the FS1-X responds when one of the Video Processors has a format that is incompatible with the Reference video signal. When set to NORMAL, the alarm triggers if the Reference signal is not detected or is incompatible with the processor format. If you want the FS1-X Reference alarm to trigger only on hardware failures, you can suppress the alarm. Changes to this setting are automatically saved.
| Normal (default) | Alarm triggers if the reference signal is not detected or is incompatible with the processor format. |
| Suppress | Alarm will not be triggered by reference errors. |
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.
8 Hidden Menus
This parameter lets you choose whether to hide or show inactive menus.
| Hide Inactive (default)Show All | Hides menus that are not in use.Shows all menus, even those that are not in use. |
9 Screen Saver This parameter lets you choose the menu screen saver.
| On (AJA Logo) (default) System Name | AJA logo screen saver is displayedScreen saver displays the system name. |
10 Display Intensity
This parameter determines the brightness of the alphanumeric display and front panel LEDs.
| Variable | Dim or brighten the alphanumeric display and activity indicator LEDs in steps from 1 (dim) to 8 (brightest). Default: 6 |
11 Fan Speed
This parameter determines the speed (and sound level) of the FS1-X's internal cooling fans. To prevent system damage, this setting may be overridden temporarily, and the fan can be set to a higher speed if the system detects very high internal temperatures. Changes to this setting are automatically saved
| Variable | Changes the fan speed in steps from 1 (slow) to 10 (fast).Default is 10. |
12 Serial Number This parameter displays the FS1-X's unique serial number.
13 Software Version This parameter displays the FS1-X's software version number.
14 Reboot
This parameter lets you reboot the FS1-X. Press and hold in both front panel knobs simultaneously to reboot.
During reboot, the display shows [Rebooting], goes dark momentarily, and then shows the percentage of progress as the system reboots. Rebooting takes a couple of minutes.
The PRESET Menu Group provides the means of saving, editing the names of, and loading FS1-X presets. A preset is a set of all System, Video, Audio, and most Config parameters as they were set at the time the preset was stored.
Caution!
When you recall a Preset Configuration, the recalled preset immediately replaces the system's existing configuration. All previous settings are lost unless you have previously stored them in another preset configuration or an exported file.
During recall, the display reads, Recalling until the recall is finished. On recall completion, the displays show the success or failure: Recalled, Failed, or Empty. A failed or empty recall does not recall anything and leaves the FS1-X as it was. (Preset registers are empty until you store something in them.)
During a store, the display reads Storing until the store is finished. On store completion, the display shows Complete or Failed. A failed store does not store anything and leaves the preset register as it was. To retry a failed store, turn SELECT to another preset number and then back to the desired preset number.
1 Factory Preset This parameter recalls a read-only Factory Preset.
| Factory Recall | Recalls factory values for all System, Video, Audio, and most Config parameters. Push ADJUST momentarily to perform (take) the recall. The display reports “Loading” and “Complete” during the recall. User preferences, network settings, and existing Presets are not affected by recalling the Factory Preset. |
1.1-1.40 Presets #1-#40 These parameters let you recall, edit the name of, and store an FS1-X preset configuration for the selected storage register. Forty storage registers are available.
| Preset #1–#40 | Shows the currently selected preset register number. Turn SELECT choose the desired register. Then turn ADJUST to choose Recall, Edit Name, or Store for the selected register. |
| [Preset Name] | Shows the name of the selected preset register, which can be edited. |
| Recall | Recalls that preset. Push ADJUST momentarily to perform (take) the recall. The display reports “Loading” and “Complete” during the recall. |
| Edit Name | Enables editing the name of the preset register. Push ADJUST to enable editing (blinking character), use the SELECT and ADJUST knobs to edit the name and then press ADJUST to save the edited preset register name. |
| Store | Stores the current set of all System, Video, Audio, and most Config parameters to the selected preset register. |
Video with Audio Routing
Presets can be used to coordinate audio and video routing. Store and name presets that match the desired audio inputs to each desired video input, and use those presets to select the video inputs, causing the configured audio to follow.
Interaction of Presets and GPIs
Triggering presets using GPI inputs offers considerable power but also requires some care to avoid unexpected results. If you plan to trigger presets using GPIs, please see the information about the "Interaction of Presets and GPIs" on page 54.
SYSTEM Menu Group
The SYSTEM Menu Group includes parameters for setting up various FS1-X system related features (video formats, audio level standards, etc.
1 Analog In Format
This parameter configures the format of the Analog (i.e. Component or Composite) video inputs, for SMPTE, Beta, or Composite. When SMPTE or Beta are selected, the three Component BNC inputs will be used. When Composite is selected, the single Composite BNC input will be used.
| SMPTE YPbPr (default) | Configure the Component Video Input source as SMPTE YPbPr. This is the default for HD component video. |
| Beta YPbPr | Configure the Component Video Input source as Beta YPbPr (standard definition). |
| Composite | Choose the Composite Video input connector |
2 Component Out Format
This parameter configures the format of the Component video output for SMPTE, Beta, or RGB.
| SMPTE YPbPr (default)Beta YPbPRGB | Configure the Component Video Output as SMPTE YPbPr. This is the default for HD component video.Configure the Component Video Output as Beta YPbPr (SD).Configure the Component Video Output as RGB. |
3 Analog Audio Std
This parameter sets the Analog Audio Input and Output levels of the FS1-X with reference to full scale digital (0 dBFS). Selections range from consumer levels (+12 dBu) to SMPTE professional (+24 dBu).
| +24 dBu (default) | Select +24 dBu as the expected analog audio level. |
| +18 dBu | Select +18 dBu as the expected analog audio level. |
| +15 dBu | Select +15 dBu as the expected analog audio level. |
| +12 dBu | Select +12 dBu as the expected analog audio level.(Above settings correspond to maximum amplitude-0 dBFS) |
NOTE: See Chapter 3 FS1-X Audio Level Choices—Pro or Consumer regarding audio levels.
4 SDI1 3G Detect
This parameter configures 3G operation of the SDI 1 video input.
| Auto Detect (default) | Automatically detects presence of 1080p50/60 or Dual Stream video. |
| 1080p50/60 | Configures the SDI1 input for 1080p50/60 (single) video. |
| Dual Stream | Configures SDI 1 for Dual Stream 3G video (uses SDI 1 and SDI 2 in Input Crosspoint matrix). |
In Auto Detect mode, the hardware looks for SMPTE 352 Payload ID ANC data on the video inputs to determine whether there are two independent 1080i signals (Dual Stream) or a single 1080p50/60 signal. If there is no SMPTE 352 data, the default is to assume 1080p50/60 (single), but you can manually instruct the FS1-X to always assume either 1080p50/60 or Dual Stream by selecting one of those choices.
In 1080p50/60 mode, the system always assumes that the input is a single 1080p50/60 signal (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary).
NOTE: The 50/60 text in the menu and description above actually refers to 50/59.94 video. The FS1-X does not support 30 or 60 frame rate video.
In Dual Stream mode, the system always assumes (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary) that the input consists of two multiplexed independent 3G video streams. The signals are demuxed as shown.

5 SDI2 Input Protect
This parameter allows you to protect Input SDI 2 from being taken by a Dual Stream selection made with SDI1 3G Detect above.
| Normal (default) Dual Stream | SDI2 cannot be used by Dual Stream 3G SDI video on SDI Input 1. Allows SDI2 to be used by a Dual Stream 3G SDI input present on SDI 1. |
In the Normal setting (default), the SDI 2 video signal always comes from the SDI 2 physical input. Choosing Auto Detect or Dual Stream in SDI1 3G Detect does not switch away from the physical input.
In the Dual Stream setting, the FS1-X assumes both channels of Dual Stream 3G video are muxed onto a single wire at the SDI1 input. The SDI 2 video signal is then taken internally from the SDI 1 Stream 2 signal instead of the SDI2 In connector.
The following table shows the selections and their results. In the table, SDI1-1 and SDI1-2 are the two muxed streams entering the SDI1 Input.

6 Fiber1 3G Detect
This parameter configures 3G operation of the Fiber 1 video input, using settings similar to "4 SDI1 3G Detect" on page 59.
7 Fiber2 Input Protect
This parameter allows you to protect Input Fiber 2 from being taken by a Dual Stream selection, using settings similar to "5 SDI2 Input Protect" on page 60.
8 Genlock Source
This parameter selects the source of reference video used for genlock, either automatically or explicitly. The same setting is applied to Video Processor 1 and Video Processor 2
| Reference (default)Vid 1 InputFree run | Use the signal on the Ref connector as the genlock source.Use the Vid1 input signal as the genlock source.Free run mode (FS1-X syncs to its own timebase, not locked to an external source). |
NOTE: HDMI can be used as a reference, but HDMI is not a valid reference source when the signal on the HDMI input originates from a VESA-format computer DVI signal.
9 Output Frame Rates
This parameter selects the HD video frame rate associated with the video standard.
| 59.94/23.98 (default) | Select 59.94/23.98 if your desired rate is either 59.94 or 23.98. |
| 50/25 | Select 50/25 if your desired rate is either 50 or 25 (PAL). |
| 24 | Select 24 if your desired rate is 24. |
NOTE: Changing the Frame Rates selection automatically selects a new value for "2 Output Format" on page 65. Each Frame Rates selection remembers its own Output Format settings.
10 FRC Enable
NOTE: The Frame Rate Converter option for FS1-X is no longer available from AJA.
This parameter Enables or Disables the factory installed Frame Rate Converter (FRC) option, if present. When present, the FRC PRES LED on the FS1-X front panel will be ON.
| Enable (default) | Enables the FRC The FS1-X will operate in one channel mode, using only Video Processor 1, and will activate the FRC when required. |
| Disable | Disables the FRC. The FS1-X operates in two channel mode (using both Video Processors 1 and 2), using add/drops for frame rate conversion. |
In the Enable setting, when supported FRC format conversion is being performed the FRC ACTIVE LED on the FS1-X front panel will be ON, and its status will be reported as Active on the front panel display and web pages. If the FRC is not actively being used for conversion, the FRC ACTIVE LED will be off, and its status will be reported as Bypass on the front panel and web pages. The Enable setting also disables Video Processor 2, which will report a No Output status, 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.
In the Disable setting, advanced Frame Rate Conversion is disabled (add/drop frames will be used instead), and both Video Processor 1 and Video Processor 2 become available for use.
NOTE: This parameter menu is not available if the FRC option is not installed.
NOTE: The FRC must be disabled or not installed to do Reverse Telecine. See "FS1-X Reverse Telecine Conditions" on page 81.
11 NTSC Standard
This parameter selects the NTSC video standard. This setting only applies when parameter "9 Output Frame Rates" is "59.97/23.98".
| NTSC (default) | Select NTSC for North America. |
| NTSC Japan | Select NTSC for Japan. |
| PAL M | Select PAL-M for Brazil. |
The NTSC standard applies to both the Output video standard, and the expected Input video standard. The FS1-X does not convert NTSC to PAL-M, or vice-versa.
12 Composite Downconv
This parameter selects the type of down conversion performed on the incoming selected HD source input for the analog composite (NTSC or PAL) video output.
| 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 the mode specified in parameter menu "8 Downconvert Mode". |
| Letterbox | Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area, with the aspect ratio preserved. |
NOTE: Using the Downconverter adds a frame of video delay, making the analog Composite output be one frame behind the other outputs.
13 HDMI RGB Range
This parameter selects the output range for HDMI YCbCr. Full allows a range of 0-255 and SMPTE limits the range to 16 to 235 (see note for details).
NOTE: YCbCr luminance (Y) channel data ranges nominally between 16 (black) and 235 (white). Values outside of this range are typically clamped to the valid range. This may cause confusion because JPEG JFIF YCbCr values range between 0 and 255. Mixing these values
causes video contrast shifts. You can avoid these shifts if you maintain one range of values throughout your system.
| Full (default)SMPTE | Selects an HDMI luminance output range of 0-255.Selects an HDMI luminance output range of 16-235. |
14.0 AES/EBU SRC Mode
This parameter controls the mode of the audio sample rate converters for AES/EBU input audio pairs.
| Auto (default) | The system decides how to handle sample rate conversion. AES signal pass normally through the Sample Rate Converters, unless a non-audio flag is set in the Channel Status Word. |
| Manual | The FS1-X determines what to do about audio sample rate conversion on a channel pair-by-pair basis, determined by the following Channel Pair menu settings. |
In Auto mode, normal PCM audio passes through the Sample Rate Converters and gets converted, as appropriate. AES channels in which the non-audio flag is set in the Channel Status Word are automatically detected and allowed to bypass the Sample Rate Converters; the signal passes unaltered and the existing data is preserved.
In Manual mode, the sample rate converters are turned ON or bypassed manually for each AES pair using the following Channel Pair menus. If a channel pair is set to Bypass, the FS1-X leaves embedded audio as is, bypassing sample rate conversion. This is useful for Dolby® 5.1 embedded audio and other applications where you do not want sample rate conversion to occur.
14.1–14.8 AES/EBU SRC
This group of parameters controls audio sample rate conversion on AES/EBU input audio channel pairs 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16. When AES/EBU SRC Mode is set to Manual, these menus become available, allowing each channel pair to be set manually to On or Bypass.
| On (default) | Audio sample rate conversion (SRC) is applied to the affected channel pairs and keeps the video and audio synchronized. |
| Bypass | Audio sample rate conversion (SRC) is NOT applied to the affected channel pairs. The signal is passed through unaltered. |
On is the default setting in which audio is rate-converted and synced with video (SRC is applied).
Bypass is available for use when Dolby ® 5.1 and similar schemes need to be preserved and the audio data passed unaltered (no SRC is applied).
Set these parameters to Manual and Bypass only if BOTH the following items are true:
- You want to pass unaltered digital encoded audio from either an embedded or AES Input to an embedded and/or AES Output.
- You have the embedded or AES input genlocked to the FS1-X output. In other words, the encoded audio will not survive the frame-sync function (dropping or repeating frames) so it needs to be set to lock to the input. You can lock to a reference only if that reference is driving both the FS1-X and the upstream source of the embedded or AES input to the FS1-X.
15.1 MADI BNC Out
This parameter controls the number of MADI channels sent to the MADI BNC output connector. When the FS1-X receives 56 channels and outputs 64 channels, active silent channels 57 to 64 are added. When the FS1-X receives 64 channels and outputs 56 channels, channels 57 to 64 are dropped.
| 64ch (default)56ch | Sixty four audio channels selected for MADI BNC output.Fifty six audio channels selected for MADI BNC output. |
15.1 MADI Fiber Out
This parameter controls the number of MADI channels sent to the MADI Fiber output connector. When the FS1-X receives 56 channels and outputs 64 channels, active silent channels 57 to 64 are added. When the FS1-X receives 64 channels and outputs 56 channels, channels 57 to 64 are dropped.
| 64ch (default)56ch | Sixty four audio channels selected for MADI Fiber output.Fifty six audio channels selected for MADI Fiber output. |
VIDEO PROC Menu Group
The following descriptions explain the Video Proc Menu Groups. The Video Proc menu displays are formatted as follows
| Display Description | |
| MENU # TITLEPARAMETER VALUE | Menu number and title.Currently selected parameter value for this menu. |
| INPUT | FORMAT Processor 1 Input Output Format |
The currently selected Input video source and output video format for Video Processor 1 is reported on the bottom line of each menu.
Video Input and Output
These parameters perform input video source selection for the selected Video Processor (1 or 2). Multiple input sources are available at the connectors on the FS1-X rear panel, but the active input source routed to the selected Video Processor is the one you select here.
1.1 Video 1 Input
| SDI1 (default) | Select SDI1 as the input source. |
| SDI2 | Select SDI2 as the input source. |
| SDI DualLink | Select SDI DualLink, linking both SDI inputs as the input source. |
| Fiber1 | Select Fiber1 as the input source. |
| Fiber2 | Select Fiber2 as the input source. |
| Fiber DualLink | Select Fiber DualLink, linking both Fiber inputs as the input sources. |
| HDMI | Select the HDMI input as the input source. |
| Analog | Select Analog as the input source. Component or Composite analog video is set with “1 Analog In Format” on page 59. |
Source Memory
Changing the Video Input selection automatically selects new values for Proc Amp parameters and Color Corrector (RGB) parameters. Each video source remembers its own Proc Amp and Color Corrector settings. This is referred to as Source Memory.
Dual Link
Dual Link referred to here is 1080p50/59.94 on two 1.5 Gb HD-SDI connections. Selecting Dual Link as the Video Input for Video Processor 1 or 2 will allocate both SDI Inputs for Dual Link use. Both Processors can use the Dual Link Input, or if only one Processor is using it, the other Processor is free to select another input. The Fiber inputs operate the same way.
1.2 Video 2 Input Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
2 Output Format
This parameter defines the output format of the Video Processor 1. Available choices depend on the frame rate selection.
| Follow INPUT (default) | Follow the format of the selected Video Processor 1 input. Note: The Video Processor 2 output format always follows the Video Processor 2 input format. |
| Follow REF525i/625iframe rate>720pframe rate>1080iframe rate>1080PsFframe rate>1080pframe rate>2K1080pframe rate> | Follow the format of the reference input (Ref). Select 525i/625i SD as the output. Select 720p HD as the output. Select 1080i HD as the output. Select 1080PsF HD as the output. Select 1080p HD as the output. Select 2K1080p HD as the output. |
Output Format Selection Constraint
Available frame rates depend on System menu "9 Output Frame Rates" on page 61 parameter setting.
Output Timing Memory
Changing the Output Format selection automatically selects new values for H & V timing parameters (see "Timing and Delay" on page 66). Each Output Format mode remembers its own H and V timing settings.
The Output Format selection is remembered for each of the frame rates. If you change the Output Frame Rate ("9 Output Frame Rates" on page 61), the Output Format setting associated with the newly selected frame rate is recalled.
3 Video 1 Output Mode
The parameter sets the final video output of Video Processor 1 to normal video or the test pattern generator. Alarms occur if conflicting video formats are selected.
| Normal (default)Test Pattern | Normal video is output from the processor.The output of the test pattern generator. |
NOTE: Normal output for the Video Processor 1 can be a version of its currently selected input, a Sidebar or Letterbox display, a Freeze of last good video, or Black, depending on how the Video 1 process or has been configured.
Loss of Input
This parameter selects the automatic action that occurs if the video input is lost. The Black selection (default) cuts the video to black. The Freeze selection freezes video on the last available good frame.
4.1 Video 1 Loss of Input
| Black (default) | Switches to black if input video is lost. |
| Freeze | Freezes on the last available good video frame if input is lost. |
4.2 Video 2 Loss of Input Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
Timing and Delay
These parameters adjust Video Processor horizontal and vertical output timing in reference to the genlock source already selected, and permits adding up to 6 full frames of output delay.
NOTE: Unlike most knob-adjustable parameters, on the front panel menu this parameter automatically wraps around from the maximum value to 0 (and vice versa).
Output Timing Memory
Independent horizontal and vertical timing values are kept for all available output formats.
Output Timing Ranges
The table below lists the output timing ranges for various video frame rates.

NOTE: The table above is intended for reference only. It includes 30 and 60 frame rates that are not supported by the FS1-X.
5.1 Video 1 Output Timing H
When adjusting the horizontal timing (H), this parameter specifies a number of pixels to offset, from zero to full line width. Adjustment range increments from 0 to the width of the line in pixels. The maximum value varies, depending on the format already chosen.
| Variable | Adjustment range increments from 0 to the width of the line in pixels. The maximum varies, depending on the format chosen. Default: 0 |
5.2 Video 1 Output When adjusting the vertical timing (V), this parameter specifies a number of lines to offset, moving the screen up to a half a frame up or down. Timing V
| Variable | Adjustment range increments from half a frame up to a half a frame down in single line increments. The maximum varies, depending on the format already chosen.Default: 0 |
5.3 Video 1 Frame Delay This parameter adjusts Video Processor output timing.
| Variable | Adjustment output timing from 0 to 6 frames down in one frame increments.Default: 0 |
NOTE: This delay amount is in addition to the default video delay, which is nominally two frames at low frame rates (25/30 fps) or four frames at high frame rates (50/60 fps).
5.4 Video 2 Output Timing H Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
5.5 Video 2 Output Timing V Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
5.6 Video 2 Frame Delay Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
Background Fill
This parameter selects the background source used to fill any part of the processor output raster not filled with video from the main input video. For example, when the Video Output Mode selection is Sidebars, this parameter selects the video source for the Sidebars.
6 Background Fill
| Black (default)Video 2Matte | Selects black as the background fill video.Selects the output of Video Processor 2 as the background fill video. Only available when operating in 2 Channel mode.Selects matte as the background fill video. |
Upconvert and Downconvert
These parameters select the type of upconversion the Video Processor performs on the selected SD source input, or the type of downconversion performed on the selected HD source input.
NOTE: Any Custom Size/Pos values will be applied on top of these Upconvert and Downconvert settings (except when Downconvert Mode is set to AUTO AFD).
NOTE: When converting to or from 2K, the selections do not precisely describe the resulting picture. For example, 4x3 pillar is not precisely 4x3, and 14x9 is not precisely 14x9. However, picture scaling is such that the visual effect closely resembles an SD-to-HD upconvert.
7 Upconvert Mode
This parameter selects the type of upconversion performed by the Video Processor. This parameter is in effect only when the input is SD (525i or 625i) and the selected output format is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p), or when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the output is 2K (2048 x 1080). See the following Upconvert Illustrations for examples.
| 4x3 Pillar (default)14x9 PillarFull ScreenLB to FullWide Zoom | Results in 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.Results in 14x9 image, zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black sidebars.Anamorphic full screen display.Image is zoomed to fit the full screen (letterbox).Using a combination of zoom and stretch, the image is sized to fit a 16x9 screen (this can introduce a small aspect ratio change). |

8 Downconvert Mode
This parameter selects the type of downconversion performed by the Video Processor. This parameter is in effect only when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the output format is SD (525i or 625i), or when the input is 2K (2048 x 1080) and the output is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p). See the following Downconvert Illustrations for examples.
| 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). |
| 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. If the input video is not carrying an AFD VANC code, the Downconverter defaults to the mode specified in parameter menu "17.3 Downcvt AFD Dflt" on page 78. |
| Letterbox | Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area, with the aspect ratio preserved. |
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 FS1-X 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 the input 16:9 HD 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 eight are in common use. The FS1-X does not process or use SD AFD codes.
FS1-X AFD processing (passing, removing, and re-inserting) occurs based on the setting of parameters "8 Downconvert Mode" on page 69, "12 Composite Downconv" on page 62, and "AFD" on page 76.
Auto AFD mode fully defines the size, position, and aspect ratio of the output raster. Thus, when in Auto AFD mode (Output Format set to an SD format, with an HD video input, and Downconvert Mode set to Auto AFD), any Custom Size/Pos settings are ignored, and those menus are hidden. Likewise, when in Auto AFD mode, any Region Of Interest settings are ignored, and those menus are hidden.

SD Aspect Ratio
This parameter selects the type of SD-to-SD Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) performed on an incoming selected SD source. This parameter 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.)

Sidebars
The parameter adjusts the sidebar position where the center video meets the pillarbox background video on both sides. The underlying hardware feature is the same as Custom Right Crop and Custom Left Crop. This is effectively an extra handle on the Left Crop and Right Crop parameters.
The Crop and Sidebar Edge controls are additive; increasing Sidebar Edge (making the sidebars larger and the center-video smaller), equates to setting Left and Right Crop values to smaller percentages. The Sidebar Edge can be set to 0 through +128. A value of 0 produces a 4:3 center. Positive values produce wider sidebars (and a narrower center).

Custom Conversion Settings The custom settings determine the image size and shape for Upconvert and Downconvert modes if you choose the Custom selection for those modes. Custom settings are stored separately for each Conversion Mode. Values for each of the Upconvert modes, Downconvert modes (excluding AFD), and SD Aspect Ratio modes (excluding OFF), plus no conversion (or HD CrossConvert), are independently stored. NOTE: If Custom Size/Pos is On and any of the following parameter are not set to unity, the front panel UFC LED lights.
14.0 Custom Size/Pos This parameter turns custom image settings On or Off.
When Hide Inactive is on, the Custom Size/Position controls are only displayed when Custom Size/Pos is On. When Custom Size/Pos is Off, modified parameters are skipped in the menu system, and the UFC hardware is programmed for unity.
This menu is also not displayed when Active Format Description (AFD) is in control of the Conversion Mode. While downconverting, with Downconvert Mode set to Auto AFD, any values assigned for Custom Size/Pos parameters are ignored, and the menus are hidden.
| Off (default)On | Sets this parameter and related custom size/pos parameters to off.Enables this parameter and related custom size/position parameters. |
14.1 Custom Size This parameter changes the H and V size of the output picture by the specified percentage (%) while maintaining the current aspect ratio.

Region of Interest (ROI)
The Region of Interest parameters select a portion of the input picture that will be used for scaling and/or positioning. The selected area can then be scaled to a standard pillarbox or letterbox size and shape (On Square), or it can be set to a full screen input image (On Full).
NOTE: On Full may cause image distortion if it is used to expand an odd-shaped region of interest to full screen.
The ROI Setup mode allows you to preview the edges of your selected Region Of Interest as you set it up. After selecting the desired region using the Setup Cursor, you can take the region to air by setting Region Of Interest to On Square or On Full.
The Setup mode is not required to operate the ROI feature. The edges of the Region Of Interest can also be adjusted while in On Square or On Full modes
15.0 Region of Interest
This parameter turns the Region of Interest settings On or Off. When enabled, the ROI Left, Right, Top, and Bottom controls define the rectangular shape and position of the ROI.
| Off (default) | Turns off the ROI feature. |
| Setup | Enables ROI cursor. |
| On Square | Enables ROI and sets video to a pillarbox or letterbox shape. |
| On Full | Enables ROI, and expands the ROI area to full screen. |
Interactions occur between ROI settings and other parameters:
- The Region of Interest menu is displayed when Active Format Description (AFD) is in control of the Conversion Mode. While downconverting, with Downconvert Mode set to Auto AFD, any values assigned for ROI parameters are ignored.
- Custom Size and Position settings work interactively with ROI, but Custom Crop settings are disabled. Custom Size/Pos is also temporarily disabled while in the ROI Setup mode.
15.1 ROI Left This parameter sets the left boundary of the ROI.
| Variable (default=100%) | Sets ROI left boundary to 10-100% of full screen in 0.1% increments. For 1% increments, hold down the Video button. |

15.3 ROI Top This parameter sets the top boundary of the ROI.
| Variable (default=100%) | Sets ROI top boundary to 10-100% of full screen in 0.1% increments. For 1% increments, hold down the Video button. |
15.4 ROI Bottom This parameter sets the bottom boundary of the ROI.
| Variable (default=100%) | Sets ROI bottom boundary to 10-100% of full screen in 0.1% increments. For 1% increments, hold down the Video button. |
Video Legalizer
These parameters allow adjustment of signal levels to meet legal broadcast requirements.
16.0 Video Legalizer
This parameter determines the Video Legalizer mode. When set to Off, the Video Legalizer is not enabled, and the following clip controls are not active. In YUV mode, the White Clip, Black Clip, and Chroma Clip controls are enabled and clip any luma/chroma that exceed the set limits. In RGB mode only the White Clip and Black Clip controls are active and limit the R, G, and B values to those settings. RGB mode requires the video to pass through the RGB Proc Amp to be converted to and from RGB.
| Off (default)YUVRGB | Disables the Video Legalizer.Enables the Video Legalizer to clip YUV to legal levels.Enables the Video Legalizer to clip RGB to legal levels. |
16.1 Legalizer White Clip
When the Video Legalizer mode is YUV or RGB, this parameter limits the white level so that it does not exceed the adjusted limit. Limit can be set from +80 IRE to +120 IRE.
| Variable Adjusts white clip | level from +80 IRE to +120 IRE in 0.5 steps.Default (unity): 100 IRE |
16.2 Legalizer Black Clip
When the Video Legalizer mode is YUV or RGB, this parameter limits the black level to the adjusted limit. Limit can be set from -10 IRE to +20 IRE.
| Variable | Adjusts black level limit from -10 IRE to +20 IRE in 0.5 steps. |
| Default (unity): 0 IRE |
16.3 Legalizer Chroma Clip
When the Video Legalizer mode is YUV, this parameter limits the maximum chroma level to the adjusted limit. The limit can be set from +60% to +140%.
| Variable Adjusts chroma clip level from +60% to +140% in 0.5 steps. | |
| Default (unity): 100 IRE | |
AFD
These parameters determines if and where the Video Processor will insert a SMPTE 2016 Active Format Descriptor (AFD) packet into its output video. The inserted AFD code does not affect the Video Processor's up/down/cross conversion, but it may affect downstream video processing if the signal is Downconverted.
NOTE: AFD codes are only inserted into HD video outputs.
17.1 AFD Out These determines whether the Video Processor inserts an ADF packet into the output video.
| OFF (default) | The FS1-X does not insert an AFD code into the output. If the video input has a AFD code and the FS1-X is not up/down/cross-converting it, the input AFD code will be passed through to the output. |
| Auto If the FS1-X is not Upconverting or Downconverting the input video, the input AFD code is passed through. If there is no AFD code on the input video, a “Full Frame” (8) code is inserted. If the FS1-X is Upconverting, the appropriate AFD code will be chosen based on the Upconvert mode. | |
| >16:9 | The FS1-X always inserts a “Box > 16:9 (center)” AFD code (4), which indicates that the HD image has an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 as a vertically centered letterbox within the 16:9 frame. |
| Full Frame | The FS1-X always inserts a “Full Frame” AFD code (8), which indicates that the HD image is full frame, with an aspect ratio that is 16:9. |
| Pillarbox | The FS1-X always inserts a “4:3 (center)” AFD code (9), which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio as a horizontally center pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame. |
| Letterbox | The FS1-X always inserts a “16:9 (with complete 16:9 image protected)” AFD code (10), which indicates that the HD image is full frame, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and all image areas are protected. |
| 14:9 | The FS1-X always inserts a “14:9 (center)” AFD code (11), which indicates that the HD image has a 14:9 aspect ratio as a horizontally centered pillarbox within the 16:9 frame. |
| 4:3 Alt 14:9 | The FS1-X always inserts a “4:3 (with alternate 14:9 center)” AFD code (13), which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio and with an alternative 14:9 centered pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame. |
| 16:9 Alt 14:9 | The FS1-X always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 14:9 center” AFD code (14), which indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 14:9 center within the 16:9 frame. |
| 16:9 Alt 4:3 | The FS1-X always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 4:3 center)” AFD code (15), which indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 4:3 center within the 16:9 frame. |
17.2 AFD VANC Output Lines This parameter determines which video output lines have AFD VANC inserted (HD output only) on the Video Processor output.
| 10 (default)9–42 | Adds AFD VANC to line 10.Select which line other than 10 will have AFD VANC added. |
17.3 Downcvt AFD Dflt
This parameter selects how the Video Processor will operate when parameter 7 Downconvert Mode has been set to Auto AFD and no AFD codes are detected at the selected input source (that is, this menu selects the default Downconversion to use when AFD is absent). This parameter is in effect only when the input is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).
| Hold Last (default) Use the last detected AFD code and continue to use its aspect ratio until a new AFD code is detected again in the SDI metadata. | |
| Crop When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to Crop. | |
| Anamorphic When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to Anamorphic. | |
| 14:9 When AFD c | ode is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to 14x9. |
| Letterbox When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to Letter box. | |
Closed Captioning
This parameter translates closed captioning from the SD CEA-608 format on line 21 to the HD CEA-708 format and inserts it into the HD output video stream.
NOTE: This parameter interacts with parameter 20 SD Line 21 Blanking; see the explanation for that parameter also.
18 Caption Xlator
| On (Upconverter) When | set to On and using the Upconverter, the FS1-X will automatically translate incoming line 21 captions to CEA-708 format and insert the VANC packets into the converted HD video stream. This is a complete translation from CEA-608 format to CEA-708 format (including the embedded SD captions). |
| On (Downconverter) When | set to On and using the Do wnconverters, the FS1-X will automatically intercept and reformat the SD caption data in the incoming CEA-708 VANC packets, and output it on line 21 of the standard definition outputs. |
| Off (default) When Off, | caption translation is not performed. |
In standard definition video (525i59.94), closed captioning data is encoded and sent on line 21 of both fields, using a format defined by the Consumer Electronics Association standard, CEA-608. This is traditionally called "line 21", "SD", or "608" captioning, and is used for analog composite, analog component, and serial digital (SDI) video.
In high definition video, closed captioning is encoded and sent as Vertical Ancillary (VANC) packets in SDI video, using a format defined by the Consumer Electronics Association standard CEA-708 (there is no equivalent for analog HD video). This is traditionally called "HD," "DTV," or "708" captioning. The data formatting and encoding for 708 captions is very different from the data contained in 608 (SD) captioning, reflecting the added features and capabilities available with the CEA-708 standard.
When the Caption Translator is on, the FS1-X Upconverter automatically translates incoming line 21 captions to CEA-708 format and inserts the VANC packets into the converted HD video stream. This is a complete translation from CEA-608 format to CEA-708 format (including the embedded SD captions).
The FS1-X Downconverters automatically intercept and reformat the SD caption data in the incoming CEA-708 VANC packets, and output it on line 21 of the standard definition outputs.
Input Scan and PSF
This parameter determines how the Deinterlacer handles interlaced vs. PsF inputs. Normally, this control will only be used to indicate that a 1080PsF25 input is PsF and not interlaced.
Auto When Auto is selected, the system will look for clues in the source's SMPTE 352 (Payload ID) data and respond accordingly. If there is no SMPTE 352 information, the system will assume that 23.98/24 fps sources are PsF, and 25/29.97/30 fps sources are interlaced.
Progressive
When Progressive is selected, the system will assume that all sources are PsF (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary).
Interlaced
When Interlaced is selected, the system will assume that all sources are interlaced (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary)
19.1 Video 1 Input Scan Format
| Auto (default) Deinterlacer detects input source pa yload ID data and sets the processing format accordingly. | |
| Progressive Assumes all input sources are progressive. | |
| Interlaced Assumes all input sources a re interlaced. |
19.2 Video 2 Input Scan Format
Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
SD Line 21 Closed Caption Blanking
This parameter determines whether the FS1-X blanks line 21 closed captioning data prior to video processing of an SD 525i video input. (Line 21 normally occurs at the top of the raster in the overscan area of video, so the presence of captioning data or blanking does not interfere with the visible SD or Upconverted video.)
20 SD Line 21 Blanking
Blank
In Blank mode, the FS1-X copies and remembers the contents of SD line 21 and then blanks those lines before transformation to ensure captioning data does not get included in the transformed video. If the output video is SD 525i, the copied caption information gets reinserted on line 21 of the output. If the output video is Upconverted and parameter 18 Caption Xlator is On, the copied caption gets translated into an HD caption and inserted into the transformed output (and if the caption translator is Off, the HD output does not contain caption data). This is the setting to use if the SD input includes a caption and you want to retain it at the output (parameter 18 Caption Xlator must be On), or you want to blank it at the output (18 Caption Xlator must be Off).
Pass
In Pass mode, the FS1-X does not blank line 21 of the SD video input and passes the unaltered video to the Video Processor for transformation. This is the setting to use if there is no captioning data present on line 21 of a 525i video input.
Auto blank
In Auto Blank mode, the FS1-X automatically detects presence or absence of line 21 caption data on the SD input. If no line 21 caption is present, the FS1-X passes the video unaltered. If line 21 data is detected, the FS1-X copies the data, blanks line 21, and reinserts translated captioning on the transformed HD output if parameter 18 Caption
Xlator is On. If the Caption Translator is Off, the HD output will not contain captioning. This is the setting to use if your SD input video sometimes contains captions and other times does not, or if you are uncertain which setting to use.
| Blank (default) In Upconvert or SD Aspect Ratio Convert modes, this setting copies caption data and blanks 525i input video Line 21 caption data before conversion, and may or may not include that data (see above). |
| Pass Passes input video unaltered to the converter and to the outputs. |
| Auto blank The FS1-X automatically detects captio n data on SD input, passing unaltered video if no line 21 caption is present, and reinserting caption data if 18 Caption Xlator is On. |
Test Pattern
This parameter selects the video source for the Test Pattern Generator. The pattern generator is turned off and on using Output parameter "3 Video 1 Output Mode" on page 65.
21 Video 1 Test Pattern
| 75% Bars (default) Sets the test pattern to 75% bars. | |
| Ramp Sets the test pattern to ramp. | |
| Multiburst Sets the test pattern to a multiburst. | |
| Flat Field Sets the test pattern to flat field chroma. | |
| Black Sets the test pattern to black. | |
| 100% Bars | Sets the test pattern to 100% bars. |
Freeze Output
This parameter tells the FS1-X to freeze the current video frame on all outputs. This may be useful either for testing or in case of loss of the input source.
22.1 Video 1 Freeze Output
| Off (default) | Normal operation. The FS1-X outputs video from the input. |
| On | The FS1-X captures and freezes the most current video frame and displays it on the outputs as long as this parameter is set to On. |
The freeze feature can be controlled not only by the front-panel and web browser interface, but also by a GPI input. When a GPI input is causing the freeze condition, the EXT lamp will be lit on the front-panel.
22.2 Video 2 Freeze Output
Same settings as above, but affects Video Processor 2.
Reverse Telecine
About Reverse Telecine and Film Cadence (3:2 and 2:3:3:2)
Film cadence is a way to convert film frame rates (24 fps) to i59.94 interlaced field rate video suitable for broadcast, commonly employed by telecine equipment when converting film to video. This requires a 4/5 conversion ratio. For 3:2 pulldown cadence, the most common, two fields are duplicated for every four input frames, with a resulting
2:3:2:3 field output pattern. 3:2 pulldown outputs four fields of original input, then one duplicate field, then four more original fields, and then another duplicate field. This provides the smoothest motion, but results in two of the five video output frames being "dirty", having fields from different original frames. Another commonly used film cadence is 2:3:3:2, which has only one "dirty" frame but results in motion that is slightly less smooth. Many other more exotic film cadences exist, but they are rarely used.
Film cadence removal reverses pulldown (Reverse Telecine), and can turn interlaced video originally sourced from film with pulldown back to 23.98 progressive frame rate video, removing the duplicated fields. This can be useful for post-production facilities that have a need to accurately re-edit this type of material.
FS1-X Reverse Telecine Conditions
The FS1-X converter can perform film cadence removal under the following conditions:
• Frame Rate Converter must be disabled (or not installed).
- FS1-X input signal must be either 525i59.94 or 1080i59.94.
- FS1-X input signal must have consistent 3:2 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown.
- FS1-X output format selected must be either p23.98 or PsF23.98.
• The Reverse Telecine parameter must be set to Auto.
Under the conditions above, the FS1-X will automatically detect the type of film cadence (3:2 or 2:3:3:2), identify and remove the duplicate fields, and perform motion detection and de-interlacing processing to create high quality output with clean frames.
NOTE: Approximately 10 incoming frames are required before film cadence can be detected and correctly processed. If the cadence pattern changes (for example, the source pulldown video may have been edited) that same approximately 10 frame interval is required after the discontinuity to detect and process the new cadence pattern.
23 Reverse Telecine
| Off (default) | Film cadence detection is disabled. This setting should remain Off unless you are processing interlaced pulldown input. |
| Auto 3:2 and 2:3:3:2 pull down field removal is enabled for interlaced video sources. | |

28.0 Mix Down 1 Mode
This parameter activates the Mix Down 1 mixer, and selects either 5.1 or 7.1 mix down mode for that mixer.
| Off (default)5.1 Channel7.1 Channel | Mix down feature is turned off.Selects 5.1 mix down mode.Selects 7.1 mix down mode. |
When set to 5.1 or 7.1 Channel Mode, additional menus follow that are used to select the source of the incoming multi-channel audio, adjust the levels of each of the incoming channels to the Left and Right outputs, and adjust the gain of the Left and Right output channels.
About Mix Down Mode
Multi-channel audio uses more than two speakers to represent the sound field.
Figure 13. Multi-Channel 5.1 and 7.1 Speaker Positions
Multi-channel audio, typically embedded in an SDI or HDMI signal, can be passed through the FS1-X converter unchanged. The multi-channel sound can also be mixed down to stereo, using the two Mix Down Modules built into the FSI-X audio processor.
The default FS1-X 5.1 to 2 ch. mix-down equation is:
Left Ch Output = LF + (-3dB * CTR) + (-3dB * LR)
Right Ch Output = RF + (-3dB * CTR) + (-3dB * RR)
The default FS1-X 7.1 to 2 ch. mix-down equation is:
Left Ch Output = LF + (-3dB * CTR) + (-3dB * LS) + (-3dB * LR)
Right Ch Output = RF + (-3dB * CTR) + (-3dB * RS) + (-3dB * RR)
These default settings can be adjusted using the front panel menus or web interface.
NOTE: The LFE channel is not used in the stereo mix down output, but is passed through the FS1-X audio routing matrix.
28.1 Mix Down 1 Input
When 5.1 Channel or 7.1 Channel is selected above, this parameter selects the source of the multi-channel audio coming into that mixer.
| SDI 1(default)SDI 2Fiber 1Fiber 2AES/EBUMADI BNCMADI FiberHDMI | Selects the indicated source. The channel assignments are as follows. All unused channels are muted:Input Ch 1 - Left FrontInput Ch 2 - Right FrontInput Ch 3 - CenterInput Ch 4 - Left RearInput Ch 5 - Right RearInput Ch 6 - LFE (not used in mix down output)Input Ch 7 - Left Surround (mute in 5.1 mode)Input Ch 8 - Right Surround (mute in 5.1 mode) |
| Analog | Selects Analog source channels. Channel assignments same as SDI. |
| Sig Gen 1KHzSig Gen 400Hz | Routes the indicates signal generator to all the active multi-channel inputs. |
| Map This parameters activates a series of related menus to map a specific input channel to each of the 5 or 7 mixer input channels. | |
28.2 - 28-8 Mix Down 1 Input Mapping (LF, RF, CTR, LR, RR, LS, RS)
When Map is selected above, these menus permit the mapping of any FS1-X audio input channel or signal generator to any of the mixer inputs (L Front, R Front, Center, L Rear, R Rear, and in 7.1 mode L Surround and R Surround). Each mixer input can also be turned Off (muted). Default setting is Off.
28.9 - 28.14 Mix Down 1 Input Level
In Mix Down Mode, multi-channel input channels are mixed to the Left and Right output channels. The level of each input signal sent to its mixed output can adjusted plus or minus 18 dB, in half dB increments, using these menu controls.
The default settings are set to the basic equations above, and are listed below.
| LF Level | 0 dB (unity) to Left output. |
| RF Level | 0 dB (unity) to Right output. |
| CTR Level | -3 dB from unity to both the Left and Right outputs. |
| LR Level | -3 dB from unity to the Left output. |
| RR Level | -3 dB from unity to the Right output. |
| LS Level (7.1 mode only) | -3 dB from unity to the Left output. |
| RS Level (7.1 mode only) | -3 dB from unity to the Right output. |
NOTE: The LFE channel is not used in the stereo mix down output, but is passed through the FS1-X audio routing matrix.
28.16 - 28.17 Mix Down 1 Output Lft Rt Level
The level of the Left and Right mixer output signal can adjusted plus or minus 18 dB, in half dB increments, using these menu controls. Default is 0 dB (unity).
29.0 Mix Down 2 Mode
This menu, and the following related parameter menus, have the same controls as for Mix Down 1 Mode, but apply to the Mix Down 2 processor. See "28.0 Mix Down 1 Mode" on page 86.
30.0 Mix Down Reset
This parameter resets all of the mix down levels (five or seven input, two output) for the selected mixer to the factory defaults.
..
| Mix Down 1Mix Down 2 | Resets the Mix Down 1 mixer levels to default settings.Resets the Mix Down 2 mixer levels to default settings. |
34 Embedded Audio Out
This parameter selects whether or not audio is embedded in the SDI1/SDI2/Fiber1/Fiber2 outputs. This setting affects both Video Processors 1 and 2
| On | The output of the Audio Processor is embedded in the Video Processor output. |
| Mute | Audio packets are embedded, but they are set for silence. |
| Off | No embedded audio (HANC) is generated. |
AUDIO OUTPUT Menu Group
The Audio Output Menus control the FS1-X's audio routing. Any audio input can be routed to any output, including embedded audio. The general routing procedure using the FS1-X front panel is to select the menu of the audio output with the Select knob, and then select the input source you wish to route to that output with the Adjust knob.
Channel mapping allows different sources to be routed to different outputs
1.0 SDI1 Audio Out
This parameter selects the Audio Input Sources for the SDI1 audio output channels.
The factory default for each output is the corresponding input: i.e. SDI1 to SDI1, SDI2 to SDI2, etc.
| SDI1SDI2Fiber1Fiber2AES/EBUMADI BNCMADI FiberHDMIAnalog | The selected source channels are routed to the corresponding output channels. If the output has more channels than the source, mute (silence) is routed to the higher numbered output channels. If the output has fewer channels than the source, the sources are routed to the lower numbered output channels. |
| Sig Gen 1KHzSig Gen 400HzMute | The selected tone or mute is routed to every output channel. |
| Map The currently configured mapping is applied to each output channel. Channel mapping menus for each output become available. | |

Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control
Remote FS1-X Control Via a Web Browser
The FS1-X web interface consists of a built-in optimized web server that provides control via a web browser running on a network-attached computer. The FS1-X browser screens are presented and described on the following pages, organized as they appear in the browser.
Supported browsers • Chrome (all platforms)
- Firefox (all platforms)
- Safari (OSX, Mobile)
- Internet Explorer (versions 10 and higher)
Other browsers are likely to work but are not guaranteed.
Supported RJ45 Ethernet network connections
- Closed local area network (LAN)
- Straight computer-to-FS1-X cable connection
- Broadband wide area network (WAN) with the firewall opened for the FS1-X (not recommended since anyone on the internet can then access the FS1-X)
Internally the FS1-X senses and adapts to either a "straight-through" CAT 5 Ethernet cable or null-modem (crossover) cable using standard RJ45 connectors. No setup or strapping is needed to adapt to the cable.
Browser connection
For browser access, enter the FS1-X IP address in the browser's address field.
By default, the FS1-X is set to automatically connect to your network's DHCP server to get an IP address and other network configuration data. You will find the IP address in the CONFIG Menu Group as follows:
- Press the CONFI G button on the FS1-X front panel.
- Turn the SELECT knob until you reach parameter IP Address.
- Enter the IP address shown in the browser address field.
When the browser successfully connects to the FS1-X, the main Status screen shown on the next page is displayed. If the browser fails to connect, make sure CONFIG settings for IP, Subnet, and Gateway match the network setup of the browser host. You can either make the computer match the FS1-X, or make the FS1-X match your computer.
General Web Browser Screen Description
The main Status screen appears below. All FS1-X screens have common elements:
Menu On the left of each screen is a navigational list of the available FS1-X screens. Click any of these items to jump to that screen.
Alarms The lower left side of the screen shows a alarms that alert you to possible problem conditions, such as disconnected or failed power supplies and video format incompatibilities.
Status and Menu Display
In the center of each screen you'll find the main display showing the status and menu selections for the screen you are viewing. The content of FS1-X web screens closely mirrors the parameter menus displayed on the front panel. On all menus except Status, if you hover the cursor over any parameter, the equivalent front panel parameter number is displayed.
Connection
The right side of the screen lists FS1-X system details, including system serial number, installed software version, and connection status. This information is useful if you ever have to call AJA Technical Support for help.
Network
The right side of the screen lists systems on the network. If you right-click any FS1-X system in the list and select Identify, the ID LEDs on the unit will blink to identify it. Click on Identify again to stop the blinking. Another way to identify systems is to notice which FS1-X system's EXT front panel LED flashes when you change any setting from a remote control device, such as the web browser.
Figure 14. FS1-X Web Interface, Main Status Screen
Controlling Multiple FS1-Xs
From any screen, you can see at-a-glance all of the FS1-X devices present on the same local LAN as well as the current FS1-X you are controlling. Clicking on any of the listed systems will bring up the Status screen of that FS1-X.
NOTE:
The FS1-X you control may be running a different software version, so screens may look different. It's a good idea to have all your FS1-X devices running the most current software and the same version. Also, if the Default Gateway (parameter 2.4) is not configured properly,
other FS1-Xs will not be visible. If the display shows No FS1-X's found, check the gateway setting.
Resetting Values To Factory Settings
FS1-X web browser screens feature many user controls that can be reset to factory values by simply "right-clicking" on the parameter label. When you right-click, the browser displays a Reset to Factory message that will cause the parameter to be reset.
NOTE:
This reset procedure only works with computers that allow right-clicking. Some computers may not permit this operation.
You can perform a global reset to factory values of all System, Video, Audio, and most Config parameters (the same set of parameters acted on by a Preset Recall).
To perform a global reset:
- Go to the Preset s screen.
- Click on the Recall butt on in the Factory Preset row.
User preferences, network settings, and existing Presets are not affected by recalling the Factory Preset.
Drop Down Parameter Operation
Most FS1-X parameters available on the browser are selected from a drop-down list. The currently active parameter is displayed. Click on the down arrow symbol next to the parameter to display the list and select an alternative value. The FS1-X will immediately operate with the new setting.
Slider Operation
Some screens contain slider controls for setting values. To set a value, you can click on a slider to select it and then use the mouse to drag the slider to the position you desire. For fine tuning, while the slider is selected (highlighted by a blue border), use the keyboard left and right arrow keys to change the value one unit at a time. After setting a slider's position, click on the page's background area (blue highlight turns off) to ensure the change is confirmed and saved.
Sub-Menus
Some parameters, when activated, open sub-menus. The sub-menus are a lighter gray color and have a collapse/expand button on the parent selection. This lets you collapse the sub-menus to make it easier to configure the system. The collapsed setting only stays in effect until the user reconnects or refreshes the browser.
Screen Descriptions
Now that you have had an introduction to how the FS1-X browser works and how to navigate the screens, each screen and its settings are described in detail. The screens are described in the order listed on main screen (click to jump):
- "Network Pane and Network Configuration Screen" on page 94
- "Alarm Configuration Screen" on page 96
- "Status Screen" on page 97
• "System Screen" on page 98 - "Config Screen" on page 99
- "Presets Screen" on page 101
• "Video Proc Screen" on page 103
• "Video Output Screen" on page 104
• "Audio Proc Screen" on page 105
• "Audio Output Screen" on page 106
• "Remote Screen" on page 107
• "Firmware Screen" on page 108
Network Pane and Network Configuration Screen
The Network pane on the right side of any screen lists the FS1-X systems that appear on the network. This pane includes three additional controls:
• Hover the cursor over any system name to see its IP address.
- Right-click any system and select Identify to blink the system ID LEDs.
- Click the gear-shaped icon in the Network pane (or select Network from the Menu list on the left side of the screen) to open the Network Configuration screen listing FS1-X network settings.
The Network Configuration screen allows you to view and change your FS1-X's network settings and then click Apply to activate them.
See "Networking" on page 30 for detailed setup instructions for connecting the FS1-X to a network. Consult your network administrator about how to configure network settings.
IP Address Type
IP Address Type determines the type of TCP/IP network configuration used by the FS1-X. DHCP enables the FS1-X to connect to the network DHCP server, which assigns the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway automatically. Static lets you set these parameters manually.
NOTE: If the IP Address Type is DHCP, the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway are gray, indicating they are set automatically and cannot be changed unless IP Address Type is first set to Static. Changes are saved and activated upon confirmation using the Apply button.
| DHCP (default) | Select automatic IP address assignment from the LAN DHCP server. If the FS1-X cannot find a DHCP server, it fails over to the static IP address. |
| Static Addr | Assign a static IP address manually (using parameters 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4). The factory default static IP address: 192.168.0.2 |
IP Address
IP Address determines the static IP address used by the FS1-X for TCP/IP networking. (Networking is discussed in Chapter 3, Network Connection.) Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
| Variable | If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the IP address is set automatically by the network DHCP server and cannot be entered here. If IP Address Type is set to Static, enter an IP address compatible with your LAN here. Also enter a netmask and default gateway address in the following two parameters. Click Apply when you are ready to apply all three entries to change the FS1-X's network addressing. If IP Address Type is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is set to the static IP address. The default static IP address is 192.168.0.2 |
Netmask
Netmask determines the subnet mask used by the FS1-X for TCP/IP networking.
| Variable Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user. |
Default Gateway
Default Gateway determines the gateway or router used on your LAN for TCP/IP networking.
Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/gateway or not), the FS1-X will be unable to see other FS1-Xs on the network, although you may still be able to control this FS1-X via a web browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined, the discovery feature on the Network web page will not work correctly and list other FS1-Xs on the network.
| Variable Enter a default gateway or router address. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1. If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Default Gateway is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user. |
Alarm Configuration Screen
You can pop open the Alarm Configuration display at any time and on any screen by clicking the gear button in the upper part of the Alarms panel.
To close the window, press the ESC key, or click the X in the upper right corner.
The Alarm Configuration display provides control over these alarm settings:
• Power Supply Alarm (see "5 Power Supply Alarm" on page 56)
• Video 1 and Video 2 Format Alarm (see "6.1 Vid1 Format Alarm" on page 56)
• Reference Alarm (see "7 Reference Alarm" on page 57)

Hidden Menus
This selection lets you choose whether to hide or show inactive menus.
| Hide Inactive (default)Show All | Hides menus that are not in use.Shows all menus, even those that are not in use. |
Display Intensity
Display Intensity determines alphanumeric display and front panel LED brightness.
| Variable Use the slider to dim or brighten the alphanumeric display and activity indicator LEDs in steps from 1 (dim) to 8 (brightest). Default is 6 |
UPnP Host
UPnP Host enables the FS1-X to be discovered by a Windows network.
| Enable (default) Disable | Enables the FS1-X to be discovered by a Windows network. Disables Windows network discovery of the FS1-X. |
When this parameter is enabled, you can view the FS1-X on a Windows Network by clicking these selections in Windows 7: Start > Computer > Network (in left pane). Any FS1-Xs on the network will be listed under Other Devices below Computers and Media Devices. If your system does not have network discovery enabled, you may need to enable it following the Windows help instructions to make network devices visible in the Windows Network window.
UPnP Proxy
UPnP Proxy enables the FS1-X to serve as a proxy for other AJA devices, allowing them to be discovered on a Windows network through the FS1-X. When enabled, the FS1-X acts as a proxy for all the AJA devices that it is able to connect to that have not already been discovered on the network. The devices will be listed in the FS1-X Network window. Once the devices appear on the network, they can connect directly to other devices and computers without involving the FS1-X.
| Enable (default) | Enables the FS1-X to connect other AJA devices to the network. |
| Disable | Disables the FS1-X from serving as a proxy for AJA devices. |
Presets Screen
The Presets screen allows you to save FS1-X Preset Configurations into 40 separate memory registers and recall the presets whenever needed. This screen also includes Export and Import functions that allow exporting one or all FS1-X presets to your computer as files and importing exported preset files from your computer. A displayed message indicates successful or failed saves, recalls, exports, and imports.
Presets Screen Controls
Factory Preset
Factory Preset recalls all editable video and audio parameters to their factory default settings. Individual presets, user preferences, and Network settings, such as the IP Address, are not affected.
Recall The Recall buttons recall saved FS1-X preset configurations.
Caution!
When you recall a Preset Configuration, the recalled preset immediately replaces the system's existing configuration. All previous settings are lost unless you have previously stored them in another preset configuration or an exported file.
Store
The Store buttons let you save the current FS1-X configuration into the preset register with the associated name and number. A preset is a set of all System, Video, Audio, and Output parameters as they were set at the time the preset was stored. Only editable parameters are saved in the presets. Non-editable parameters are not saved.
To change a preset name, click in the name's text field and type a new name.
Export
The Export buttons save the associated preset contents to a file on your computer. The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options. The file name is the same as the preset name with the suffix.presets. If you export multiple files for the same preset, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name. The file size is small, usually less than 100 kilobytes.
Import
The Import buttons let you browse for and import a preset file on your computer into the preset register associated with the selected button. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite the current preset contents with the file contents.
Export Presets 1–40 (All)
Export All lets you save the contents of all presets to a file on your computer.
The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options with the name all.presets. If you export multiple files, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name.
Import Presets 1–40 (All)
Import All lets you browse for and import a previously exported all.presets file from your computer. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite all 40 current preset contents with the contents stored in the file.
Interaction of Presets and GPIs
Triggering presets using GPI inputs offers considerable power but also requires some care to avoid unexpected results. If you plan to trigger presets using GPIs, please see the information about the "Interaction of Presets and GPIs" on page 54.
Video Proc Screen
The Video Proc screen selects the video sources that are routed to Video Processor 1 and Video Processor 2, and controls the FS1-X's video signal processing.
The parameters available on the Video Proc browser screens are essentially identical to the front panel display menus. The only difference is parameters are set using webpage controls (drop down menus, slider adjustments) instead of control knobs.

• "12 Reset Mapped Output" on page 90
Remote Screen
The REMOTE screen contains parameters that affect how the FS1-X is controlled. Control options include the front panel, a remote computer running a browser, and GPI inputs and outputs.
NOTE: The Remote Menu Group parameters available on the front panel interact with the browser parameters available on an attached computer, and vice versa. For example, the Remote Control parameter can only be changed from the front panel, and when set to Local Only will deactivate all browser remote control parameters.
See "REMOTE Menu Group" on page 51 for detailed information about FS1-X remote control options.
Firmware Screen
The Update Firmware screen allows you to download and install a firmware update from AJA.
First visit the AJA website (aja.com) to locate and download the updated software. The following page provides FS1-X support information and will include links to locations where you can download updates:
http://www.aja.com/en/products/FS1-X/#support
After downloading the software update to your local drive, use the Browse button to locate the local software copy. Follow the prompts to load the new firmware into the FS1-X. See "Software Update Installation" on page 34 for more information.
FS1-X Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP is defined as a "simple network management protocol" and was specified as a component of the internet protocol suite by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The FS1-X can act as a network element that issues SNMP trap messages signaling a detected alarm condition or other system condition. A device's trap messages are defined in an MIB (Management Information Base) file. The trap messages are sent to a server-based external NMS destination. For example, the FS1-X could send a trap message if one of its redundant power supplies becomes unplugged. A client software agent that communicates with the NMS might then get a message telling the operator what has happened.
The FS1-X must be configured for SNMP messaging. By default SNMP is disabled on the FS1-X. Besides activating SNMP, trap destinations must also be defined with fixed IP addresses.
When SNMP is enabled, one or more of these alarms may be sent by the FS1-X to the client network management system (NMS) as a trap message:
• FS1-XPowerSupplyAlarm (PS1 Alarm)
• FS1-X PowerSupply2Alarm (PS2 Alarm)
• FS1-XReferenceAlarm (Ref Video Alarm)
• FS1-XVid1ReferenceAlarm (Vid1 Ref Video Alarm)
• FS1-XVid2ReferenceAlarm (Vid2 Ref Video Alarm)
• FS1-XVid1FormatAlarm (Vid1 Format Alarm)
• FS1-XVid1BackgroundAlarm (Vid1 Background Format Alarm)
• FS1-XVid2FormatAlarm (Vid2 Format Alarm)
• FS1-XVid2BackgroundAlarm (Vid2 Background Format Alarm)
• FS1-X Over Temperature Alarm (FS1-X Over Temperature Alarm)
SNMP Configuration
FS1-X SNMP configuration can be accomplished using the front panel or with the web browser computer interface (if Remote Control is enabled).
Front Panel Screens
The FS1-X front panel screens for SNMP are accessible through the CONFIG button. The direct SNMP configuration screens are:
• 4.0 SNMP Enable
• 4.1 SNMP Trap Destination 1
• 4.2 SNMP Trap Port 1
• 4.3 SNMP Trap Destination 2
• 4.4 SNMP Trap Port 2
These SNMP direct configuration parameters are described later in this chapter.
In addition, the following front panel CONFIG screens can affect SNMP alarm messaging:
• 5.0 Power Supply Alarm (see page 56).
• 6.1 & 6.2 Video Format Alarm (see page 56).
• 7 Reference Alarm (see page 57).
Front Panel Octet Value Entry Procedure
Set the octets (numbers between periods) values as follows:
- Push ADJUST momentarily to enter edit mode.
- Turn SELECT to select the octet you want to edit, indicated by blinking.
- Turn ADJUST to enter the new value.
- If you need to revert to the previous setting (undo changes), push SELECT.
- Push ADJUST momentarily to save and activate the new setting.
- If you want to revert to the default value, hold down ADJUST for 4 seconds.
Web Browser
SNMP direct configuration settings are available on the Config screen of the web browser interface.
Figure 15. Web Browser Config Screen SNMP Parameters
Clicking on the Alarms gear icon opens a window that permits setting alarm messaging.
Figure 16. Web Browser Alarm Configuration Window
4.0 SNMP Enable
The SNMP Enable parameter Enables or Disables SNMP messaging between the FS1-X and an external client.
| Disabled (default)Enable 1Enable Both | When set to Disabled, the FS1-X will not issue SNMP trap messages. When set to Enable 1, the FS1-X issues SNMP trap messages to Trap Destination 1 (parameter 4.1) and as defined in the MIB.When set to Enable Both, the FS1-X issues SNMP trap messages to Trap Destination 1 and 2 (parameters 4.1 and 4.3) and as defined in the MIB. |
When Enabled, menus described below are available for configuration.
4.1 SNMP Trap Destination 1
This parameter determines the SNMP Trap Destination IP address where trap messages issued by the FS1-X will be sent.
| IP Address | Set the desired IP address where traps will be sent (usually a client on your LAN). Default: 192.168.0.3 |
4.2 SNMP Trap Port 1
This parameter determines the SNMP Trap Port 1 used for sending destination #1 trap messages. UDP Port 162 is the default used for SNMP trap messages. However, if this port is being used by another protocol or service, you can change the setting by modifying this parameter.
| Variable | Select a UDP port for sending FS1-X trap messages. Default: 162 |
NOTE: The SNMP Trap Port number does not blink when changed (as does the Trap Destination IP address); if you change the port number and exit the parameter, the port changes immediately to the new value.
4.3 SNMP Trap Destination 2
This parameter determines the secondary SNMP Trap Destination IP address where trap messages issued by the FS1-X will be sent (if desired). This parameter is similar to "4.1 SNMP Trap Destination 1" above. The default is 192.168.0.3.
4.4 SNMP Trap Port 2
This parameter determines the SNMP Trap Port used for sending destination #2 trap messages, similar to "4.2 SNMP Trap Port 1" above. Default is 162.

The GPI inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from power and ground on the FS1-X frame. There are four inputs and four outputs. Electrical isolation is provided for up to four pieces of external equipment.
The following guidelines apply to the four GPI inputs and outputs:
- GPI In 1 and GPI Out 1 share a common isolated ground on pin 5 (GPI GND 1),
- GPI In 2 and GPI Out 2 share a common isolat ed ground on pin 6(GPI GND 2).
- GPI In 3 and GPI Out 3 share a common isolat ed ground on pin 10(GPI GND 3).
- GPI In 4 and GPI Out 4 share a common isolated ground on pin 11 (GPI GND 4).
- Pins 1 and 15, local chassis ground, may only be used as references when isolation is not required.
- All four GPI inputs are internally pulled high through a 10K ohm resistor to an isolated +5V supply, so that a relay contact closure or any device sinking at least 0.4 mA to ground will register a logic low.
- All four GPI outputs are +5V TTL compatible, sourcing up to 6mA and sinking up to 4mA each.
- GPI Inputs light the front pane I EXT LED when triggered.
The following illustration shows typical external wiring to the GPI connector. The GPI inputs require some kind of contact closure between the input pin and the input ground pin to register the logic low that triggers the GPI input.
You can connect the outputs to TTL buffers that communicate the GPI output logic levels to other devices. For example, you could use an opto-isolator controlling a relay to activate other equipment as shown below.
