  • Page 8: Chapter 1 - Introduction

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

    Front Panel Control The FS-HDR front panel offers the most direct control, ideal for use in machine rooms or wherever quick changes and status checks must be made. The buttons and knobs control menus in the display, allowing you to fully configure the system according to your purposes.
  • Page 11: Technical Description

    The FS-HDR features an incredibly flexible architecture, offering powerful Video Processors for video conversion and processing, a separate Audio Processor, and input and output video and audio signal routing. The FS-HDR has two completely separate operating modes, selected with a menu parameter and then rebooting the unit.
  • Page 12: Single Channel Mode

    4K, UltraHD, 3G, HD, and SD video formats. The same processed output signal is sent to all the FS-HDR output connectors, depending on transport configuration. For example, when in Quad Link mode, the same signal is routed to the SDI Out 1-4 connectors, and also to the SDI Out 5-8 connectors (for use with optional SFP modules).
  • Page 13: Video Processor(S)

    The Video Processor also supports video signal adjustment with standard Proc Amp controls. The FS-HDR can embed 16 channels of audio from any of the audio inputs to each complete video output. On multiple link outputs, the audio is embedded on the first link.
  • Page 14: Audio Processor

    Optional FS-HDR Features SFP I/O All FS-HDR’s SFP I/O ports support up to 3G SDI data rates. In addition, in Single Channel mode the FS-HDR‘s SFP ports 5 through 8 In and Out also support 12G and 6G SDI, when equipped with a compatible SFP module.
  • Page 15: Hdr And Wcg Background

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

    The devices will be listed in the FS-HDR Network window. Once the devices appear on the network, they can connect directly to other devices and computers without involving the FS-HDR.
  • Page 108: Audio Screen

    Audio Screen The Audio screen controls the FS-HDR’s system wide audio signal processing. The parameters available on the Audio browser screen 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.
  • Page 109: Presets Screen

    Storing and recalling a Preset will affect all the settings for all four channels in that mode. Care must be taken to establish a policy for the use of FS-HDR Presets, especially if the FS-HDR is operated in Four Channel mode and the different channels have different users.

    The Update Firmware screen allows you to download and install a firmware update from AJA. The FS-HDR Update Page link on the Firmware screen will take you to the correct AJA website page. Or you can visit the AJA website (aja.com) to locate and download the updated software.
  • Page 112: Video Channel Screens

    Video Channel Screens The Video Channel screens control the FS-HDR’s video signal processing of that channel (either four or one, depending on mode). In Four Channel Mode four menu groups are selected on the left. In Single Channel Mode only one menu group is available.
