Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
FS-HDR, a 1RU, rack-mount, universal converter/frame synchronizer, is designed
specifically to meet the HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WCG (Wide Color Gamut)
needs of broadcast, OTT, post and live event AV environments, where real time,
low-latency processing and color fidelity is required for 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD
workflows. Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the FS-HDR's HDR/WCG
functionality is powered by Colorfront Engine™ proprietary video processing
algorithms. FS-HDR also serves as a full, 1-channel up, down, cross-converter for
4K/UltraHD/2K/HD conversion and frame sync needs and in 4-Channel mode,
offers 4 independent channels of 2K/HD conversion.
The pursuit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the dream of getting closer to the
Human Visual System (HVS) in all that we experience as viewers. FS-HDR has been
designed to get us all there faster with a low profile, stand alone and real time
device uniquely designed to bridge SDR to HDR, HDR to SDR and HDR to HDR, all
in real time.
HDR Conversions:
• HDR to HDR
• HDR to SDR
• SDR to HDR
WCG Conversions:
• BT.709 and BT.2020
Up and Down Conversions:
• Converting HD SDR BT.709 sources to UHD HDR BT.2020
• Converting UHD HDR BT.2020 sources to HD SDR BT.709
FS-HDR's extensive digital video connectivity is only matched by its expansive
digital audio flexibility. The growth of 5.1 and 7.1 audio has increased the number
of audio channels that must be managed in a production as well as needing to
create stereo mixdowns from 5.1 and 7.1 sources. The MADI standard provides
a convenient way to transport large numbers of audio channels along a single
cable, simplifying the cabling demands for broadcasters, mobile trucks and
production. FS-HDR supports both fiber and coax connections with 128-channel
MADI input and output. An internal 277x208 audio matrix allows full routing of
MADI, mixdowns and all audio coming from SDI, fiber and AES sources for an
incredible amount of audio processing capability in a single box.
