    HD and SD video—all in full 10-bit Broadcast quality video and 24-bit audio. The FS1 supports virtually any input or output, analog or digital, HD or SD. The FS-1 can up- or down-convert between SD and HD, and provide simultaneous HD and SD outputs.
  • Page 10: Fs1 Front Panel Control

    From a network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more FS1 devices, even getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and rear panel (front: “Identify”, rear: “ID”). Networks can be closed local area networks or even a straight computer-to-FS1 cable, or the greatest flexibility, exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN.

    After installation, the front panel indicators will be useful in monitoring what is happening on the system as well as troubleshooting problems that can occur. Becoming familiar with the FS1 front and rear panels will simplify installation, setup, and operation of the system. Use of the Web browser user interface is described in a later chapter.

  • Page 17: Status Display

    OUT 720p59.94 SDI 1 If the selected input has no valid signal present, the FS1 displays “IN No Input”. Note: If the input is incompatible with the chosen output format, the default status screen will display the actual format, such as “IN 525i 59.94". The status alarm screen, however, would be the 'default' status screen at that point (since the Alarm LED would be on), and it would display “IN Incompat”.
  • Page 18: Controlling The Fs1-Using The Select And Adjust Buttons

    If the temperature threshold is exceeded inside the FS1, the lower line of the power/temperature status display will read "OVERHEATED". This is an indication that video output may be compromised. Please note, that if the Alarm LED is lit on the front panel, the reason should be evident after examining the video format status screen and the power/temperature status screen.
  • Page 19: Remote Control

    Note: Parameter displays and adjustment choices and values are described in detail in Chapter 4. Pressing the Remote button once results in a display showing how the FS1 is being Remote Control controlled. Pressing the button again cycles the display through all the control options possible: LOCAL+REMOTE: Control is from the panel buttons and/or a web browser.

    Notes: 1. In the case of 1080pSF/23.98 input—and when 1080i59.94 (or 525) is selected as an output format, the FS1 automatically does 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate. Similarly, in the case of 1080pSF/24 input, FS1 automatically does 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate.

    Outputs desired input. All outputs are active all the time. By selecting an output format first and then the input source, the FS1 can automatically put in place any conversion required (up/down/cross). Audio embedding/disembedding is also automatic, following any parameter settings you’ve selected for your application. For example,...
  • Page 23: Connector Descriptions

    An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100 Ethernet port for connection directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN. The FS1 is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables, automatically detecting which is used.
  • Page 24: Component (Ypbpr/Rgb)

    (see chapter 4 for discussion of these parameters). Reference Video (looping) These two BNC connectors allow you to synchronize FS1 outputs to your house reference video signal (blackburst or composite sync for SD, or Tri- level for HD). If you have a sync generator or video equipment source to use for synchronizing other video equipment in your studio, then connect its composite output here.
  • Page 25: Installation Overview

    Installation & Configuration Installation Overview The installation and set up of an FS1 is very simple. Plug both AC supply cords into AC mains power, 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.
  • Page 26 3. If remote control of the FS1 is desired, ensure you have an Ethernet cable routed to where the FS1 will be placed. It can be connected over a LAN, or attached directly to a locally attached computer. Ensure that the computer (whether communicating over a LAN or directly to the FS1 Ethernet port) has a web browser on it (FireFox or IE 7 recommended).

  • Page 28: Network Connection

    Width—17.25” (43.8 cm) Network Connection The FS1 can be networked directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over)—or it can be connected to a local area network (LAN). In either case, the FS1 connects via its 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connector.
  • Page 29: Networking The Fs1 Using A Static Ip Address

    You should now see the FS1’s browser status screen. If the FS1 cannot get an address from the DHCP server on the LAN while the FS1 is set to DHCP via parameter 50.1, the FS1 will automatically drop back to a preset factory IP address of 192.168.0.2.
  • Page 30: Networking The Fs1 Using The Factory Default Ip

    Configuring the FS1 with a Static IP Address Networking the If you don’t want to use DHCP to network the FS1 and also don’t want to set your own static IP address, you can simply use a Default setting to use a factory setting of FS1 using the 10.65.74.65.
  • Page 31: Test The Fs1 Network Connection With "Ping

    To control the FS1 from a web-browser on a network attached computer, you must enter the FS1 IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS1 IP address were “90.0.6.31”, you would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31...

    3. When you have selected a valid FS1 image file, click the “Upload” button in the web browser. The file you select will upload to the FS1 and be tested for validity. Incomplete, corrupted, or non-FS1 software files are rejected.
  • Page 34: Cabling The System

    Audio Cable Connections FS1 Audio Level Since the FS1 handles both digital and analog audio and can convert between the two, it provides settings via the parameter menus and the remote web browser, that Choices Pro or allow you to control the relationship between audio level in analog versus the same Consumer audio level in the digital domain.
  • Page 35: How Do Audio Levels Settings Relate To Nominal Levels

    In the U.S. most users use +4 dBu as their Standard Operating Level. This corresponds to -20dBFS in the digital domain (20 dB of headroom, per SMPTE RP- 155), so the +24 dBu setting on the FS1 provides proper headroom levels for digital and analog audio.
  • Page 37: Chapter 4: Parameter Menus

    Parameter Menus Controlling the FS1 via Its Front Panel Parameter Menus There are two ways to control the FS1: remotely from a web browser and using front panel Select/Adjust buttons and Parameter Menus. This chapter deals with the latter—the most direct and all inclusive way to configure an FS1.
  • Page 38: Output Format

    Pressing one of the parameter Adjust buttons changes the current parameter’s value to a new one from the FS1’s list of choices—repeating the list if you continue to press Adjust—or adjusting a numerical value up or down. The exact choices displayed will vary depending on the parameter.

    1. You want to pass digital encoded audio from either embedded or AES into embedded and/or AES out. 2. You have the embedded or AES input genlocked to the FS1 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.
  • Page 48: Afv Memory
