  • Page 7: Chapter 1 - Introduction

    The FS2 supports analog and digital I/O, with full input and output crosspoint matrices, allowing any I/O port to be assigned to either processor. With support of all broadcast video formats, the FS2 makes matching up disparate video and audio systems simple—one converter box does it all.

  • Page 8: Audio Features

    • Five-year international warranty with unlimited technical support. Typical Applications The FS2 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 1080p50/60.

  • Page 9: Video Format Conversion

    Ref Video is connected. About Inputs and Outputs To operate the FS2, first select an Output Video Format (In the Video 1 or 2 menu); then select an Input port. The FS2 will automatically determine the selected input video format and convert it (if necessary) to the selected Output Video Format.

  • Page 22: Chapter 3 - Installation & Configuration

    Chapter 3 – Installation & Configuration Installation Overview The installation and set up of an FS2 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.

  • Page 23: Installation Summary

    FS2 will continue to operate even if a circuit breaker opens on one branch. 5. If you plan to use remote control, connect your computer to the FS2 directly using an Ethernet cable, or connect both the computer and the FS2 to a local area network through an appropriate hub or router.

    If you find shipping damage, contact your AJA dealer or distributor for details on how to have your FS2 repaired or replaced. NOTE: Save packing materials and the shipping box. If your FS2 ever requires service or you move your system, use the packaging materials and box for safe shipment.

  • Page 25: Fs2 Chassis Installation

    Physical Requirements for Mounting the Chassis You can mount the FS2 chassis in two ways: • Rackmounting—attach the FS2 (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.

  • Page 26: Power Requirements

    FS2 units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment next to the FS2 and ensure none are obstructed. NOTE: FS2 units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate supply of cool air around the FS2 vents.

  • Page 27: Fs2 Default Network Settings

    Networking Using DHCP or Default Static IP The FS2 factory default configuration automatically looks for a DHCP server to issue an IP address. If your network includes a DHCP server, plug the FS2 into the network and connect with the FS2 as follows: 1.

  • Page 28: Networking The Fs2 Using Your Own Static Ip

    Enter. You should now see the FS2’s browser Status screen. If the FS2 cannot get an address from the network DHCP server, the FS2 will automatically use a preset factory static IP address of 192.168.0.2. You can access the FS2 using the default static address as follows: 1.

  • Page 29: Using Ping To Test The Network Connection

    Using Ping to Test the Network Connection If you have connected the FS2 to a computer and set up the IP address and still do not see the FS2 screens in your browser, you can ping the network to verify the connection.

  • Page 30: Web Browser Control

    To control the FS2 from a web browser on a network attached computer, enter the FS2 IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS2 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.

  • Page 31: Unpack The Software

    Unpack the Software FS2 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 FS2 is a file with a name like FS2_ver_1.0.0.0.bin or similar.

    2 physical input. Choosing Auto Detect or Dual Stream in parameter 4 does not switch away from the physical input. In the Dual Stream setting, the FS2 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.

  • Page 52: Genlock Source

    In the Dual Stream setting, the FS2 assumes both channels of Dual Stream 3G video are muxed onto a single wire at the Fiber 1 input. The Fiber 2 video signal is then taken internally from the Fiber 1 Channel 2 signal instead of the Fiber 2 Input connector.
