AJA FS4 4-Channel 12G-SDI/1-Channel UHD 4K Frame Synchronizer/Converter

Convert and synchronize up to UHD 4K video with audio with the FS4 4-Channel 12G-SDI & 1-Channel UHD 4K Frame Synchronizer/Converter from AJA. This 1 RU matrix synchronizer can operate in single-channel mode for UHD 4K processing, scaling, and cross conversion to various 2K/HD/SD formats, and it can also operate in four-channel mode where it can process, scale, and cross convert up to four video signals simultaneously between 2K/HD/SD formats.

In single-channel mode, you can upscale HD or SD video to and from UHD 4K as well as converting multiple channels of audio over 3G-SDI, AES, and MADI in a wide-ranging matrix. In four-channel mode, you can simultaneously convert and scale up to four 2K/HD and SD video signals. Features include scaling, color correction, proc amp controls, motion adaptive deinterlacing, and more.

The unit has four 12G/6G/3G-SDI inputs and four 12G/6G/3G-SDI outputs, reference loop input/output, GPI input, DB-25 AES/MADI audio input and output, 3G-SDI and HDMI monitor output, MADI input and output, analog audio input and output, and Gigabit Ethernet for LAN management. The unit also allows you to add a separately available fiber SFP unit for additional inputs and outputs. Its redundant power supply allows you to keep the unit running if one power source fails.

Single-channel mode provides a full suite of 4K/UltraHD processing and up, down, cross conversion to and from 2K, HD, or SD

Four-channel mode offers 4 x 2K/HD/SD channels of simultaneous conversion and processing, all within a 1 RU chassis for multichannel high-density delivery

Panel design provides straightforward operation in single- or four-channel mode

Legacy signals and archival material need to be integrated into the 4K environment

4K sources need to be down-converted for current 2K/HD pipelines

Supports up, down, cross conversion from SD, HD, or 2K over 12G/6G/3G-SDI video to 4K or UltraHD video and back

Supports both Quadrant (Square Division) and 2SI (Two Sample Interleave) output formats

Hardware conversion technology ensures better image quality for your productions

Utilizes standard BNC as well as optional SFP inputs and outputs to integrate easily into a variety of workflows and facilities with support for SDI workflows all the way up to 12G

BNC inputs and outputs accept 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD resolution SDI signals in single-channel mode

2K/HD/SD inputs can be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without the need for any external signal distribution in four-channel mode

Looping reference input allows the synchronizer to be locked to your house reference signal for rock-solid stability

Digital audio can be disembedded and embedded between SDI, MADI, and AES for an array of routing possibilities
