If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1-X will boot the
older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. This happens because
the FS1-X has been designed with a safety feature where an internal “safe” copy of the
previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails.
System Cabling
System Video/Audio
Cable Connections
When installing your system, you’ll make video and audio input/output connections.
These connectors are explained individually in
Chapter 2
.
GPI Connections
The FS1-X has four GPI inputs and four GPI outputs. The GPI inputs and outputs are
electrically isolated from the power and ground on the FS1-X frame. Electrical isolation is
provided for up to four pieces of external equipment.
See
“GPI Pinouts” on page 117
for information on how to wire the GPI connector to work
with external devices that you want to use to control the FS1-X or that you want the
FS1-X to control.
FS1-X Audio Level
Choices—Pro or
Consumer, US or
EBU
Since the FS1-X handles both digital and analog audio and can convert between the two,
it provides analog and digital audio level settings in the front panel menus and the
remote web browser. Standard practice typically sets the maximum audio level
approximately 20 db above the operating (alignment) level, allowing enough headroom
to handle peaks without clipping. Because different countries and equipment types use
different operating and maximum levels, the FS1-X has several audio level settings. These
settings allow you to set the relationship between the analog and digital audio levels to
accommodate the equipment and audio operating standards you use.
Caution!
Do not connect audio signals carrying phantom power to the FS1-X analog audio
connectors.
