FS2 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v3.0 18 www.aja.com
PWR 1/2 (blue)
Power Supply 1 or 2 is operational and receiving power. Both PWR 1 and PWR 2
LEDs must be lit to indicate redundant power is available.
ID (blue)
Flashes when you right-click on an FS2 system name and choose Identify in the
web interface Network list. This action helps identify which FS2 you’re controlling
when multiple FS2 units are operated from a single computer. The ID LEDs on the
front and rear panels perform the exact same function. No matter which side of a
rack you’re facing, you’ll be able to see one of the LEDs.
ALARM (red)
An alarm event has been detected. Press the STATUS button for information. The
Alarm LED may light because of a disconnected or failed power supply, other
hardware failure, video incompatibilities, or genlock loss. (Any of these conditions
may be suppressed using the Alarm Suppress parameters, CONFIG 5, 6.1, 6.2, and
7.)
Incompatibility Alarms
The FS2 produces signal incompatibility alarms for a number of reasons. When
incompatible I/O formats are detected, an alarm can be triggered with these
results:
• Lights the relevant alarm LED on the front panel (FMT ERROR, 1 or 2).
• Displays an alarm in the browser user interface.
• Influences selection of the first-displayed status screen.
• Generates an SNMP trap (if configured).
• Triggers a GPI Output (if configured).
The following tables explain how to interpret the alarms.
Incompatible Video Formats
The table below shows conversions that the FS2 cannot do and which will cause
video format alarms to be generated.
