FS2 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v3.0 52 www.aja.com
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.
8 Genlock Source
This parameter selects the source of reference video used to genlock to, either
automatically or explicitly.
Reference (default)
Vid1 Input
Vid2 Input
Free run
Use the signal on the
Ref
connector as the genlock source.
Use the
Vid1
input signal as the genlock source.
Use the
Vid1
input signal as the genlock source.
Free run mode (FS2 syncs to its own timebase, not locked to an
external source).
NOTE: HDMI can be used as a reference (with SYSTEM 8 Genlock Source set to Vid1 Input
or Vid2 Input), but HDMI is not a valid reference source when the signal on the
HDMI input originates from a VESA-format computer DVI signal.
9 Frame Rates
This parameter selects the HD video frame rate associated with the video
standard.
59.94/23.98 (default)
50/25
60/24
Select
59.94/23.98
if your desired rate is either 59.94
or 2
3.98.
Select
50/25
if your desired rate is either 50 or 25 (PAL).
Select
60/24
if your desired rate is either 60 or 24.
NOTE: Changing the Frame Rates selection automatically selects a new value for 2
Output Format. Each Frame Rates selection remembers its own Output Format
settings.
10 NTSC Standard
This parameter selects the NTSC video standard. This setting only applies when
parameter 9 Frame Rate is “59.94/23.98”.
NTSC
(default)
NTSC Japan
PAL M
Select NTSC for North America.
Select NTSC for Japan.
Select PAL-M for Brazil.
The NTSC standard applies to both the Output video standard, and the expected
Input video standard. The FS2 does not convert NTSC to PAL-M, or vice-versa.
11 Composite Downconv
This parameter selects the type of Downconversion performed on the incoming
selected HD source input for the analog Composite (NTSC or PAL) video output.
Crop
(default)
Anamorphic
14x9
Auto AFD
Letterbox
Image is cropped to fit new screen size.
HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic).
Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added
top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.
Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the input
video’s Active Format Description (AFD) code. If the input video is
not carrying an AFD VANC code, the Downconverter defaults to the
mode specified in parameter menu
16.3 Downconvert AFD Default
.
Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area,
with the aspect ratio preserved.
