FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
The FS4 can be configured to operate with one of a variety of references, including
genlock to the signal from the Reference input connector, genlock to the current video
input signal, or Free Run. Your choice of reference needs to meet your individual facility
requirements, and must be accounted for when you configure an FS4 video output
format.
Retained Settings
The FS4 stores the current value of each operational parameter in non-volatile memory
so that the system returns to the same state after a power cycle. Most of the settings for
Single Channel mode are stored separately from those for Four Channel Mode, and vice-
versa. These separate settings for each mode can be changed only when operating in
that mode.
The FS4 also stores independent values for many settings, so that if the unit is configured
for one operation, changed to a different operation, and then returned to that prior
operation, the settings for that prior operation are restored.
For example, changing the Video Input selection automatically selects new values for
Proc Amp parameters and RGB Proc Amp parameters. This is referred to as Source
Memory. Each video source remembers its own Proc Amp settings.
Similarly, changing the Output Format selection automatically selects new values for H &
V timing parameters. This is referred to as Output Timing Memory. Each Output Format
mode remembers its own H & V timing settings.
As another example, Output Format Mapping stores the Output Format selected for any
of the frame rates. That Mapped Output Format is recalled if the frame rate selection is
changed.
Presets can also be used to restore the FS4 to a previous state. Many parameters can be
individually reset to factory values using individual menus, or the entire FS4 can be reset
to defaults (with the PRESET, Factory Preset menu). Presets for Single Channel mode are
separate from those for Four Channel Mode. Preset changes made in one mode will not
affect settings for the other mode.
