FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
Rear Panel Description
Connectors
The FS4 rear panel connectors are summarized below:
P/S 1 and P/S 2
Two IEC-60320 3-pin grounded connectors provide AC power to the two independent
power supplies. The supplies are autosensing for 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Only one
connection is required for operation, but both connectors must be plugged into AC
power for redundant power protection.
AES/EBU Digital Audio
Two GPI DB-25F connectors provide input and output of 16 channels of balanced digital
audio. See
“Audio Connection Pinouts” on page 123
.
MADI BNC
64 channel MADI output and input, on separate BNC connectors.
MADI Fiber
64 channel MADI output and input, on separate Multi-Mode fiber ST connectors.
GPI
The GPI DB-25F connector provides connection to external equipment or circuits via an
isolated TTL-compatible interface. Four GPI inputs and four outputs are available. See
Using the
REMOTE
menu group, you can program the actions of the GPI inputs and
outputs individually. Contact closures on the inputs can trigger a wide variety of FS4
functions. Alarms or loss of video can trigger the GPI outputs.
10/100/1000 LAN
This RJ45 connector provides an Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for connection directly to a
computer or to a LAN through an Ethernet hub or switch.
SFP In/Out (optional)
All FS4's optional SFP I/O ports support up to 3G SDI operation. In addition, in Single
Channel mode the FS4‘s SFP ports 5 through 8 In and Out also support 12G and 6GSDI,
when equipped with a compatible SFP module.
SDI In/Out
Digital video with embedded audio. Four SDI input and Four SDI Output BNCs. 10 bit 3G
SDI is supported. The input and output signals carried on each BNC connector varies,
depending on the link configuration and format selection.
Monitor Output
Two Monitor output connectors are available, BNC (SDI) and HDMI, which output the
same video and audio. In Four Channel Mode you can select which Video Processor
output is sent to both of these Monitor output connectors. Single Channel Mode always
passes the unit’s single output to these connectors, and 4K/UltraHD signals are
automatically downconverted to HD.
