FSN Series Multi-format Applications

Application 1— Basic

This con

fi

 guration is an ideal basic setup 

consisting of multiple inputs (scaled and native), 
plus scaled and native Aux outputs.  

In the diagram:

Multiple scaled and native sources connect to 

• 

the FSN-1400, including cameras, PCs, VTRs, 
DVRs and servers.
The FSN-1400 connects to the control panel 

• 

(FSN-150 or FSN-250) via Ethernet.
Program and Preview outputs enable the 

• 

technical director to view the output of 
the switcher, and preview the “look” that’s 
coming next.
A scaled Aux output connects to the projector, 

• 

while a native Aux output connects to a VTR 
— providing the ability to record the entire 
event.

Application 2 — Encore Cross Feed

This con

fi

 guration is a highly 

fl

 exible system 

in which an Aux output from the FSN-1400 is 
connected to the input of a MatrixPRO router 
that feeds the Encore Presentation System.  
Conversely, a MatrixPRO output feeds the input 
of the FSN-1400.

Because of the cross routing, each system has 
access to all sources, yet both can be switched 
independently.  The Encore system can access 
cameras connected to the FSN series, while the 
FSN series switcher can access the Encore’s PCs 
and VTRs. 

In the diagram:

Multiple cameras connect to the FSN-1400. 

• 

A native Aux output connects to a VTR (for 
recording Program), while a second Aux 
output connects to the MatrixPRO.
In the Encore Presentation System, multiple 

• 

PCs and VTRs connect to the MatrixPRO router.  
The router’s outputs connect to the Encore 
Video Processors and also to the FSN-1400.
