FS2 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v3.0 20 www.aja.com
RS-422
DB-15 connector reserved for future use.
GPI
The GPI DB-15 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 FS2 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.
SDI Fiber In/Out (optional)
Two optional Optical Fiber SFP modules support single- or dual-channel Fiber
Input and/or Output. 3G/HD/SD SDI protocol is supported. Only AJA Optical
Fiber SFP modules are supported—use of other manufacturer’s modules is not
supported and may void warranty.
SDI In/Out
Digital video with embedded audio. Two SDI Input and two SDI Output BNCs. 10
bit 3G/HD/SD SDI is supported.
HDMI In/Out
HDMI In and Out is supported on HDMI connectors. Standard SD and HD video
formats are supported, including support for 8 channel embedded audio. Also
supports standard computer DVI video formats (input via a DVI to HDMI cable).
HDCP (copy protected) HDMI video is not supported.
Component In/Out YPbPr/RGB Video
Component Analog Video is supported on 3x BNCs for Input and Output. Video
A/D and D/A converters are 12-bit and support both SD and HD. YPbPr format
is supported or the outputs can be switched to RGB. Additionally, with v 1.1
firmware composite analog video is supported.
Composite In/Out
Composite NTSC or PAL standard definition Input and Output. Composite Video
A/D and D/A converters are 12-bit.
Ref Loop
The Reference Loop BNCs accept an Output timing reference signal. The
reference can be SD Blackburst or HD tri-level sync. Examples of permissible
reference video input signals:
• 525 Color Black
• 625 Color Black
• 1080i Tri-level Sync
• 720p Tri-level Sync
The 2 BNCs are a passive loop: one BNC is for the Input, and the remaining BNC
can be connected to another piece of equipment in the reference chain or
terminated.
