FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
10 Display Intensity
This parameter determines the brightness of the alphanumeric display and front panel
LEDs.
11 Fan Speed
This parameter determines the speed (and sound level) of the FS4's internal cooling fans.
For long term reliability, the fan speed should be set as high as possible, only lowering
the speed if fan noise is a concern. At 25C (77F) ambient temperature any speed setting
(1 to 10) provides adequate cooling. At 40C (104F) ambient, a fan speed of 5 or higher is
recommended. The FS4 also has built-in thermal protection that will increase the fan
speed automatically if necessary.
12 Serial Number
This parameter displays the FS4’s unique serial number. Please reference this number if
you contact AJA customer support.
13 Software Version
This parameter displays the FS4’s software version number.
14 Reboot
This parameter lets you reboot the FS4. Press and hold in both front panel knobs
simultaneously to reboot.
During reboot, the display shows
[Rebooting]
, goes dark momentarily, and then shows
the percentage of progress as the system reboots. Reboot should take no longer than 90
seconds.
AUDIO Menu Group
The following descriptions explain the AUDIO Menu Group, which allows you to make
adjustments to the FS4’s sample rate converters, Mix Down Modes, and some other
system wide settings.
1 MADI Output
Mode
This parameter controls the number of MADI channels sent to both the MADI BNC and
Fiber output connectors, 64 or 56.
If the FS4 receives 56 channels and is set to output 64 channels, active silent channels 57
to 64 are added to the output. When the FS4 receives 64 channels and is set to output 56
channels, channels 57 to 64 are dropped on the output.
