Master Your HDR & WCG Workflow with Real-Time Conversion
Navigating the complexities of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) workflows is a critical challenge in modern broadcast, OTT, and live event production. Delivering a consistent, high-quality visual experience across multiple formats requires powerful, reliable, and flexible processing.
The AJA FS-HDR is the definitive solution, a 1RU universal converter and frame synchronizer engineered to master this challenge. Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the FS-HDR leverages the renowned Colorfront Engine™ to provide real-time, low-latency HDR/WCG conversions and processing with unparalleled color fidelity. Bridge the gap between formats effortlessly. The FS-HDR excels at real-time transformations: SDR to HDR, HDR to SDR, and HDR to HDR. It ensures your creative intent is preserved, from 4K/UltraHD to 2K/HD. Whether you're integrating legacy SDR content into an HDR broadcast or creating simultaneous HDR and SDR deliverables, the FS-HDR simplifies every step.
Its power is matched by its versatility. In Single-Channel Mode, it's a formidable 4K/UltraHD powerhouse, offering up/down/cross-conversion and frame synchronization. Switch to Four-Channel Mode to simultaneously process four independent 2K/HD signals, each with its own HDR transformation. This multi-channel density makes it an indispensable tool for OB vans, post-production suites, and broadcast facilities where space and efficiency are paramount. From direct camera LOG conversions to advanced LUT management and robust audio routing, the AJA FS-HDR provides the comprehensive toolset needed to future-proof your workflow and deliver stunning, immersive content to any audience.
