Unparalleled Flexibility in a 1RU Frame
Experience unmatched flexibility and power with the AJA FS2, the ultimate solution for dual-channel conversion and frame synchronizing, all housed in a slim, space-saving 1RU chassis. The FS2 effectively does the work of two separate devices, allowing you to simultaneously process two independent streams of HD/SD 10-bit broadcast-quality video and two groups of multi-channel audio. For even more advanced applications, you can combine both processing channels with the internal keyer, tackling complex tasks like HD sidebar keying with ease.
At the core of the FS2 is AJA's powerful hardware conversion technology, ensuring the highest possible image quality for your productions. Effortlessly handle any conversion task, including SD/HD up/down-conversion, SD/SD aspect ratio changes, and HD/HD cross-conversion (720p/1080i). The FS2's architecture is built for demanding environments, offering full input and output signal routing. Assign any I/O port to either processing channel, giving you complete control over your signal flow.
Connectivity is comprehensive. The FS2 supports virtually any input or output, from analog component or composite to 3G-SDI, Dual Link, and HDMI. For audio, each of the two processors handles 16-channel AES/EBU digital audio, 16-channel embedded audio, and 8-channel balanced analog audio. Optional Fiber I/O modules allow direct connection of fiber runs up to 10 kilometers, eliminating the need for external converters.
Designed for modern broadcast engineering and live events, the FS2 is network-ready for remote configuration and control via any web browser. Its robust design includes dual, redundant power supplies to ensure uninterrupted operation. Backed by AJA's industry-leading support and a generous five-year international warranty, the FS2 is the reliable, high-performance cornerstone for any professional video workflow.
