AJA FS8
The AJA FS8 is a professional, real-time processor designed for complex HDR and WCG workflows in broadcast, film, and live event production. It provides powerful conversion capabilities, including HDR to HDR, HDR to SDR, and SDR to HDR, ensuring consistent color accuracy across different standards. The FS8 is built around a flexible architecture where each processing channel can be independently configured, utilizing advanced engines like the Colorfront Engine, BBC HLG 3D LUTs, and NBCU 3D LUTs. It supports a vast range of input and output dynamic ranges and color gamuts, from standard SDR BT.709 to various camera log formats like Sony S-Log3, ARRI Log C, and RED Log3G10. With support for user-loadable 3D LUTs and dynamic LUT integration with software like Pomfort Livegrade Pro, the FS8 is an indispensable tool for on-set look management, broadcast color correction, and OTT delivery. Its extensive I/O, including 8 channels of 12G-SDI and optional SMPTE ST 2110 support, makes it suitable for any modern production environment.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
