The Power to Convert

AJA’s FS family offers the full power of our trusted hardware conversion expertise in compact 1RU rack Frame Synchronizer units that offer unrivaled flexibility. Delivering AJA’s industry standard up, down, cross-conversion technology for the highest quality images, FS units are ideal for high density applications such as mobile trucks and packed machine rooms, replacing multiple hardware units in a single rack space with up to 4-channels of 2K/HD/SD or 1-channel of 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD processing in a single 1RU frame. The wide range of conversion possibilities makes them perfect for aligning disparate sources to a common format, integrating legacy signals into higher resolution workflows, or handling whatever the production environment might throw at you.

FS-HDR additionally adds real time SDR/PQ/HLG transformations with 3D LUT, Colorfront Engine, BBC HLG LUTs, and NBCU LUTs conversion capabilities on top of a full suite of FS product video and audio processing tools.

FS products support the latest connectivity, with models supporting 12G-SDI, HDMI, and even fiber I/O.

To integrate smoothly with the existing automation of a facility, many models can also receive external GPI commands to trigger a variety of functions.
