AJA FS4 1RU 4K/2K/HD/SD Frame Sync and Cross-Converter

The Ultimate 4K Toolbox

Harness Single or Four Channel Modes in a 1RU frame with AJA's FS4 4K/2K/HD/SD Frame Sync and Cross-Converter. The FS4 utilizes AJA’s flagship frame synchronizer and converter technology offering versatility and connectivity in a sleek 1RU frame for all your 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD/SD conversion needs.

Offering a wide range of connection options for both video and audio, the FS4 can do the work of four separate devices in 2K/HD/SD or combine all processors and channels together for maximum flexibility for 4K/UltraHD up, down, cross-conversion to and from 2K/HD/SD. FS4’s digital audio prowess includes audio embedding and disembedding with routing in an 277 by 208 audio matrix across SDI embedded audio, AES and MADI. FS4 also includes industry proven features such as RGB color correction, Region of Interest scaling for 2K/HD and SD, web UI control, GPI triggers and more.

New thinking from AJA led to a new interface layout and FS4’s front panel has been redesigned to simplify and speed your access to the product’s wealth of features. The panel has also been designed to provide straightforward operation in single channel or four channel mode. In four channel mode, all four VIDx buttons under Channel Select are lit up. In single channel mode, only VID1 is lit and VID2-4 are off.

Adding to the flexibility of the FS4 are AJA's SFP module options that contain both 12G/6G-SDI HD-BNC and Fiber I/O options including single and dual channel Single Mode options and Multi-Mode options, allowing great SDI flexibility and fiber cable runs of up to 6.21-miles (10 kilometers) to be connected directly to the FS4 without the need for separate fiber to SDI conversion.
