AJA FS1-X - Converter
Introducing the AJA FS1-X
The AJA FS1-X offers a complete range of audio and video inputs/outputs for converting a wide range of analog and digital signals. It comes in a rugged, compact 1RU chassis.
The converter integrates 16 channels of AES audio, 8 channels of analog audio, 64 channels of MADI audio over coaxial or fiber optic cable, GPI and LAN control, optional fiber optic SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, Component, Composite and Reference with Loop-Through, supporting all broadcast video formats. The front panel features illuminated menu selection buttons, an alphanumeric LCD display with status and control information, parameter selection and adjustment buttons, and activity LEDs displaying settings and conditions.
The FS1-X supports redundant power supplies and includes two power cords. It can be quickly configured by any computer on the network via a standard web browser, and can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is sufficient fresh air ventilation around it.

| Audio Input Digital | 64-channel MADI, Coax or Fiber, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous 16-channel, 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous 16-channel, 24-bit AES/EBU audio, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous or Non-synchronous, Internal sample rate conversion (4x BNC) |
| Audio Input Analog | 8-channel, 24-bit A/D analog audio, 48 kHz sample rate, balanced (25 pin “D” TASCAM connector) |
| Audio Output Digital | 64-channel MADI, Coax or Fiber, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous 16-channel, 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous 16-channel, 24-bit AES/EBU audio, 48 kHz sample rate, Synchronous or Non-synchronous, Internal sample rate conversion (4x BNC) |
| Up-Conversion | Hardware 10-bit Anamorphic: full-screen Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change |
| Down-Conversion | Hardware 10-bit Anamorphic: full-screen Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size |
| Cross-Conversion | Hardware 10-bit 1080i to 720p 720p to 1080i 1080p to 720p, 720p to 1080p |
| SD to SD Aspect Ratio Conversion | Letterbox: transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image H Crop: will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame SD Pillarbox: produces an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center V Crop: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image |
