The AJA FS1-X-R0 is designed to meet the demands of professional broadcast and production environments where precise frame synchronization and format conversion are critical. Whether you are managing a live broadcast, post-production workflow, or media distribution network, the FS1-X-R0 ensures that all your video and audio signals are properly synchronized and converted to the required formats, providing a seamless and reliable operation.

One of the standout features of the FS1-X-R0 is its comprehensive support for MADI audio. This allows for the transmission of up to 64 channels of digital audio over a single cable, making it ideal for environments where complex audio routing and processing are required. The inclusion of MADI support significantly reduces the complexity of audio cabling, while ensuring high-quality audio transmission with minimal latency.

The FS1-X-R0 excels in format conversion, providing high-quality up, down, and cross-conversion between various video formats and resolutions, including SD, HD, and 3G-SDI. This capability ensures that your media is compatible with both legacy and modern equipment, allowing you to easily integrate different sources into a unified workflow.

Despite its powerful capabilities, the FS1-X-R0 is housed in a compact 1RU design, making it an efficient choice for installations where rack space is limited. This space-saving design is particularly beneficial in mobile broadcast units or smaller production facilities where every rack unit counts.

The unit’s flexible audio processing features provide extensive control over audio signals, allowing for precise adjustments to ensure that audio remains in perfect sync with video. With capabilities such as audio delay, routing, and sample rate conversion, the FS1-X-R0 ensures that your audio is processed and delivered with the highest quality.

Connectivity is another area where the FS1-X-R0 shines. It includes a broad range of input and output options, such as dual SDI, HDMI, fiber, and AES/EBU, providing the flexibility to connect to a wide array of professional video and audio equipment. This ensures that the FS1-X-R0 can be easily integrated into virtually any broadcast or production setup.

Genlock and timecode support are critical for maintaining accurate synchronization across all connected devices, especially in complex broadcast chains. The FS1-X-R0’s robust synchronization capabilities ensure that all video and audio signals are perfectly aligned, preventing timing issues that can disrupt live broadcasts or post-production workflows.

For remote control and monitoring, the FS1-X-R0 offers a web browser interface and SNMP support, allowing operators to manage and monitor the unit from a central location. This is particularly useful in large-scale operations where multiple devices need to be controlled and monitored simultaneously.

Reliability is a key consideration in any professional environment, and the FS1-X-R0 delivers with its redundant power supply option. This feature provides an additional layer of security, ensuring that the unit remains operational even in the event of a power supply failure, which is essential for mission-critical broadcast applications.
