The AJA FS2-R1 Dual Channel Universal 3G/HD/SD Audio/Video Frame Sync/Converter is a powerful solution designed for the most demanding broadcast and production environments. Whether you need to synchronize disparate video sources, convert between different formats, or manage complex audio workflows, the FS2-R1 provides the flexibility and reliability required for critical applications.

With its dual-channel capability, the FS2-R1 can process two independent video streams simultaneously, each with its own frame sync, format conversion, and audio embedding/de-embedding. This makes it an ideal choice for live production, broadcast facilities, and post-production environments where multiple video signals need to be managed seamlessly.

The FS2-R1 supports a wide range of video formats, including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and even analog video, ensuring compatibility with both modern and legacy equipment. Its up/down/cross conversion capabilities allow for easy integration of various signal types into a unified workflow, simplifying complex production setups.

Audio handling is equally versatile, with support for embedded audio, AES audio, and analog audio inputs and outputs. The FS2-R1 provides comprehensive audio channel mapping and processing, making it easy to manage multi-channel audio in any configuration.

Despite its extensive capabilities, the FS2-R1 maintains a compact 1RU form factor, making it suitable for installations where space is at a premium. Its robust design and intuitive controls ensure that it can handle the rigors of daily use in professional environments.
