Real-Time HDR and SDR Conversion
The AJA FS-HDR-R0 is specifically designed for real-time HDR (High Dynamic Range) and SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) conversion, making it a valuable tool for production environments that need to transform and integrate content across different dynamic ranges. The FS-HDR supports various HDR standards, including HDR10, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), Dolby Vision, and PQ (Perceptual Quantizer), offering a flexible solution for handling HDR/SDR workflows in live broadcasting, post-production, and on-demand content delivery.
12G-SDI and 3G-SDI Connectivity
With support for 12G-SDI and quad-link 3G-SDI, the FS-HDR allows for streamlined 4K/UltraHD workflows over a single cable, simplifying infrastructure and reducing setup complexity. These connectivity options make the FS-HDR ideal for modern broadcast environments where 4K and HDR content needs to be processed efficiently. Additionally, the unit supports multiple video formats, including 4K/UltraHD, 2K, and HD, allowing for seamless integration with legacy systems and newer UHD workflows.
Up/Down/Cross-Conversion for Versatility
The FS-HDR offers up/down/cross-conversion between 4K, UltraHD, 2K, and HD formats, allowing producers to deliver content across a range of platforms and distribution formats. Whether upscaling HD content to 4K or downscaling 4K content to HD for streaming, the FS-HDR ensures high-quality, frame-accurate conversions. This versatility is essential for broadcast operations that work with multiple video standards and resolutions.
Colorfront Engine™ for Advanced Color Processing
The FS-HDR integrates Colorfront Engine™ technology, a powerful color processing system developed in partnership with Colorfront, known for its use in high-end post-production and broadcast mastering. This technology ensures accurate, real-time color transforms between HDR and SDR formats, enabling users to maintain precise color fidelity when moving content between different dynamic ranges. This is particularly valuable for projects that require accurate color grading and HDR mastering.
Frame Synchronization for Stable Video
The FS-HDR includes frame synchronization to ensure that all video signals are perfectly aligned and stable, eliminating issues like frame drops and signal jitter. This is crucial for live broadcasts, multi-camera setups, and remote productions where maintaining synchronized signals across multiple sources is essential for smooth production flow.
Comprehensive Audio Processing
In addition to video, the FS-HDR supports 16-channel embedded audio over SDI and includes powerful audio routing and delay adjustment features. This enables users to extract, process, and re-embed audio signals with precise synchronization, ensuring that both audio and video remain aligned throughout the production. The FS-HDR also offers AES audio support, allowing for flexible integration into complex audio workflows.
Closed Captioning and Timecode Support
The FS-HDR ensures that closed captioning is preserved during video conversions, meeting compliance with broadcast standards and regulations. It also provides timecode conversion, allowing for accurate synchronization across different video sources and formats, which is critical for multi-camera and post-production workflows where precise timecode alignment is necessary.
Dual Redundant Power Supplies for Reliability
Designed for mission-critical environments, the FS-HDR is equipped with dual redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a power failure. This redundancy is essential for live events, broadcast studios, and remote production setups where uninterrupted operation is paramount.
Web-Based Remote Control and Automation
The FS-HDR can be controlled remotely via a web-based interface, allowing operators to configure and adjust settings from anywhere with network access. This capability is particularly useful for remote production teams and broadcast control rooms that need real-time access to system controls. Additionally, the FS-HDR supports GPI triggers for automation, enabling streamlined workflows in live productions.
Compact 1RU Design for Professional Integration
The FS-HDR fits into a 1RU rack-mountable chassis, making it ideal for broadcast racks, OB trucks, and post-production suites. Its compact design allows for easy integration into existing infrastructures without taking up valuable space, while still delivering high-end HDR and SDR conversion capabilities.
Ideal Use Cases
The AJA FS-HDR-R0 is perfect for broadcast professionals, live event producers, and post-production teams who need reliable and real-time HDR/SDR conversion along with frame synchronization and multi-format video processing. Its flexible connectivity, advanced color processing with Colorfront Engine™, and support for multiple HDR standards make it ideal for live production, color grading, broadcast mastering, and UHD workflows.
