AJA FS3 Frame Synchronizer SD/HD to 4K Up Conversion, Fiber I/O Option, Remote Configuration and Control, Incredible Connectivity | FS3

FS3 – Overview

The new FS3 combines AJA’s industry-proven frame synchronization with high-quality 4K up-conversion technology to seamlessly integrate SD and HD signals into 4K workflows. AJA’s adaptive scaling algorithms, paired with our well-known conversion technology ensures your up-converted images will have the maximum quality possible. Input SD or HD resolution SDI via BNC or Fiber and send up-converted 4K to multiple BNC and Fiber outputs simultaneously. FS3 also includes the industry-proven features included in AJA frame synchronizers such as RGB color correction, region of interest scaling, extensive audio controls and routing, web UI control, GPI triggers and more.

Up-convert to 4K
Moving to 4K is never an instant change. Legacy signals and archival material need to be integrated into the 4K environment. Utilizing AJA’s remarkable conversion algorithms, FS3 supports up-conversion from SD, HD, and 3G-SDI video to 4K or UHD video carried on quad 3G-SDI BNCs, dual 3G-SDI BNCs, or optional fiber LC SFP outputs. Both Quadrant (Square Division) and 2SI (Two Sample Interleave) output formats are supported.

Incredible Connectivity
FS3 has BNC and Fiber* inputs to accept SD or HD resolution SDI signals. The up-converted 4K signal is output to two sets of BNC and Fiber* connections, allowing the output to be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without the need for any external signal distribution.

A looping Reference input allows the FS3 to be locked to your house reference signal for rock-solid stability.

* Fiber inputs and outputs are optional.

AJA hardware conversion technology
We bring the same AJA conversion technology to FS3 as we have to all our other conversion products, ensuring your legacy material can move with you to 4K with the highest image quality for your productions.
