AJA now has the new FS2 available

The AJA FS2 dual-channel frame and format converter synchronizer is now available. The FS2 is built on the popular FS1, incorporating dual-channel features into a 1RU design.

AJA Video Systems has begun marketing the FS2, the new frame synchronizer and format converter with two completely independent channels that support virtually any input or output.
FS2 can be used as two separate synchronizers/converters or combine the channels to support a wide range of workflows.

The FS2 is built on the popular FS1, incorporating dual-channel features into a 1RU design.

Each FS2 video channel supports analog or composite component video, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, Dual-Link and HDMI I/O, as well as fiber optic input/output options. Each channel has its own still-store, keyer and video corrector. With support for all broadcast video formats in a single converter box, the FS2 makes it easy to match all audio and video systems, making it ideal for broadcast installations, mobile production units and other multi-format production environments.

The FS2 can be used for a wide variety of conversion, adaptation, timing and processing processes, including dual-channel 10-bit iup/down/cross conversion between different SD and HD formats including 1080p50/60; HD/SD frame sync; analog-digital and digital-analog audio and video conversion; multiplexing and demultiplexing of two separate HD signals from one 3G SDI signal; 3G/HD/SD video conversion over fiber to/from SDI (BNC); color correction and adjustment; independent adjustment of the timing of two parallel video channels; Dolby E encoding and decoding with full channel mapping (available as an option).
