AJA FS1 Installation and Operation Guide

FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel
Status Display Pressing the Status button under the AJA logo pages through the eight status
displays. Normally, you'll be viewing the main status screen shown in a previous
illustration. It’s the default screen at powerup. Information contained in the
status display shows the current primary settings for the FS1:
• Input Format (upper left)
• Output Format (lower left)
• Selected Video Input setting (upper right)
• Selected Audio Input setting (lower right)
Input Format Video Input setting
Output Format Audio Input setting
For example, if set up to do a cross-convert from 1080i59.94 to 720p59.94
using embedded audio in and out, the display would look as follows:
IN 1080i59.94 SDI 1
OUT 720p59.94 SDI 1
If the selected input has no valid signal present, the FS1 displays IN No Input.
Note: If the input is incompatible with the chosen output format, the default
status screen will display the actual format, such as IN 525i 59.94. The video
format status screen, however, would be the default status screen at that point
(since the Alarm LED would be on), and it would display IN Incompat.
The other seven status displays are listed and described below:
The video format status screen shows the status of the active video input, the
output format, the genlock source, and the format of the reference signal (if
applicable). For example, if the Output Format is set to Follow REF, but
there is no valid reference signal present, the Output Format section of the
video format status screen will read OUT No Ref.
The sidebar status screen shows the main input format, sidebar input format,
output format, and sidebar input select. Any incompatibilities between
these formats are shown as Incompat.
The sidebar input screen always shows the detected formats of the main input
and the sidebar input—to help resolve incompatibilities.
The power/temperature status screen displays power supply and temperature
status. If a power supply is unplugged or an error is detected, the display top
line reads PS 1 OFF, PS 2 OFF, PS 1 Error, or PS 2 Error, respectively.
(When Power Supply Alarm filter (60.1) is set to Suppress; the display still
reads Power OK even if a power supply is unplugged.) If the FS1 internal
temperature threshold is exceeded, the display lower line reads
OVERHEATED and video output may be compromised. If the front panel
Alarm LED is lit, the reason should be evident if you check the video format
and power/temperature status screens.
