AJA FS1 Installation and Operation Guide

Connector
Descriptions
• 10/100 LAN—RJ45 Ethernet connector.
FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Connectors
• SDI In/Out—digital video with embedded audio. There are two input and two
output BNC connectors. The outputs are active all the time, although you must
specify the output format (and thus whether any conversion takes place). SDI 2
can follow the input (“bypass”)—see description on the following page.
• Component In/Out YPbPr/RGB—video, 3 BNCs for input, and 3 BNCs for
output. Component can follow the input (“bypass”)—see the description on the
following page.
• S-Video In/Out (Y/C)—one 4-pinmini-DIN for input, and one 4-pin mini-DIN
for output—see the description on the following page. 1
• Composite In/Out —NTSC/ PAL video, 1 BNC for input, and 1 BNC for
output—see the description on the following page.
• Ref Loop—reference video (looping), 2 BNCs.
• RS-422—DE-9 connector reserved for future use.
Each of these groups of connectors are discussed on the following pages.
8 Channel AES/EBU Audio Inputs And
Outputs
One BNC is provided for each of four pairs of
channels, both on the input and output: 1/2, 3/4,
5/6, and 7/8.
AES/EBU signals are handled by the FS1
internally as 24-bit digital.
Analog 8 Channel Audio
The two DB25 connectors, one for input and one
for output, support a TASCAM-style cable snake for
balanced 8-channel audio. Analog audio signals are
converted internally to 24-bit digital audio inputs
and outputs.
RS-422 Port
This DE-9 connector is reserved for future use.
