AJA OG-FS-Mini 3G-SDI Frame Synchronizer - OG-FS-MINI

OG-FS-Mini is an openGear broadcast quality utility frame sync that packs the production-proven reliability of AJA’s leading FS frame sync technology into an openGear card, supporting frame synchronization of untimed 3G-SDI, HD, and SD video signals at an affordable price.

OG-FS-Mini allows users to synchronize and convert a wide range of video formats to their house standard with a 3G-SDI input and output, HDMI output, and two 3-pin terminal block connectors for balanced analog audio outputs. The OG-FS-Mini also provides high quality up, down, cross-conversion.

OG-FS-Mini is designed for use in high-density openGear’s 2RU frames including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame. DashBoard software support on Windows®, macOS® and Linux offers remote control and monitoring of the openGear architecture and provides convenient and industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control options over a PC or local network.

Up-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
4x3 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars
14x9 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black side bars
Full Screen: results in a 4x3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16x9 screen
Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16x9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
14x9: image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved, black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped
Auto AFD: automatically selects the best down-convert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code
Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
Cross-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
1080i to 720p
720p to 1080i
720p to 1080PsF
Aspect Ratio Converstion for
SD to SD
Letterbox: transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image
H Crop: produces a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
SD Pillarbox: produces an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
V Crop: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
14x9: anamorphic to 14x9 conversion

Simplified Block Diagram
OG-FS-Mini is designed to meet demands of broadcast engineering and live event production while providing incredible flexibility. It receives an untimed signal, frame syncs it, processes it and automatically routes it to both the SDI output for use in production and the HDMI output for monitoring. The user selects which 2-channels of audio are routed to the balanced analog audio monitor outputs.

openGear Compatibility
The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the future of rackframe products.

Flexible I/O
The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).

Failsafe
The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.

Ethernet Access
A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.

DashBoard Software
DashBoard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
