FS-MINI - Overview

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

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 a 2-channel RCA style audio output. The FS-Mini also provides high quality up, down, cross-conversion.

The device also features a reference input that can be used to lock to a local reference. It can be simply controlled via local DIP switches or USB with AJA's Mini-Config application.

  • Features:

      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 Conversion 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
