FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Remote Web Browser Control

Remote Web Browser Control

The FS1 internally contains an optimized web server that allows remote

monitoring and parameter setting via a network-attached computer running a

web-browser.

From a network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more

FS1 devices, even getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and

rear panel (front: Identify, rear: ID).

Networks can be closed local area networks, a straight computer-to-FS1 cable, or

for greatest flexibility, exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN.

The FS1 uses a standard RJ45 LAN connector, but internally the connection is

intelligent and communicates via standard “straight-through” CAT 5 ethernet

cables or null-modem (cross-over) cables with no configuration or strapping.

Note:

Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 and 9, and Chrome are the supported web

browsers for FS1 control. Other browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee

operation.

The browser GUI operation and features are discussed in Chapter 5.

SNMP Interface

SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions. SNMP support is

described in Chapter 6.

Block Diagram

Description

The FS1 features a very flexible architecture that allows simultaneous HD/SD

operation. There are three separate frame synchronizers in the FS1: a full up/

down/cross-converting synchronizer, a downconverting synchronizer, and a

standard HD/SD non-converting synchronizer. This architecture allows the

following functions:

• HD cross-converting with simultaneous downconverted SDI output

• Up/down/cross-converting with both the input and converted formats on

SD/HD SDI outputs (both synchronized)

• Up/down/cross-converting with dual SD/HD-SDI outputs

• Composite and S-Video outputs are always active (dedicated down-

converter for HD inputs)

For example, the FS1 can input 720p, and output both cross-converted 1080i HD-

SDI and down-converted 525i SDI (or 1080i in and 720p and 525i out).

The FS1 also allows the user to set the output format, and the conversion will be

automatic depending on what the input is. The FS1’s output format can also be

controlled by using the reference input (follows the reference input format).

Controls and Indicators

When installing the AJA FS1 chassis, you’ll make media cable connections to a variety

of equipment. After installation, the front panel indicators will be useful in

monitoring what is happening on the system as well as troubleshooting problems

that can occur. Becoming familiar with the FS1 front and rear panels will simplify

installation, setup, and operation of the system. Use of the web browser user

interface and Remote Control Panel option are described in a Chapter 5.

On the following pages are front and rear panel illustrations with notations that

summarize all of the connectors and indicators. Detailed descriptions of each of the

connectors and indicators follow afterward.

Full installation instructions are provided in Chapter 3 later in this manual.

Note:

The AJA FS1 should be plugged into 3-prong 100-240 VAC power before you

make

connections to other equipment. The AC cords provide a path to ground for

accidental static discharge to protect system equipment. The FS1 has two fully

independent and redundant power supplies and will operate with one or both AC

power cords plugged into the unit. However, fault-tolerance exists only if both power

supplies are connected and plugged into separate branch circuits. Then if power is

lost on a branch or a supply, the FS1 will continue to operate on the remaining circuit

and power supply.

Warning:

To meet safety regulations for leakage current and to achieve full

redundancy, connect the FS1 dual power supplies to separate branch circuits.

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)

• Ou

tput Format (lower left)

• Selected Vi

deo Input setting (upper right)

• Selected

Audio Input setting (lower right)

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:

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

s

tatus 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.

The close-captioning status screen shows whether closed caption data is present

on the selected video input.

The AJA logo is displayed when no button activity occurs for 60 minutes.

The FS1’s System Name has been previously defined (how to enter/edit it is

described in Chapter 4, Parameter Menus, System Name 50.5).

Controlling the

FS1—Using the

Select and Adjust

Buttons

The FS1's control system is designed to be easy to use and remember. All functions

in the menu system are numbered for easy reference. Two pairs of up/down

buttons named Select and Adjust provide control. Pressing any of these four

buttons immediately puts the FS1 into control mode:

To operate the FS1, use the Select buttons to select a function or parameter. Then

use the Adjust buttons to adjust the selected function or parameter.

The control display has two lines:

The top line contains a numbered and named FS1 parameter and or function.

The lower line contains the current setting.

The parameter Select buttons select a parameter to view or modify.

Pressing a parameter Adjust button changes the current parameter's value to a new

one from the FS1's list of choices—repeating the list if you continue to press

Adjust or adjusting a numerical value up or down. The exact choices displayed

will vary depending on the parameter. Adjustment choices made with the

Adjust buttons take effect immediately (except 1.1 Output Format which has a

1/2 second delay). In most cases, changed parameters will be stored into the

FS1’s non-volatile memory after the parameter remains unchanged for 3

seconds. Exceptions are the IP Address, IP Config, Subnet Mask and all SNMP

parameters; for these you must exit the selection to activate changes.

Holding down a Select or Adjust button continuously changes the choices

automatically with acceleration if applicable.

Pressing either a Select or an Adjust button while on the Status or Screen Saver

displays changes the display to the last remembered control menu.

Holding down both the Adjust (up) and Adjust (down) buttons—at the same time

will set that parameter back to its factory default value.

For some parameters, once the parameter is selected, the first Adjust button

pressed begins the editing. The top Select button then can be used to choose

the position (left to right) within the parameter being edited.

Holding down both the Select buttons at the same time returns the front panel

menu to parameter 1.1 Output Format. If you are editing an octet, string or

other parameter that requires a commit action (like editing a blinking IP

address) and you press both Select buttons, the edit will terminate (will not take

effect and will not be saved). On the other hand, if you are editing menu items

that normally take effect as they are edited (e.g. procamp gain), the edited

value will take effect.

Note:

Parameter displays and adjustment choices and values are described in

detail in Chapter 4.
