Appendix A: Specifications
Video Format Conversion
The FS2 can convert almost any input format to nearly any output format, as long as the
frame rates are of the same family. The three families are:
• 59.94/29.97/23.98
• 50/25
• 60/30/24
Available input and output formats are listed later in this appendix.
Conversion Exceptions • The following frame rates are not supported for input or output:
• 720p23.98/24/25/29.97/30.
• The FS2 cannot convert a 29.97 or 59.97 input to 23.98 Hz.
• The FS2 cannot convert a 30 Hz or 60 Hz input to 24 Hz.
• Outputs of 23.98 or 24 Hz can be derived only from 23.98 or 24 Hz inputs.
• Component I/O does not support 1080p.
• The FS2 does not support reverse 3:2 pulldown.
• The FS2 does not accept or produce 4:4:4 YCbCr, RGB, or XYZ inputs or outputs.
• The FS2 does not accept or produce YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit inputs or outputs.
• The FS2 does not support embedded audio output for the following formats:
• 2K1080p 29.97 or 2K1080p 30
• 2K1080p 59.94 or 2K1080p 60 when 3G Config is set to 3 Gb Level B or 1.5 Gb
DualLink.
• The FS2 does not convert NTSC to PAL-M, or vice versa.
Video Format Alarms When incompatible I/O formats are detected, an alarm can be triggered with these
results:
• Lights the relevant alarm LED on the front panel (FMT ERROR, 1 or 2).
• Displays an alarm in the browser user interface.
• Influences selection of the first-displayed status screen.
• Generates an SNMP trap (if configured).
• Triggers a GPI Output (if configured).
Video Input/Output Formats
SDI and Fiber
The FS2 has two standard SDI video inputs and outputs, and two optional Fiber video
inputs and outputs.
All SDI video inputs and outputs, including Fiber, are YCbCr 4:2:2 pixel format.
