Technical Description
The FS2 features an incredibly flexible architecture offering two identical Video/Audio
processing units, both of which can access any input or drive any output. For Video
processing, each processor can also access the other video processor for sidebar keying
or other functions that involve both video signals. For audio processing, each audio
processor has access to any audio input for full channel mapping capability, and each
audio processor outputs a 16-channel group that can be embedded in the SDI/HDMI/
Fiber outputs and/or sent to the AES or Analog outputs.

Video Processors
The two Video Processors are identical and perform format conversion, frame
synchronization, signal processing, and keying operations. Each video processor has
access to any video input from the Input Crosspoint Matrix.
