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.

Up-Conversion

  • Hardware 10-bit
  • 4×3 Pillar: results in a 4×3 image at center screen with black sidebars
  • 14×9 Pillar: results in a 4×3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14×9 image with black side bars

  • Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
  • Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16×9 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 16×9 aspect ratio
  • 14×9: 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
  • 14×9: anamorphic to 14×9 conversion
