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

description

The 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.

Simplified Block Diagram

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 RCA-style audio monitor outputs.

USB and Mini-Config Support

AJA’s free Mini-Config software can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.

Universal Power Supply

All AJA Mini-Converters ship with a universal power supply that includes international plug connections for use around the world.

Compact and Portable

AJA Mini-Converters are small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector can't accidentally pull loose and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.

AJA Mini-Matrix

Information on the complete line of AJA Mini-Converters is now available as a mobile app on iOS. The Mini-Converter product line is extensive and this app helps you find the right converter for any situation, wherever you are.
