FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Front Panel

Status Display

There are eight different status displays you may see (the main status display was
shown in the previous illustration). The other status displays are the video format
status
display, sidebar status and sidebar input displays, power/temperature display,
close-captioning status, AJA logo, and System Name display. You can page through
the status displays by repeatedly pressing the “Status” button under the AJA logo
on the front panel.

Normally, you'll be viewing the Main Status screen shown earlier. 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)

Output Format (lower left)

Selected Video 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

status 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 second status screen is the video format status screen. It 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 aare 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 next status screen is the power/temperature status screen. If a power supply
error is detected, the top line of the display will read “PS 1 Error” or “PS 2
Error.
” If one of the power supplies is not plugged in, or fails completely, the
display will read “PS 1 OFF” or “PS 2 OFF”, respectively. (If the Power Supply
Alarm filter (60.1)
is set to “Suppress”; then it will read “Power OK” instead.)
