Introduction
About this manual
This user guide covers both the FRS-1002-MD and FRS-1002-MD-LG-PA
cards. The FRS-1002 cards share many common features and the general
content of this user guide applies to both products. Content and features
specific to either product will be outlined by these graphic headers, so they
can be easily associated with the proper product. Enjoy your reading.
Overview
The Algogear™ FRS-1002-MD Frame Synchronizer is designed to
synchronize asynchronous video feeds on a reference, in both standard
and high-definition SDI environments on up to two channels. It supports
standard definition and high-definition video formats including 1080i/60,
1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/60, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 576i/50, and
480i/59.94.
The FRS-1002 will automatically drop or repeat video input frames to
maintain synchronization to the house sync signal. Additional delay
can also be added to the synchronizing process in pixel, line or frame
increments. Up to 11 additional frames of delay can be added in HD.
Users can also adjust embedded audio (16 channels, 4 groups) with audio
parameter controls including gain, mute and delay adjustment (up to 10
seconds). The Audio Sample Rate Converter can be disabled, or set to
automatically detect non-PCM data and disabled on a per-input basis.
Video and audio delay can be controlled independently.
For added flexibility, the FRS-1002-MD-LG-PA contains a video proc amp,
allowing users to adjust video parameters such as brightness, contrast
and saturation. Hue control is available for SD standards. In addition, the
video legalizer ensures video signals conform to industry-defined «legal»
limited ranges.
