AJA OG-FS-Mini 3G-SDI
Frame Synchronizer
AJA OG-FS-Mini is an
openGear broadcast quality utility frame sync that
packs the production-proven reliability of AJA’s
leading FS frame sync technology into an openGear
card, supporting frame synchronization of untimed
3G-SDI, HD, and SD video signals at an affordable
price.
OG-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 two 3-pin terminal
block connectors for balanced analog audio outputs.
The OG-FS-Mini also provides high quality up, down,
cross-conversion.
OG-FS-Mini is designed for
use in high-density openGear’s 2RU frames including
AJA’s OG-X-FR frame. DashBoard software support on
Windows®, macOS® and Linux offers remote control and
monitoring of the openGear architecture and provides
convenient and industry-standard configuration,
monitoring and control options over a PC or local
network.

|
| 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 sidebars
- Full Screen: results in a 4×3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16×9 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 16×9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change
|
| Down-Conversion |
- Hardware 10-bit
- Crop: image is cropped to fit the 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 the 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 a black top and bottom added to the 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 amorphized image in the center
- V Crop: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
- 14×9: anamorphic to 14×9 conversion
