FS2 v2.1r1 www.aja.com

NOTE: The configuration of the FS2 prior to the upgrade is preserved. The unit returns to service
exactly as it was before the upgrade.
If there is a power outage or glitch during
the software download, the FS2 will boot the
older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. This happens because
the FS2 has been designed with a safety feature where an internal “safe” copy of the
previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails.
System Cabling
System Video/Audio
Cable Connections
When installing your system, you’ll make video and audio input/output connections.
These connectors are explained individually in Chapter 2.
GPI Connections The FS2 has four GPI inputs and four GPI outputs. The GPI inputs and outputs are
electrically isolated from the power and ground on the FS2 frame. Electrical isolation is
provided for up to four pieces of external equipment.
See “GPI Pinouts” on page 108 for information on how to wire the GPI connector to work
with external devices that you want to use to contr
ol the FS2 or that you want the FS2 to
control.
FS2 Audio Level
Choices—Pro or
Consumer, US or
EBU
Since the FS2 handles both digital and analog audio and can convert between the two, it
provides analog and digital audio level settings in the front panel menus and the remote
web browser. Standard practice typically sets the maximum audio level approximately 20
db above the operating (alignment) level, allowing enough headroom to handle peaks
without clipping. Because different countries and equipment types use different
operating and maximum levels, the FS2 has several audio level settings. These settings
allow you to set the relationship between the analog and digital audio levels to
accommodate the equipment and audio operating standards you use.
