Video Input/Output Formats
The FS1-X supports a wide variety of video formats and connectors, as listed below.
SDI and Fiber
The FS1-X has two standard SDI video inputs and outputs, and two optional Fiber video inputs and outputs.
All SDI video inputs and outputs, including Fiber, are YCbCr 4:2:2 pixel format.

Format Exceptions
The following formats are not supported:
- 720p 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97
- All 30, 60 frame rates
- 4:4:4 YCbCr, RGB, or XYZ inputs
- 4:2:2 YCbCr 12-bit inputs
Video Format Conversion
Standard FS1-X Conversions
The standard FS1-X can convert almost any input format to nearly any output format, as long as the frame rates are of the same frame rate family. The three families are:
- 23.98, 29.97, 59.94
- 25, 50
- 24
See "Conversion Exceptions" below.
FRC FS1-X Enabled Conversion
When the factory installed Frame Rate Converter (FRC) option is present and active, conversions between different frame rate families are supported. An appropriate genlock reference format will be required.

Video Format Alarms
When incompatible I/O formats are detected, an alarm can be triggered with these results:
- Lights the relevant alarm LED on the front panel (FMT ERROR, 1 or 2).
- Displays an alarm in the browser user interface.
- Influences selection of the first-displayed status screen.
- Generates an SNMP trap (if configured).
- Triggers a GPI Output (if configured).
