To Set Up an FSFC/MSFS

You can assign an FSFC or MSFS to a specific source so that the source always has conversion resources available to it.

Refer to Supported FSFC Video Formats for a list of compatible video format conversions.

Media​-Store channels can be used to frame synchronise video inputs. When the Media​-Store channel is used as a FS, it cannot be used as a media-store.

Note: When a Media​-Store channel is set as a FS, you can still load media into that channel, but selecting that channel as a source will display the video of the source being synced, not the Media​-Store media. It is recommended that you remove the Media​-Store channel from your bus map if you are using it as a FS.
Note: The Media​-Store Frame Syncs (MSFS) do no support format conversion. If you need format conversion, you must use a standard FSFC.
Note: If the switcher is operating in 1080p 59.94, you can only use a maximum of 7 frame synchronizers to sync 1080p 59.94 video inputs. This can be up to 3 FSFCs and 4 MSFSs or 6 FSFCs and 1 MSFS. Format conversion is not restricted.
  1. Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Reference.
  2. Click the FSFC X or MS Frame Sync X button for the FSFC/MSFS you want to assign to an input and click Input.
  3. Click the Input button for the source you want to assign the FSFC/MSFS to.
  4. Click the Framing button for the aspect ration conversion mode you want to use.

    The options that are available depend on the video format that the switcher is converting from and to.

    • Full — The video signal is scaled disproportionately to fill the display of the new aspect ratio. Aspect distortion occurs as the image is stretched/compressed to fit in the new aspect ratio.
    • Zoom — The central portion of the video signal is zoomed to fill the display of the new video format. No aspect distortion is introduced but the edges of the video signal may be cropped.
    • Letter Box — Black bars are added to the top and bottom of a 16:9 image to display correctly in a 4:3 video format.
    • Pillar Box — Black bars are added to the right and left of a 4:3 image to display correctly in a 16:9 video format.
  5. Click Update.
