21 FS2 Installation and Operation Manual — GPI Inputs and Outputs
GPI Inputs and Outputs
General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are available on the FS2 back panel to
provide contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure
activates a specified function on the FS2. Using the outputs, specific FS2 functions
can produce a contact closure to activate any desired function on external
equipment. The functions to be activated by an input or that can activate an
output are set using the front panel and browser menus. Details of GPI operation
are covered in two places:
• Appendix B: GPI Connector Pinout describes physical connections to the GPI
outputs.
• Chapter 4: Display Menus and Chapter 5: Browser Control describe
configuring functions to associate them with GPI inputs and outputs.
Optional Remote Control Panel
The FS2 can be controlled remotely via Ethernet using an optional remote control.
For information about which remote panels are compatible with the FS2, consult
AJA Support. See
“Contacting Support” on page 2 of this guide.
Optional Fiber I/O
The FS2 supports optional AJA Optical Fiber I/O modules as follows:
• Single Input, LC connector
• Single Input SC connector
• Single Output LC connector
• Single Output SC connector
• Dual Input LC connectors
• Dual Output LC connectors
FS2's Fiber I/O supports the 3G/HD/SD SDI protocol. Only AJA modules are
supported; use of other manufacturers' modules is not supported and may void
the warranty.
Optional Dolby E Decoder and Encoder Cards
The current FS2 software supports a Dolby E Decoder option in the right-hand
option slot under the option top cover.
As a future option, the FS2 will accept up an optional Dolby E Encoder Card as well
as the currently available Decoder card. You will be able to install a single encoder
card and a single decoder card.
