The Full 1.5ME FSN Series Multi-Format Production Switcher from Barco is a high-resolution production switcher that combines advanced video switching functionality with the power and flexibility of Barco image processing. It is packaged in a streamlined multi-format production package that offers a modular design, intuitive operation, and an economical price point.

This unit supports native HD or SD operation, cross-conversion, frame synchronization, and selectable native output formats. The solution uses Barco's Athena scalers. Its architecture enables you to install up to five dual-channel universal input cards and up to two dual-channel universal output cards. By seamlessly integrating analog, digital, and computer resolutions into your workflow, the FSN series provides both input and output editing.

Internal storage of 100 still frames is possible, including up to three frame buffers on line simultaneously, up to four channels of optional internal 2D DVEs, and integration with the Encore Presentation System.

A minimum of two lines of delay occurs with native genlocked inputs. Scaling and conversion (using the Universal Input Card, Universal Output Card and DVE Card) adds additional delay.

FSN Series Chassis

The unit has 14 card slots, 12 of which are user-configurable
It offers hot-swappable, active front cards and passive rear connector cards
Mid-plane construction enables users to interchange front cards without moving rear cable connections
Dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies are optionally available
It features a removable front door with Power and Video Reference indicators
The unit occupies 6U of rack space

Standard Cards

One Native Input Card (NIC) provides eight native HD-SDI or SD-SDI inputs, plus frame synchronization and auto-timing (+/- 0.5 lines)
One dual-channel Universal Input Card (UIC) provides the power of two Barco Athena scalers and offers frame synchronization, auto-timing, and seamless integration of analog, digital (DVI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI), and computer resolutions up to UXGA or 1920 x 1080
One Mix Effects Card (M/E) provides PGM, PVW, and CLEAN outputs for each M/E, as well as native Aux outputs 1 through 6, plus dedicated DSK cut/fill inputs
One System Card (SYS) provides video reference connections, Ethernet and dual serial communications ports, and a tally connector
If features 24 tallies and a GPIO connector (four input and eight output ports)

Optional Cards

Install one additional Native Input Card (NIC), for a maximum of 16 native inputs on line
Install up to four additional dual-channel Universal Input Cards (UIC), each providing the power of two Barco Athena scalers
Install up to two dual-channel Universal Output Cards (UOC) as Aux Bus outputs, each of which provides the power of two Barco Athena scalers with selectable output resolutions up to UXGA or 1920 x 1080
Install one eight-channel Native Aux Output Card (NAC) in place of a UOC, enabling you to switch 16 Aux outputs in a fully loaded system (14 native plus two scaled Aux outputs)
Install up to two dual-channel 2D Digital Video Effects Cards (DVE), enabling you to create up to four high-resolution PIPs (picture-in-picture effects) using Athena Scalers
