Signal Indicators in the DashBoard Control System
When the signal is either not present or is not locked, the DashBoard Control
System shows both a yellow Card State alarm and a yellow Signal State alarm
under the Status tab. Additionally, the SDI Signal Type is shown as "No Signal."
OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.0 7 www.aja.com
When the Add 3:2 Pulldown control has been turned on (indicated by a check
mark), and the output frame rates are not the same as the input rates of 23.98 and
24.00, the DashBoard Control System displays a yellow Card State and a yellow
Signal State with a "Pulldown Active" alarm warning.
When a signal is present and locked, the DashBoard Control System shows a
green Card State and a green Signal State under the Status tab. The SDI Signal
Type is also indicated (for example, "3G-SDI").
NOTE: Alarms always show the highest priority alarm first. When that alarm condition is
resolved, the next alarm/warning condition will display, etc.
OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.0 8 www.aja.com
Frame Sync Mode Example
The following section provides an example of how to set up the OG-FS-Mini to
ensure the frame sync function is working correctly.
Setup
Ensure that the OG-X-FR or other openGear-compatible 2RU frame is powered up
and connected to an appropriate network cable to be able to communicate with
the DashBoard Control System. (See "Using the DashBoard Control System" on page
18 for details.)
Procedure
1. Install the OG-FS-Mini card and rear connector into the OG-X-FR openGear
frame (see "Installation" on page 12 for installation details).
2. Launch the DashBoard application.
3. In the left panel showing the basic tree view of frames and cards, double-
click the slot and card name listed corresponding to your OG-FS-Mini.
A window opens in DashBoard showing the OG-FS-Mini card and parameter
controls.
By default the OG-FS-Mini is congured to operate genlocked to an external
reference signal.
Under the Status tab in DashBoard, the Signal State indicates "Not Locked"
with a yellow alarm indicator, and the Reference Signal indicates "No Ref."
4. Connect the appropriate sync reference signal to the OG-FS-Mini Ref In
BNC. (See Figure 2. "I/O Connections for the OG-FS-Mini" on page 6 for the
location of the Ref In BNC.)
The Reference Signal in DashBoard indicates the signal type (for example,
1080i59.94).
However, because the OG-FS-Mini is still not receiving a compatible video
input, "No Video" will be reported for the Input Signal on DashBoard, and
the Signal State is "Not Locked" with a yellow alarm indicator.
5. Connect a 1080p59.94 SDI video source to the OG-FS-Mini SDI In BNC on the
BNC rear connector card.
DashBoard will report 1080p59.94 for the Input Signal, and the Signal State
reports "OK" with a green alarm indicator.
6. From the Video tab, set the Output Format to 1080p (high).
7. Conrm that DashBoard shows that the Output Signal is reporting the
correct signal (in this example, 1080p59.94).
This workflow confirms that the OG-FS-Mini powers up successfully and that the
SDI video output is synchronized with the Reference Input.
Conversion Mode Discussion and Examples
Upconvert Mode
The OG-FS-Mini allows you to select the type of Upconversion performed on an
SD source input. This mode is in effect only when the input is SD (525i or 625i) and
the selected output format is HD (720p, 1080i, or 1080p).

14x9 Pillar (default) – 4x3 image is scaled to create a 14x9 image with black
sidebars and slightly cropping top and bottom of original image.
Wide Zoom – A combination of scaling and stretching is used to t to a 16x9
frame. Slight cropping of top and bottom and a small aspect ratio change.
Downconvert Mode
This mode determines the type of Downconversion performed on the
selected HD source input. See the following Downconvert Illustrations for
Downconversion examples. This mode is in effect only when the input is HD
(720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).

Anamorphic – HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic).
14:9 – Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top
and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.
Auto AFD – Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the
input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code.
Active Format Description (AFD) codes are carried in the vertical ancillary
(VANC) portion of HD SDI video signals, specified in SMPTE 2016 as follows:
AFD information is intended to guide DTV receivers and/or intermediate
professional video equipment regarding the display of video of one aspect
ratio on a display of another aspect ratio.
In the OG-FS-Mini Downconverter, the AFD code on the video input can be
used to guide the Downconverter in choosing which mode to use to best
display the important content of the16:9 HD input video on the 4:3 SD output.
For example, if the input AFD code is 10 (Full Frame), it means that the input
video has important picture information throughout the full 16:9 frame, so the
Downconverter should use Letterbox mode to be sure none of the content
is cropped off. An AFD code of 9 (Pillarbox) says that the input video only has
OG-FS-Mini Frame Synchronizer v1.0 11 www.aja.com
content within the center 4:3 area of the picture (usually because it originally
came from an Upconverted SD signal) so the Downconverter Crop mode
would be the best choice. There are 16 possible HD AFD codes, of which 8 are
in common use. The OG-FS-Mini does not process or use SD AFD codes.
SD Aspect Ratio Convert
This mode selects the type of SD-to-SD Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) performed
on an incoming selected SD source. This mode is in effect only when the input
and output are both SD (525i or 625i). (In Europe 16:9 anamorphic video is also
known as “wide screen” video.)

User Controls
The OG-FS-Mini can be inserted right out of the box into an openGear frame
and immediately be used for many applications, since it is designed to recognize
inputs and perform standard actions automatically. However, you can also
manually configure the OG-FS-Mini using either of two methods:
Local conguration through DIP switches on the card, or
Remote conguration through the DashBoard Control System for an
openGear Frame.
DIP Switches
The OG-FS-Mini has two DIP switch modules mounted on the card. The left
General DIP switch module can be used for general card configuration, and to
enable remote configuration using DashBoard. The right Reference DIP switch is
used for configuring the card's reference (see Figure 3 on page 6).
The General DIP switch #1 is a “Local/Remote” switch. When in “Local” mode, the
remaining DIP switches support a subset of the user controls, and DashBoard
displays only the Card and Status tabs and cannot be used for configuration.
For more details, refer to "Using DIP Switches to Control the OG-FS-Mini" on page
16.
DashBoard Control System
The DashBoard Control System, created by Ross Video, provides a control
interface between Windows, macOS and Linux computers and the cards installed
in an openGear frame. DashBoard operates through TCP/IP communication
and requires an Ethernet connection between the controlling computer and an
openGear frame.
For details about acquiring and using the DashBoard Control System, refer to
"Using the DashBoard Control System" on page 18.
Installation

Chapter 2 – Operation
Default Operational Settings
The OG-FS-Mini converter ships from the factory with the following
configuration:
Local (DIP switch) control (DashBoard shows status only).
1080i59.94 output with NTSC related inputs, or 1080i50 output with PAL
related inputs.
If these settings apply to your requirements, you can simply connect the video
and audio input and output signal cables.
For other applications, you can configure the card using its DIP switch settings, or
by setting Remote (DIP switch) control and using the DashBoard Control System
and a PC or Mac networked to an openGear frame.
Using DIP Switches to Control the OG-FS-Mini
The OG-FS-Mini has two sets of DIP switches. The first set is used for general
configuration. The second set is used only for Reference selection. See Figure 3 on
page 6.
General Configuration DIP Switches
The General DIP Switch module is located on the left side of the card.

4 FMT0 0 1
5 FMT1 0 1
6 3:2 OFF ON
7 SIDEB UP FULL
8 LTRBX DN FULL
The default DIP switch positions are all in the left position. The default settings
result in an output of 1080i59.94 with NTSC related inputs and 1080i50 with PAL
related inputs.
For 1080p 23.98/1080PsF 23.98 inputs, the input can be converted to 720p 23.98,
1080p 23.98, 1080i 59.94, or 1080p 59.94. The latter two would use the 3:2 DIP
switch to add 3:2 pulldown.
The compliance label, found on the card next to the DIP switches, lists the DIP

Using the DashBoard Control System
The DashBoard Control System is available as a free download from the openGear
DashBoard Software Download webpage:
http://www.opengear.tv/dashboard-software/#support_box
Ross Video offers comprehensive documentation that covers the extensive
capabilities of the DashBoard Control System:
https://www.rossvideo.com/support/product-documentation/dashboard/
This AJA OG-FS-Mini manual addresses only those essential aspects of the
DashBoard Control System needed to control the OG-FS-Mini card.
Requirements
The DashBoard Control System requires the following components:
openGear frame with a Frame Controller card
Ethernet connection betweeen the controlling computer and the openGear
frame
NOTE: The openGear frame ships from AJA with the MFC-8322-S Frame Controller card
for controlling the new AJA DashBoard cards. The openGear frame also supports
the MFC-0G3-N Advanced Networking Frame Controller card, which can be used
to control compatible OG cards.
DashBoard automatically discovers openGear and DashBoard Connect devices,
such as openGear frames and cards that are present and accessible on your
network.
Control Interface Basic Components
The basic components of the DashBoard Control System user interface consist of
the basic tree view of frames and cards, the card information and status panel,
and the parameter controls panel. These elements are shown below in Figure 6.
The basic tree view of frames and cards shows the frames and cards that are
discoverable by DashBoard on your network.
The card information and status panel, shown in the middle panel, display the
basic status of the card currently selected in DashBoard.
The parameter controls panel shows the tabs and parameters that the selected
card has available for configuration and control.
