FS-HDR, a 1RU, rack-mount, universal converter/frame synchronizer, is designed specifically to meet the HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WCG (Wide Colour Gamut) needs of broadcast, OTT, post and live event AV environments, where real time, low-latency processing and colour fidelity is required for 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD workflows. Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the FS-HDR’s HDR/WCG functionality is powered by Colorfront Engine™ proprietary video processing algorithms. FS-HDR also serves as a full, 1-channel up, down, cross-converter for 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD conversion and frame sync needs and in 4-Channel mode, offers 4 independent channels of 2K/HD conversion.
Real Time HDR Converter
The pursuit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the dream of getting closer to the Human Visual System (HVS) in all that we experience as viewers. FS-HDR has been designed to get us all there faster with a low profile, stand alone and real time device uniquely designed to bridge SDR to HDR, HDR to SDR and HDR to HDR, all in real time.

Colorfront Engine™
FS-HDR’s HDR/WCG capabilities leverage video and colour space processing algorithms within Colorfront Engine™.
Powered by Colorfront Engine, FS-HDR’s extensive HDR and WCG processing support enables real time processing of 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD, including HDR conversions, and 4K/UltraHD HDR down conversion to HD HDR. FS-HDR also enables the conversion of popular camera formats from multiple vendors into the HDR space, plus conversion to-and-from BT.2020/BT.709 as needed, critical for the widespread acceptance of HDR alongside SDR in broadcast and OTT workflows.
Realtime Camera LOG Conversions
FS-HDR can take incoming imagery from some of the most popular professional cameras in the world today and convert their LOG output in real-time to 4K/UltraHD or 2K/HD and output as either HDR or SDR. This greatly simplifies workflows in a mixed camera environment and provides for a unified input workflow to HDR or SDR capable switchers and more.
HDR Workflows for UltraHD/HD with FS-HDR
FS-HDR opens a range of exciting possibilities for the integration of HDR within a range of workflows
Remote Configuration and Control
FS-HDR is network ready and supports SNMP monitoring and web-based remote control. Units can be connected to any Ethernet network via the built-in 10/100/1000MB Ethernet port, allowing control and configuration of multiple FS units from any web browser on a connected computer. Configurations can be saved and applied to multiple units, ensuring consistency and quick configuration in large installs.
FS-HDR features unique over the network control of HDR settings from within its elegant interface available from any browser, anywhere.
Incredible Digital Connectivity
Video and audio deserve the connectivity and bandwidth required to meet the demands of your projects. FS-HDR utilizes standard BNC as well as optional SFP inputs and outputs to integrate easily into a variety of workflows and facilities with support for SDI workflows all the way up to 12G.
FS-HDR has Coax and Fiber* inputs and outputs to accept 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD resolution SDI signals in Single Channel Mode. In Four Channel mode 2K/HD/SD inputs can be routed to multiple locations simultaneously without the need for any external signal distribution.
A looping Reference Input allows the FS-HDR to be locked to your house reference signal for rock solid stability.
Digital Audio can be dis-embedded and embedded between SDI, MADI and AES for an incredible array of routing possibilities.
