About us

The Algogear™ FRS-1002-MD is a dual channel, SD/HD Frame Synchronizer designed to solve audio and video timing issues as well as clean up metadata problems in a digital facility. This high density frame synchronizer includes a Proc Amp, legalizer, and metadata filter.

The Algogear Frame Synchronizer is designed for re-timing applications in both standard and high-definition SDI environments on up to two channels per card. It supports all popular standard-definition and high-definition video formats including 480i59.94, 576i50, 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94 and 1080i60. When necessary, frames are repeated or dropped to maintain synchronization. Additional delay can be added to the synchronizing process in pixel, line or frame increments. Up to 11 additional frames of delay can be added in HD.

Users can also adjust embedded audio (16 channels, 4 groups) with audio parameter controls including mixing, gain, mute and delay adjustment (up to 10 seconds). Video and audio delay can be controlled independently. Every audio channel goes through an audio sample rate converter to ensure a glitch free signal, even when a video frame is dropped or repeated.

Key Features

  • Dual channel SD/HD frame synchronizer
  • Performs frame repeat or drop to align video to input reference
  • Proc Amp offers adjustable brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue (SD only) video parameters
  • Programmable video legalizer ensures video signals conform to industry-defined "legal" limited ranges
  • Support synchronous 16 channels (group 1 to 4) of 48 KHz audio (PCM 20-bits and 24-bits)
  • Audio sample rate converter removes audio “pops” and “clicks”
  • Adjustable audio delay independent of video
  • Channel re-assignment and audio mixing capabilities (level, mapping)
  • Ancillary data packet cleaner (metadata filter) removes interfering audio groups and other ancillary data packets from the incoming signal
  • Built-in audio tone generator and video test patterns
  • Controlled by easy-to-use DashBoard software
  • SNMP Support
  • Field upgradable and future-proof with the ground-breaking ability to reprogram the card with any of the available Algogear solutions at any time, at no additional cost
