AJA Video Systems has announced the FS8, a 1RU processor supporting eight HD or four UltraHD channels with ST 2110 and SDI connectivity. Additionally, the company introduced the OG-FiDO-4 family of openGear-compatible cards designed for uncompressed SDI transport over fiber in hybrid broadcast workflows.
The introduction of the FS8 marks a significant shift for AJA as its first frame sync to natively support ST 2110, addressing the industry's move toward IP-based routing. By maintaining 12G-SDI ports alongside IP gateway functionality, the device serves as a critical bridge for facilities that cannot yet fully decommission legacy hardware. This launch reflects a broader ecosystem trend where hardware vendors are prioritizing high-density, multi-format tools to manage the increasing complexity of multicamera setups. Watch for adoption rates among mobile production units and proAV integrators to see if this 'Swiss-army knife' approach becomes the standard for mid-tier hybrid deployments.
The FS8 joins a growing list of ST 2110 studio workflow solutions appearing at IBC 2026, highlighting the industry's rapid transition toward IP-native infrastructure.
AJA has launched the FS8 processor, a 1RU system designed to bridge SDI and ST 2110 IP workflows. Supporting eight HD or four UltraHD channels, it provides a critical solution for facilities transitioning to IP-based routing while maintaining legacy 12G-SDI hardware, simplifying complex multicamera production environments for broadcasters.
The FS8 processor acts as a bridge between SDI and ST 2110 IP workflows, allowing facilities to integrate IP-based routing while still utilizing legacy 12G-SDI hardware.
The FS8 processor supports eight channels of HD or four channels of UltraHD.
Yes, the FS8 includes support for both Dante and MADI audio.
The OG-FiDO-4 family consists of nine openGear-compatible card models designed for uncompressed SDI transport over LC fiber.
