FS-2E Provides Greater Embedded Audio SDI Functionality

The FS-2E provides even more embedded audio SDI functionality. It includes the ability to selectively record either channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 of the embedded audio of the input SDI stream. It also provides full support of the SDI audio out. The FS-2E inserts the recorded audio into the SDI output stream. The FS-2 does not possess these capabilities.
