For.A FA-9600 Multi Purpose Signal Processor

Each of the FA-9600 processor’s two HD/SD inputs includes a frame synchronizer. Because the signal processor features 12G-SDI terminals, optional software opens the door to 4K(UHD) production. Adding an optional expansion card provides four more channels of 3G-SDI input/output or six channels of 12G-SDI distributed output.

The FA-9600 is much more than a basic frame synchronizer. It simplies all types of video conversion. A newly developed color processing circuit supports the latest gamut and dynamic range specications, and an optional converter circuit is available for up/down/cross conversion. Offering a wide range of audio processing, core features of remapping and gain adjustment, the FA-9600 can be expanded with optional cards*1 that make it an ideal standalone solution at transmission centers, in mobile production trucks, production studios, news stations, and other nonlinear editing and playout production environments.

Various Synchronization Mode

Line (Min) Mode

• Minimum delay (700clk) output possible. Useful when used as color corrector.

Flexible Timecode Management

Timecode multiplex

• Selects whether to embed timecode into each FS output.

Timecode generator

• Drop frame is available for 29.97/30Hz signals.

Offset adjustment

• Delay or advance the timecode.

Sources of timecode

• ATC(LTC) timecode in the SDI input
• ATC(VITC) timecode in the SDI input
• VITC(DVITC) timecode in the SD-SDI input
• LTC input with FA-96DIN4-CBL
• Generator’s timecode

Powerful Color Processing, Suitable for Color Management of Video Wall

Color correction in RGB mode and differential mode

• RGB mode: Sets White level, Black level and Gamma by separately adjusting R, G, and B components.
• Differential mode: Sets color in R-Y, G-Y and B-Y space without changing white balance.

Dedicated color control panel with 14 knobs (FA-10DCCRU)
