1-1. Overview
The FA-9600 multi-purpose signal processor provides dual channel SD/HD frame synchronizer,
with optionally supporting UHD 4K signals through Quad-Link 3G-SDI
(*1,*2)
, Single-Link 12G-SDI
(*1)
and HDMI 2.0
(*1)
interfaces.
More than a basic frame synchronizer, the FA-9600 is equipped with various converting capabilities
including up-/down-conversions
(*3)
. A newly developed color processing circuit supports the latest
gamut and dynamic range specifications, and allows to interchange various video signals. Offering
a wide range of audio processing, core features of remapping and gain adjustment.
The FA-9600 can be expanded by adding optional cards 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.
