HD/SD Frame Synchronizer
FA-9000 |
 |
 |
We are proud to introduce a new signal processor that supports all formats: HD, SD, analog, digital, plus audio. The FA-9000 uses 12-bit internal processing for high quality images. The FA-9000 goes beyond the realm of a typical signal processor featuring numerous options like an up-converter, down-converter, color corrector, median-based noise reduction, logo generator and Dolby E decoder.
THE Processor is the next generation multi purpose signal processor.
 Input/Output of All HD, SD, Digital, and Analog Formats
The FA-9000 supports all video signal formats, digital HD/SD-SDI or analog component HD/SD or NTSC/PAL analog composite or Y/C.
Digital/Analog Audio Support
The FA-9000 provides digital or analog input/output for audio signals in the same way as it handles video signals. 8-channel support is provided for embedded audio and AES/EBU, and 4-channel support is provided for analog audio. Multi-channel audio signal processing is possible without phase differences between channels. Individual level adjustments can be made for each audio channel, and audio delay adjustment is provided for synchronizing to the video signal.
High-quality A/D Converter and D/A Converter
In the FA-9000, the input signal is converted to all video output signals that are possible. Signal conversion of all output signals by A/D or D/A is constantly performed, allowing an on-air system to have all output signals available.
12-bit Internal Processing for High Image Quality
The FA-9000 uses 12-bit internal processing for dramatically better format conversion and A/D and D/A image quality. FOR-A use the best elements in image processing technology which enables us to provide image quality that stands out from the competition.
Powerful Frame Synchronizer Performance
FOR-A's frame synchronizers have always exhibited superior performance when processing video with poor quality signals. The FA-9000 incorporates all of this technical expertise into a single unit, developed with the highest priority on reliable frame synchronization.
Standard Support for SNMP Monitoring
The FA-9000 model has a built-in Ethernet port that provides support for network monitoring using SNMP protocol. This feature allows remote checking of device status, signal errors and other available information.
Wide Range of Remote Interfaces
Like all FOR-A FA-series models, a remote interface using a BNC connection is standard. Additionally, remote control using GPI is also supported.
Allows Installation of Up/Down-conversion
Up-converter and down-converter are optionally availble for enabling conversion of HD signals to SD and SD signals to HD. With the FA-9000, there's no need to have an external up/down converter.
*No frame rate conversion function is provided.
Process Control
The standard model allows adjusting video level, chroma level, chroma phase, and setup level. Remote control of these parameters is also possible.
Main process cotrol fuctions
- Adjustment functions in Video level, Chroma level, Setup level and Chroma phase
Color Correction
In addition to the standard process control function, a color correction option is also available. Three available color correction modes (balanced, differential and sepia) with gamma correction and various clip functions are provided to enable easy reproduction of the video's original color space and range.
Main color correction functions
- Three color correction functions (balance, differential and sepia)
- Gamma adjustment functions in HIGH, MID and LOW tones
- White level and Black level adjustment functions
- Clip functions (Y-white, C-white, Y-black clip)
<Will be available as option>
Allows Installation of Dolby E Decoder
A Dolby E decoder can be installed as an additional audio function. This enables accurate monitoring and signal correction for surround signals in multi-channel environments.
Logo Generator
An optional logo generator can be installed for insertion of company or program logos or indication credits for creative content. The FA-9000 can serve as a useful tool for program branding.
Allows Installation of HDV/DV Interface
An optional IEEE-1394 terminal can be installed to support DV and HDV interface, with conversion between these signals and all available video outputs.
Noise Reduction
The standard model comes complete with a recursive noise reduction filter. An optional higher quality noise reduction function using a median filter can also be added. (available soon as on option). This removes only the noise while minimizing the effect on the video signal. This technique demonstrates FOR-A engineering's superior image processing technology.
