At the dawn of the 21st century, FOR-A celebrated its 30th anniversary. For notable turn-of-the-century FA products, new digital technologies were introduced, with younger engineers leading development.

			The FA-350 accepts analog composite video input and outputs processed composite video, making it suitable for a variety of closed circuit and broadcast applications.

	The FA-350 features 10-bit internal processing with 4:2:2 component signal passage, providing high-quality signal processing. Full frame memory prevents picture field inversion during processing. Y and C recursive filtering helps eliminate signal noise from the luminance and chrominance channels.

	The FA-350 was the foundation of a new series of digital-era FOR-A signal processors~~. Related models in the series include the FA-360 (analog component I/O), FA-370 (SD-SDI), FA-390 (SD-SDI with audio I/O), and FA-395/FA-395A (expanded audio)~~. Even a decade after their introduction, these models remained leading products in the broadcast industry.		The FA-350 was the foundation of a new series of digital-era FOR-A signal processors.
