Description
The FOR-A FA-140 is a low-cost 1RU time base corrector introduced in January 1997, notable for offering composite, Y/C (S-Video), and component video inputs with D1 (SD-SDI) digital output. This made it an ideal bridge device for facilities transitioning from analog to digital infrastructure.
The FA-140 allowed users to connect a variety of analog source equipment while outputting a clean, synchronized SD-SDI signal for integration with digital production systems.
