FOR-A FA-128
Description
The FOR-A FA-128 is the world's first 14-bit internal processing frame synchronizer and time base corrector, introduced in 2005. It accepts analog composite video input and provides four simultaneous composite outputs, making it suitable for distribution applications as well as signal processing.
The FA-128 features superior correction range and image quality thanks to its 14-bit quantization—the highest bit depth available in its class at the time of release. Internal signal processing uses 4:2:2 component format with sampling frequencies of 13.5 MHz for luminance and 6.75 MHz for chrominance.
A digital 3-line adaptive comb filter accurately separates luminance and chrominance from composite signals while maintaining full bandwidth. Full frame memory with 2-field correction range prevents picture field inversion during processing.
The unit automatically detects NTSC or PAL input signals. Front panel proc amp controls allow adjustment of video level (±3 dB), chroma level (±3 dB), setup level (±15 IRE), and chroma phase (±30°). Genlock phase control provides H phase (±2 µs), SC phase (±180°), H position (±2 µs), and V position (-128 to +127 lines) adjustment.
