FOR-A FA-395
Description
The FOR-A FA-395 is a 10-bit digital time base corrector and frame synchronizer introduced in 2001 as part of the FA-350 series. The FA-395 builds on the FA-390 with expanded audio capabilities, providing enhanced audio processing and routing options.
The FA-395 was part of FOR-A's entry into the 21st century digital era, introduced as FOR-A celebrated its 30th anniversary. New digital technologies were introduced with younger engineers leading development. Even a decade after launch, these models remained leading products in the broadcast industry.
The FA-395 features 10-bit internal processing with 4:2:2 component signal passage. Full frame memory prevents picture field inversion during processing. The expanded audio section addressed the needs of facilities requiring more comprehensive audio handling alongside video processing.
The FA-395 was later succeeded by the FA-395A.
