12G/6G/3G/HD/SD Dual-Channel Multi-Purpose Signal Processor
FA-9600
Provides HDR and Wide Color Gamut support. Offers exceptional conversion format delivery, including 12G, 4K(UHD), 1080p and HD/SD. Each of the FA-9600 processor’s two HD/SD inputs includes a frame synchronizer. Because the signal processor features 12G-SDI terminals, optional software opens the door to 4K(UHD) production. Adding an optional expansion card provides four more channels of 3G-SDI input/output or six channels of 12G-SDI distributed output.*1 The FA-9600 is much more than a basic frame synchronizer. It simplifies all types of video conversion. A newly developed color processing circuit supports the latest gamut and dynamic range specifications, and an optional converter circuit is available for up/down/cross conversion. Offering a wide range of audio processing, core features of remapping and gain adjustment, the FA-9600 can be expanded with optional cards*1 that make it an ideal standalone solution at transmission centers, in mobile production trucks, production studios, news stations, and other nonlinear editing and playout production environments. *1 For details, see the expansion cards in “Options.”

Advantages in mixed HDR/SDR environments New color processing circuit provides strong support in HD/4K(UHD) production. This is useful not only when converting to unified specifications before input to a switcher or editing system, but also at output - before HDR and SDR simulcasts.
❚
Supports and converts between the broad ITU-R BT.2020 gamut for 4K/8K and the conventional ITU-R BT.709 gamut in HD. ITU-R BT. 2020 Ultra HD ITU-R BT. 709 HD

Compensates for differences among external devices using EOTF/OETF corresponding to various HDR or SDR curves.
❚
Using FA-96AHDR Advanced Function Software option, processor is compatible with ITU-R BT.2100-compliant dynamic range conversion.
EOTF/OETF log curves and gamut can be registered from a PC. Dynamic range conversion compatible with HLG, PQ, SDR, and other log curves. Also compatible with S-Log3, Canon Log2, and other camera log curves.
