Precautions

Caution

Operate unit only at the specified supply voltage.

Disconnect the power cord via the power plug only. Do not pull on the cable portion.

Stop

Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.

Caution

Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the AC outlet.

Caution

Ensure the unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock.

Hazard

Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous nature.

Hazard

Do not operate the unit under hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheric conditions. Doing so could result in fire, explosion, or other hazardous results.

Hazard

Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing so could result in fire, other hazards, or a unit malfunction.

If a foreign material does enter the unit, turn the power off and immediately disconnect the power cord. Remove the material and contact an authorized service representative if damage has occurred.

Hazard

Handle with care to avoid impact shock during transit, which may cause malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original or suitable alternative packing material.

[Transportation]

Page 4

[Circuitry Access]

Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access the circuitry with power applied to the unit. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Stop

Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor. Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are especially hazardous.

Hazard

Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed. Operating the unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or a unit malfunction.

Caution

If abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from the unit, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service representative before attempting to operate the unit again.

Caution

To rack-mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or materials other than those supplied. Doing so may cause damage to the internal circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet that are attached to the unit, do not reinsert the screws that secure the rubber feet.

Caution

Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used, such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing consumable items, contact your dealer.

Installing the AC Cord Retention Clip

Secure the AC cord with the supplied ladder strap/retention clip assembly to prevent accidental removal from the unit.

 Installing the clip

1) Wrap the retention clip around the AC cord (with the anchor of the ladder strap toward the

unit).

2) Insert the anchor into the hole next to the AC IN socket.

3) Lightly fasten the clip around the AC cord.

4) Plug in the power cord.

5) Slide the clip on the ladder strap toward the plug.

6) Fasten the clip tightly.

7) Gently pull on the AC cord to ensure it is secured.

 Unplugging the AC cord

1) Push the tab on the retention clip up to unfasten the clip.

2) Push the tab on the ladder strap up and slide the clip back.

3) Unplug the AC cord.

Installing the HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket

Secure the HDMI cable to the panel with the supplied cable lacing bracket.

1) Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI connector on the rear panel.

2) Loosen (but do not remove) the screw above the connector.

3) Place the bracket on the screw, above the connector.

Tighten the screw (but not too tight) to secure the bracket.

4) Use the supplied tie wrap to secure the bracket to the connector.

5) Tighten the tie wrap and cut off any excess.

1-1. Overview

The FA-9600 multi-purpose signal processor provides dual channel SD/HD frame synchronizer, with optionally supporting 4K UHD signals through Quad-Link 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0

(*1)

interfaces.

(*1,*2)

, Single-Link 12G-SDI

(*1)

More than a basic frame synchronizer, the FA-9600 is equipped with various converting capabilities including up-/down-conversions

(*3)

. A newly developed color processing circuit supports the latest gamut and dynamic range specifications, and allows to interchange various video signals. Offering a wide range of audio processing, core features of remapping and gain adjustment. The FA-9600 can be expanded by adding optional cards 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.

 Arrow buttons

Moving between menu pages

Use up/down double-arrow buttons to move between menu pages.

Moving between menu items

Use up/down single-arrow buttons to move between menu items in menu pages. The buttons are lit if available and unlit if unavailable.

 Setting Parameters

Pressing a menu button displays the corresponding menu as shown below on the menu display and function button (F1-F4) outlines will light if the buttons are available for menu setting. Lighting orange indicates that the selected parameter is set to default.

To change parameter values, press the corresponding function buttons. (A buzzer sound will be heard if the setting value exceeds the allowable parameter range.) To set a parameter to its default value, press the corresponding UNITY button below F1-F4. (In such cases, repressing the UNITY button reverts it to the previous state.)
