Among the highlights are the HVS-190 and HVS-490 production switchers, demonstrating the flexibility available in modern systems.
FOR-A has presented solutions based on SDI, including 12G for ultra HD, alongside compressed and uncompressed live video standards at CABSAT. Important showcases will include the HVS-190 and HVS-490 production switchers, demonstrating the flexibility available in modern systems. Both offer the capability to integrate NDI connectivity alongside SDI. The HVS-190, a compact 1 M/E switcher, provides simplicity in a compact form factor, while the HVS-490 uses FOR-A’s exclusive MELite technology to extend its 2 M/E banks to 6 M/E performance with up to 12 keyers. These switchers also feature a web server for configuration and control from any distance, for remote production set-ups.
Highlighting the ease of building integrated systems, the production switchers will be paired with the MFR3100EX live routing switcher, which includes director control of a PTZ camera and a multiviewer. The FA1616 offers powerful video processing, supporting up to 16 channels at resolutions up to 4K with colour correction and audio remapping.
FOR-A has demonstrated the simplicity of slowmotion replay with the Envivo server, featuring an intuitive touchscreen interface for fast and secure operation under pressure. Additionally, the compact MV-3240 multi-viewer will be on display, accepting up to 32 inputs including 12G Ultra HD, and delivering multiple SDI outputs as well as 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs, all in a single 1RU cabinet.
Addressing the demands of sports and live broadcasting graphics, FOR-A showcased its partnership with ClassX, highlighting the smooth rendering and fast operation of ClassX graphics generation and server systems running on standard computers.
Mohammed Abu Ziyadeh, Regional Manager of MEA at FOR-A, said: “We enjoy a very close relationship with the MEA market, and we understand what is really needed by broadcasters and production companies in the region. That is why we are focusing on live production technology at CABSAT, showing how easy it is to work across SDI, uncompressed IP video streams and NDI, to build precisely the functionality needed.”
Ziyadeh added: “Partnerships with other key developers are very important to us, and we will show our latest collaborations. Our objective is always to get the right result for our customers – technically, operationally and economically. Come and talk to us at CABSAT and see how we can help.”
