FOR-A will also hold an NAB welcome reception, “FOR-A Connect,” on Saturday, April 5th at 3pm in Room S232 in the South Hall.
FOR-A is set to debut its latest innovation, the HANABI HVS-Q12 switcher, at the NAB Show 2025 in April, aligning with its theme, “Connecting the Present, Building the Future.” Designed for broadcast control rooms and live event production, the 3G-SDI switcher can be upgraded to 12G-SDI, offering versatility in a compact 4RU design.
The HVS-Q12 supports up to 60 inputs and 30 outputs in 3G mode and up to 42 inputs and 21 outputs in 12G, with expandable keyer options for enhanced production flexibility. It features an intuitive web GUI, IP interface compatibility with Dante and NDI, and seamless integration with existing HANABI Series models.
Satoshi Kanemura, President of FOR-A America, said: “The ‘Q’ in HVS-Q12 stands for quantum. The HVS-Q12 represents a quantum leap in design for the HANABI Series. With its feature set, ease of use, stability, cost- and space-efficient design, the HVS-Q12 is a true game changer for live event and broadcast TV producers.
“With the ease of its SDI to IP conversion, the HANABI Series connects today’s high-end workflows to the future, while our software-based SOAR-A and FOR-A IMPULSE production platforms connect producers to a powerful future.”
In addition to event memory, the HVS-Q12 includes functions from the HANABI Series such as sequences, macros, GPI for external control, user flags and user button functions.
FOR-A’s intuitive solutions offer a seamless migration path for all flavors of IP and feature full support for SMPTE ST 2110 standards.
