Company Leads the Way with New Software-Based Production Platform, 12G Switcher, Software-based Switcher, Enhanced LED Displays, Cloud & AI Technology
FOR-A America will unveil a series of innovations during the upcoming its NAB Show that emphasize its commitment to the company's theme: Connecting the present, building the future. From a new software-based live video production platform, a software-based video switcher, Dante support, and a new 12G video switcher, FOR-A America's intuitive solutions offer a seamless migration path for all flavors of IP and feature full support for SMPTE ST 2110 standards. FOR-A will exhibit in NAB booth (#N707) in April.
A software-defined architecture is the perfect solution for a cost-effective migration from SDI to media-over-IP, explained Satoshi Kanemura, President, FOR-A Americas. Adding new functionality through software means the customer can configure the system to their needs, without additional hardware investment. It also means that hybrid production, using a variety of signal formats, can be accomplished easily.
Leading the company introductions is FOR-A IMPULSE a new software-based production platform that consolidates functions provided by FOR-A products (and other vendors) into one host machine. FOR-A IMPULSE (Integrated Media Platform with UnLimited StructureE) features signal processing, multi-view, switching, graphics, audio mix, and media player as software function nodes. Operators connect nodes within the platform's graph editor to create production pipelines. Because it's a software-based solution, it's easy to reconfigure the pipelines depending on the specific application and also evolve to cloud base solution for Hybrid operation.

Cost reduction but with an increase in creativity is always a priority for customers. To address that concern, FOR-A will introduce an AI solution, AiDi+*, that streamlines the production workload while providing greater flexibility for creative work. This solution was developed by intensive learning and analysis of over half a century's worth of archival data.
We've been very busy developing solutions that provide the greatest creative flexibility for our customers, added Kanemura. In response to extensive customer feedback, FOR-A is focused on creating highly customizable SDI- to IP-based solutions with the power and features to produce dynamic content at a very accessible price point.
Save the Date: FOR-A will also hold an NAB technology sneak preview, FOR-A Connect, on Saturday, April 5th at 3pm in Room S232 in the South Hall. RSVP here:
