FOR-A IBC0 press PREVIEW
06/08/2013
FOR-A provides high quality and innovative video and audio products to the broadcast, postproduction and professional video markets, including vision mixers, virtual studios, video/audio processors, frame-rate converters, file-based solutions, specialist cameras, including the FT-ONE full 4K high-speed camera, and more.
New vision mixers at IBC2013 add more functions and extend cost performance.
Introducing HVS-XT100 and HVS-XT110 The new HVS-XT HD/SD compact vision mixer series is designed for live events, news studios, OB vans and corporate production. The HVS-XT100 comprises a separate main unit and control panel while the HVS-XT110 is an integrated single-unit design. Both add many new functions to allow users to easily do more with a very cost-effective unit.
The mixers expand on the established HVS-300 vision mixer's functions, including mixed HD/SD input, frame synchronisation, multi-viewer, re-sizing engines, multiple 2.5D DVEs, transition effects and an extremely high quality chroma key. Standard features also include two freely assignable keyers and two DSK channels that can be applied to Aux outputs.
The HVS-XT includes a built-in Web server enabling adjustment of settings from a PC or a tablet device. The clip memory within the mixer's two still stores supports complex moves, such as CG wipe, and has extended capacity as standard. The mixer's event memory stores up to 100 events and users can customize their control panel via dedicated User buttons. Macros are also included to allow more flexible and creative operation.
The HVS-XT100 offers eight HD/SD-SDI inputs, four outputs and one HDMI output, expandable to 14 inputs and six outputs, or 12 inputs and eight outputs that can be freely assigned. The HVS-XT110 is compact and designed for use in small broadcasting vans and flypacks. This unit has 12 HD/SD-SDI inputs and six outputs, plus one HDMI that can be freely assigned.
MINI M/E update creates virtual 6 M/E switcher The new MINI M/E, offered as a standard feature of the HVS-390HS 2 M/E vision mixer, enables the mixer to deliver the power of a virtual 6 M/E mixer. The MINI M/E extension allows the deployment of any aux-bus transition with cuts, mixes or wipes, and to display a keyer complete with DVE functions.
The new tools can be used to create a richer audience experience for broadcast, house of worship, education and corporate video. Examples include supplying an automatic feed to simultaneously display second-language graphics, or, for house-of-worship productions, to deliver graphics or lyrics on side screens independently of the main screens. In studio productions audience monitors can have separate information such as applause!' instructions, or the cast can have a dedicated on-set monitor feed. All actions can be controlled from an aux bus remote panel, or the main work surface.
The MINI M/E can be independently controlled or operated from a master/slave configuration. It can also follow any bus on 1 or 2 M/Es, allowing easy one-man operation. MINI M/E can be expanded into a half M/E function, to configure the HVS-390HS as a 2.5 M/E mixer. The half M/E can be controlled remotely where a traditional P/P bus mixer is used with up to four DSKs.
Broadcast Box The BB-100 Broadcast Box represents a new FOR-A product range of video servers that provide recording and playout of multi-format video files. Available as play, record and play/record models, Broadcast Box aims to offer versatility and ease of use at a competitive price.
Broadcast Box can be used standalone to offer video recording and/or studio playout. It can also work directly with vision mixers and, when integrated with a digital FOR-A vision mixer, such as the popular HVS-390HS, can provide a flexible video/audio contribution feed.
Video formats include Apple QuickTime, Apple ProRes / ProRes422, AVI, AVID DNxHD (in AVID compatible MXF), DV, DV25, DVCAM, DVCPro (DV50), DVCProHD (DV100), HDV, IMX, XDCAMSD, XDCAMHD, XDCAMHD422, XDCAMEX, MPEG-2(I-frame and long GOP up to1080i 4:2:2), H.264(MP4), MXF with MPEG-2 Long GOP, MXFAS-03, Panasonic P2 (DV, DV50, DV100, AVC-Intra) and Windows Media.
FA-1010 offers extreme connectivity 10 sources to 10 outputs
The FA-1010 is the general-purpose multi-channel frame synchronizer. It is equipped with many functions that are required in video production. Notably it allows asynchronous signal path routing for up to ten channels of video, and up to 160 channels of embedded audio, with clean-cut synchronized outputs all within a 1RU box.
It supports 3G-SDI and HD/SD-SDI input/output as standard and includes all the usual frame-synchroniser features as well as RGB colour correction - as standard. Audio processing offers delay adjustment and re-mapping functions plus a sample-rate converter. Options include analogue component I/O, Dolby E encoder/decoder, loudness control and analogue or AES audio I/O. The analogue audio option even allows mic level input with 48V phantom power.
By combining these diverse options, a single unit can provide optimal processing for all scenarios including transmission, outside broadcast, news reports, production, editing and distribution. Never before has the synchronisation of multiple feeds been so cost effective.
FA-9520 The Dual-channel Processor The FA-9520 is a dual-channel multipurpose signal processor. It is equipped for a variety of applications in master control, mobile production, post production services, live production, and more.
The FA-9250 is a dual-channel version of the industry-leading FA-9500 processor and it supports 3G-SDI, HD/SD-SDI, and analogue composite I/O. In addition to frame synchronization, it provides up/down/cross/aspect conversion, two channels of full RGB colour correction, logo inserter functions and an automatic video optimiser (AVO)
