New HVS-Q12 Represents a Quantum Leap in Switcher Design

In keeping with the company's theme Connecting the present, building the future, FOR-A will introduce its top of the line HANABI Series switcher - the two M/E HVS-Q12 - at the NAB Show in April. Designed for broadcast control rooms and live event production, the HANABI HVS-Q12 is a powerful 3G-SDI switcher that is software upgradable to 12G-SDI.

At just 4RU, it's a small package with huge versatility. The HVS-Q12 provides up to 60 inputs and 30 outputs in 3G mode and up to 42 inputs and 21 outputs in 12G. Four keyers come standard for HD/3G, and it's expandable up to eight (HD/3G) and up to four keyers for 12G transmission.

An enhanced, intuitive web GUI, initially developed for the HANABI HVS-190S/190I and HVS-490, supports an enhanced creative workflow. Adding to the switcher's flexibility is an IP interface for both Dante and NDI support a feature also found on HANABI HVS-190S/190I and HVS-490 Series switchers.

The Q' in HVS-Q12 stands for quantum, explains Satoshi Kanemura, President, FOR-A America. 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 popular 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.

FOR-A will exhibit in NAB booth (#N707) next month in Las Vegas.

Save the Date: 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.
