FOR-A Brings 4K To NAB

News Image
FOR-A will be bringing 4K to Vegas this year with the latest version of its 4K high-speed camera, multi-viewing and signal processing technology and a variety of video switchers, including the new HVS-2000.

The HVS-2000 video switcher is being shown for the first time in the U.S. The HVS-2000 is an SD, HD, 3G and 4K video switcher that allows up to 48 inputs/18 outputs or 40 inputs/22 outputs. It features the introduction of MELite, which allows a traditional AUX bus to transform into a functional M/E with cut, mix, wipe and key control; ONStage, a newly developed technology designed specifically for staging events where multiple image magnification displays are used; and FLEXaKEY, which allows operators to tailor production by adding and moving key and DVE layers to traditional M/E resources or to MELite resources.

Other video switchers will include the HVS-390HS unit, which features 16 HD/SD-SDI inputs and eight outputs (expandable to 24 inputs and 13 outputs), with frame synchronisers for all inputs. FOR-A will also show the HVS-110 HD/SD portable video switcher.

FOR-A will introduce the newest version of its 4K variable frame rate camera, the FT-ONE-S. The new 4K camera allows operators to separate the camera head from the body and is capable of shooting up to 360 fps.

FOR-A will also show a number of its 4K compatible multi-viewers, including the MV-1620HSA, MV-42HSA and MV-4200 units. The MV-1620HSA is a 1RU unit that accepts up to 16 channels of signals for monitoring on up to two screens, and can be cascaded with other units to display up to 64 sources simultaneously. FOR-A’s MV-4200 is a 2 RU unit multi viewer that supports 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, analog composite, HDMI, DVI and RGBHV sources. The unit accepts 4K signals and is capable of handling up to 68 inputs and 8 channels of output, while the MV-42HSA is a down-converter ideal for monitoring 4K footage. First introduced last year, all of the units are now deliverable.

Another highlight will be the FA-505 multi-channel signal processor. The five-input, five-output signal processor features up/down/cross/aspect ratio conversion capability on each input. Ideal for 4K applications, features of the unit include a synchroniser that includes frame/line/AVDL modes, video delay line of up to eight frames, full RGB colour correction, and 16 channels of embedded audio per channel.
