FOR-A score five major colour correction sales

FOR-A has announced five major sales and shipments of its DCC-70HS multi-format, multi-standard (HD/SD) colour correction system and DCC-700 serial digital colour correction system to major East Coast-area broadcasters.
ESPN, based in Bristol, Connecticut, recently received 12 DCC-70HS colour correctors and 12 DCC-OU remote control units for the DCC-70HS. ABC Network in New York just installed five DCC-70HS colour correction systems and two DCC-OU remote control units. NBC Network in New York selected four DCC-70HS, which were delivered shortly after the purchase. Disney’s Times Square Studios recently purchased 12 DCC-70HS colour correction systems for its new HD studio. Additionally, MSNBC, based in Secaucus, New Jersey, recently received two DCC-700 serial digital colour correctors from FOR-A.
“We’re thrilled that such well known and technically progressive broadcasters such as ABC, Disney’s Time Square Studios, ESPN, MSNBC, and NBC have put their trust in FOR-A for their colour correction needs,” said Max Tsuchiyama, General Manager, FOR-A UK. “I’m confident that the versatility and reliability of our equipment will serve them all well in the future and that they’ll benefit from our advanced customer service.
“The DCC-70HS is the latest version within our colour corrector family. It’s perfect for facilities that use both HD and SD signals. And it’s ‘future-ready’ for facilities that use SD signals now and are planning to upgrade to HD shortly. The DCC-700 is a digital I/O system, providing balanced, differential, or sepia colour enhancement of all types of video signals. It’s found considerable success within broadcast television and mobile truck applications.”
FOR-A colour correction systems are in wide use throughout the country. Previously, ESPN bought 40 DCC-70HS units to install throughout its new HD production centre. Recent broadcast customers of the DCC-700 include CNBC (18 units in three large production control rooms), Turner Entertainment (four units aboard a new HD production truck), and E! Entertainment (five DCC-700’s in its control room).
The cost-effective and compact DCC-70HS supports both SD and HD signals and is ideally suited for facilities where producing and distributing multi-format projects is critical to their business. This includes HD SDI: 1080/59.94i and 1080/50i; 720p/59.94 and 720p/60 and SD SDI: 525/60, 625/50.
