FOR-A to Highlight 3Gbps-Capable HVS-5000 Switcher Series at IBC 2009

Diverse lineup includes three model choices offering 2 M/E to 4 M/E

August 5, 2009

LONDON, UK, August 5, 2009 - FOR-A, a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will demonstrate its HVS-5000 switcher series during IBC2009, which runs Sept. 11-15 at the RAI Centre in Amsterdam (Hall 2, Stand A51/B59). The HVS-5000 series supports the 3Gbps signal standard, enabling broadcasters to easily and affordably migrate to the emerging 1080p high-definition format. In addition to HD and SD signals, this switcher series supports: 1080/59.94p, and 1080/50p.

This powerful line of switchers expands on FOR-A's flagship HANABI series of switchers and offers three new model choices: the HVS-5300A with 2 M/E, the HVS-5300 with 3 M/E, and the HVS-5400 with 4 M/E. All switchers in the series are designed for both live and post production. And all models come standard with a touch panel controller. Users can operate all switcher functions through this feature, including editing the still store and sequence timeline and making color correction settings.

The HVS-5000 series offers switching between HD and SD and between varieties of HD formats. An optional up-/down-/cross-converter card also supports mixed input from HD and SD signals. Supported HD formats include: 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/30PsF, 1080/29.97PsF, 1080/25PsF, 1080/24PsF, 1080/23.98PsF, 720/59.94p and 720/50p. The HVS-5000 series also supports SD formats such as 525/60 and 625/50.

The switchers can be tailored to meet a variety of applications and can scale to fit an array of existing configurations. The HVS-5400 switcher for example accepts a maximum of 96 inputs and can supply up to a total 48 outputs. The HVS-5300 accepts a maximum of 96 inputs and 44 outputs. The HVS-5300A can accept up to 96 inputs and 40 outputs.

The HVS-5000 switcher includes a vast array of functions. Users can operate the four M/E's on the HVS-5400 separately through the independent control feature, in essence, transforming one switcher into four. Each switcher comes standard with four-channel keyers for each M/E. In addition, two common DSK are freely assignable any function, which can be upgraded to four channels.

A 2D DVE and chroma key for each keyer come as standard features. An advanced chroma keyer can be added as an option . In addition to the standard keyer DVE, a 3D DVE can be added. The HVS-5000 Series can have up to four channels added.

Setting up effects such as picture-in-picture is simplified through an addition of a DVE effect to each M/E bus. This ability to customize features also allows transition of images with either a wipe effect or a mix effect. The HVS-5000 series can be equipped with an optional color corrector. That allows process control, color adjustment and clipping of color information.

The new switcher series from FOR-A is now shipping.
