Original Press Release:
FOR-A's New HVS-300HS Mixer Launches at BVE
Broadcast Video Expo (BVE) stand H 50 at London's Earls Court 17-19 February 2009
January 23, 2009
LONDON, UK, January 23, 2009 - FOR-A's HVS-300HS highly compact 1ME vision mixer will be shown for the first time in the U.K. at the Broadcast Video Expo (BVE) convention in London. FOR-A will be in stand H 50 at the show, to be held from 17-19 February, 2009 in Earls Court 2. A newcomer to the HANABI range, this is the first production model of portable HD/SD mixer. Packaged in just 1RU, this mixer is ideal for flypacks, with advanced features to suit - including a huge range of inputs with simultaneous HD and SD operation. Offering performance and versatility, the HVS-300 also draws attention thanks to its low price point.
Despite its size, the HVS-300HS pulls no punches as on-board features cut the peripheral equipment requirements to a bare minimum. They include a 16-split multi-viewer and from four to 12 inputs, each with its own frame synchroniser and re-sizing engine to directly accept any mix of unsynchronised SD and HD feeds. With optional I/Os that include digital HD/SD-SDI and DVI-D, as well as analogue HD/SD RGB, component and PAL/NTSC composite, the HVS-300 simply plugs in to most places without external converters.
Operational features include 1ME and full preview, making this a true live broadcast mixer. Two channels of still store and picture-in-picture engines, various 2D and 3D DVE transitions, over 100 wipe patterns and a keyer, complete with a chroma keyer, and a DSK with 2D DVE complete the picture.
For control, there are three choices. Front panel buttons provide access to the mixer's functions, and the full control desk panel provides the fast operation needed for live operation. The third control option is from a Windows PC, opening a whole range of possibilities for system integration, running set-piece titles sequences and more.
