As part of a fully NDI-compatible live video production ecosystem, FOR-A will be debuting the new HVS-190 video switcher at the 2023 NAB Show.
Supporting high-bandwidth NDI and NDI|HX input and output, the HVS-190 is a one M/E version of FOR-A’s flagship HVS-490 video switcher and comes standard with 3G/HD-SDI and HDMI interfaces. The HVS-190 features frame synchronisation and processing amplification on all inputs and is available in two models.
The HVS-190S, with a control panel separate from the main unit, comes with eight inputs/five outputs, and is expandable to 20 inputs/11 outputs. The HVS-190I is an integrated control panel/main unit video switcher with the same standard I/O configuration as the HVS-190S and is expandable to 16 inputs/9 outputs.
Satoshi Kanemura, President, FOR-A Americas, said, “From its NDI support to a highly flexible configuration, this is a switcher that addresses many applications, from broadcast to live event coverage and corporate a/v facilities, at an unbeatable price point.”
NDI connectivity is provided via an optional card, the HVS-NIF, which provides four inputs and two outputs. With the HVS-190 switchers, users can add output from PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, webcams, smartphone camera apps, computer content, and other sources and route video/audio from a single switcher to multiple devices.
It also provides two-way communication with multiple video, audio, control, or tally systems using only Ethernet cables. SDI playout and IP streaming occur simultaneously, enabling mixed or coordinated broadcasts of both sources.
