At BroadcastAsia 2024, FOR-A will be demonstrating its leadership in Ultra HD (UHD) over 12G-SDI. Taking centre stage is its HVS-6000 production switcher, which provides 12G-SDI capability on all inputs and outputs (80 inputs/32 outputs or 64 inputs/48 outputs), with an optional board-mounting connector allowing IP interfaces to be mounted on all I/O slots.
The result is a production switcher with three M/Es and four keyers per M/E, providing all the flexibility and creative power for the largest TV shows. For studios that are in the transition phase, the switcher allows up-conversion from HD to 4K on all inputs, with down-conversion on all aux outputs.
Also to be showcased at booth 6D3-4 are other examples of the way that FOR-A technology can deliver a complete infrastructure for HD and 4K; SDI and IP.
Its FA-1616 software-defined signal processing platform bridges the gap between SDI and IP workflows, provides frame synchronisation for up to 32 channels, plus colour correction and audio remapping. The FA-9600 multi-purpose signal processor offers four synchronisation modes, flexible timecode management, high-quality conversion, versatile video and audio I/O, and conversion between standard colour space and high dynamic range (HDR) and wide colour gamut (WCG).
The compact 1RU FA-1616 and FA-9600 are ideal standalone solutions for master control, outside broadcasts and many other applications.
Robert Shen, Sales Manager of FOR-A in Singapore, said, “BroadcastAsia is a very popular show, where all the production, broadcast and media people come together.
“We know that our customers are facing real challenges in handling more signals, creating more content and delivering more formats, all while quality standards are being pushed up and technology is moving fast from legacy broadcast hardware to software-defined tools and IP connectivity.
“At FOR-A we have the answers in our proven, highly reliable products, that are designed for flexibility and scalability, allowing our users to move forward at their own pace. Through our demonstrations at BroadcastAsia, and through our partnerships with other highly regarded vendors in the industry, we will show how visitors can address the real issues facing them today, reliably and cost-effectively.”
