FOR-A’s IBC 2022 focus will be to showcase the company’s strategy to provide a migration path to IP connectivity through the support of the NDI protocol, which allows users to work with mild compression as well as uncompressed video streams.
Fabio Varolo, Sales Manager Europe, FOR-A, said, “FOR-A is known for its highly reliable and cost-effective SDI products, including 12G-SDI for Ultra HD (UHD). And our products have IP capabilities either built-in or available as plug-in options — and NDI provides a perfect match.
“The ease of setting up IP systems using NDI means that it is spreading beyond broadcast into the live events market.
“For several years now, we have been engineering our products to support hybrid live events, and as we move towards more software-defined architectures we can continue to add functionality and efficiency within the same hardware.”
At booth 2.A51, visitors can find out how FOR-A solutions are taking advantage of the low latency offered by NDI to support live production.
For instance, the FOR-A HVS-490 production switcher can be used in tandem with the MFR-3100EX all-in-one production centre and ClassX and Brainstorm graphics, all of which support NDI connectivity.
