FOR-A, a prominent video broadcast technology company with over 50 years of experience, is participating in the 30th anniversary of the CABSAT exhibition.
The company is displaying its innovative and adaptable systems, highlighting solutions based on SDI, including 12G for Ultra HD, as well as both compressed and uncompressed live video standards.
Production Switchers
The HVS-190 and HVS-490 production switchers exemplify modern flexibility, offering the addition of NDI® connectivity alongside SDI. The HVS-190 is a compact 1 M/E switcher, while the HVS-490 employs FOR-A’s MELite™ technology to extend its 2 M/E banks to 6 M/E performance with up to 12 keyers. These switchers also feature a web server for remote configuration and control via computer or tablet.
Integrated Systems
FOR-A emphasizes the ease of building integrated systems by pairing the production switchers with the MFR-3100EX live routing switcher. This device includes director control of a PTZ camera and a multi-viewer. Additionally, the FA-1616 provides powerful video processing in a 1RU cabinet, supporting up to 16 channels at 4K resolution, with color correction and audio remapping capabilities.
Sports Broadcasting

The MV-3240 multi-viewer, also on display, accepts up to 32 inputs, including 12G Ultra HD, and provides multiple SDI outputs as well as 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs. This compact device can be cascaded to accommodate more complex environments.
