FOR-A is introducing the HVS-300HS HD/SD switcher, which features a compact main unit measuring 1RU, making it an ideal solution for use in flypacks or remote production applications that would benefit from its space-saving design. The HVS-300HS supports 1080/60i, 59.94i, 50i, 24PsF, 23.98PsF, 720/60p, 59.94p, 50p, 525/60 (NTSC), 625/50 (PAL). It also contains an internal, 10-bit processor for broadcast-quality 4:2:2:4. Easy-to-use control buttons located on the front panel of the main unit allow an operator to perform all standard switcher operations such as cuts, wipes, fades and keys. Control parameters are displayed on a Preview output for ease of operation, and users can install control software to run the switcher from a PC. Available early 2009. www.for-a.com
