“InfoComm is an important show to FOR-A,” said Ken Truong, President, FOR-A America. “It’s always a great chance for us to connect with dealers, customers, and prospective customers that we may not have had the opportunity to meet with at NAB. FOR-A is looking forward to showcasing some of our popular solutions to InfoComm attendees.”

One focus of FOR-A’s InfoComm booth is its cost-effective video switchers. The company will demo the HVS-490 and HVS-100 units. The HVS-490 is one of the newest units in FOR-A’s long line of HANABI video switchers.

The compact HVS-490 production switcher is designed for use in any live environment, including mobile shoots, events, and in-house corporate productions. The switcher provides users with event memory and macro functions, as well as integrated frame synchronizers and multi viewers - making it easy to set up quickly for live performances.

Features of the unit include mixed HD/SD input, frame synchronizing, re-sizing engine, a built-in Web server, 2.5D wipe effects, DVE, Chroma keyer and DSK.
