FOR-A UK is featuring four new multi-format broadcast television production products at the Broadcast Video Expo (BVE) stand H 50 at London's Earls Court 17-19 February 2009.

The HVS-300HS is a compact, cost-effective 1 M/E multi-format vision mixer. Its 1RU mainframe makes it an ideal solution for flypacks, remote productions as well as OBs and studios – where space is at a premium but features and performance are a must. As a live/production video switcher it packs a robust array of features and options for a wide variety of applications. There is support for all common formats: 1080/60i, 59.94i, 50i, 24PsF, 23.98PsF, 720/60p, 59.94p, 50p, 525/60 (NTSC), 625/50 (PAL). Internal processing is broadcast quality 10-bit 4:2:2:4.

The mainframe includes easy-to-use front-panel buttons for all standard mixer operations including 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. The compact 2RU external panel adds more functions.

As standard there are 4 x HD/SD-SDI inputs and outputs (PGM x 2, AUX x 2). Each input has independent process control as well as a frame synchronizer and re-sizing engine to simultaneously accept non-synchronized SD and HD sources. Up to 12 inputs and 8 outputs can be supplied to suit a wide range of applications; HD/SD-SDI, DVI, HD/SD analogue component and composite inputs, and HD/SD analogue component and composite, DVI-I, HDMI and HDV outputs.

The HVS-300HS also features a 16-split multiviewer as standard (4/10/16 multiview, tally, title, etc.), two channels of stills store, two channels of picture-in-picture, a keyer with chroma key and a DSK. Each keyer has its own 2D DVE and various 2D and 3D DVE transitions are possible.

The HVS-300HS mixer series is available early in 2009.
