FOR-A Corporation of America, a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will introduce the latest member of its MV series, the MV-1610HS 16-channel, multi-viewer, the HVS-650HS switcher and the MPB-100VW Video Writer for the first time at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas from June 18-20, 2008 (Booth #C2316).

First shown at NAB2008 in April, the MPB-100VW Video Writer features a telestrator that responds to a finger's touch. The Video Writer allows a user to draw and point with a finger through an optional touch panel in real-time over HD/SD-SDI video in real-time. It has pre-programmed graphic shapes for ease of use, but can also process straight line and free-hand drawings as well. The Video Writer creates an array of lines that vary in color, edge width and thickness. Drawn objects can be moved, copied or deleted as needed during demonstrations.

The MV-1610HS, also introduced at NAB2008, supports mixed input of HD-SDI, SD-SDI and analog composite signals. High-resolution video output using a DVI terminal is included as standard. Support is also provided for user-created patterns and video transfer over a LAN connection.

The viewer can be set to divide the screen in many ways, enabling the combination of small and large images. It also includes a layout editor which allows the user to make any changes to split-screen patterns from a computer.

A DVI output is available, which is well-suited for displays on large-sized screens. The layout software offers total flexibility to users to size and position any of the 16 inputs.

"FOR-A's MV series of multi-viewers offer affordable monitoring solutions for the professional A/V market," said Mr. Susumu Hotta, President of FOR-A Corporation of America. "The MV-1610HS provides support for both HD/SD-SDI and analog composite inputs simultaneously and high-quality UXGA and DVI output."


Key features of the MV-1610HS include:

Mixed input of analog composite, SD-SDI, and HD-SDI signals supported

Mixed frame rate support (ex. 1080/50i and 1080/59.94i, NTSC and PAL...)

4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio supported

HD/SD-SDI input embedded audio (eight channels) level display function

DVI-I (1920 x 1200) high resolution output as a standard
Positioning of input images in any division frames enabled
Video loss detection

Tally and title displays

Network video transfer function: LAN interface provided as standard for enabling transfer of output video over the network

The MV-1610HS multi-viewer will be available in August of this year.
