Cypress, CA, November 16, 2015 – FOR-A announces plans to showcase its lineup of
video switchers at the upcoming
Worship Facilities Conference and Expo
(WFX), which takes place November 18-19 at the Music City Center in
Nashville. Popular with many houses of worship, FOR-A’s HVS-2000,
HVS-100HS, and HVS-390HS units will be displayed at WFX within booth
#118.
"House of worship is a very important area for FOR-A," said Jay Shinn,
Vice President of FOR-A America. "Many worship centers rely on our
cost-efficient video switchers to help them communicate their messages
better to their congregations, and to create richer audience
experiences. We are always looking to further strengthen our business in
religious technology, and WFX is the place to be to aid in doing that."
Debuting in the U.S. at NAB this year, the user-friendly HVS-2000 has
fast become a popular choice for houses of worship. Current users
include California-based Valley Baptist Church, Frazer United Methodist
Church in Alabama, and California’s High Desert Church. The switcher
supports SD, HD, 3G and 4K applications, up to 48 inputs/18 outputs or
40 inputs/22 outputs, and features exclusive functions that allow
operators to enhance their power and creativity in video switching. One
useful HVS-2000 feature for house of worship productions is ONStageâ„¢,
which was designed specifically for staging events where multiple image
magnification displays are used. The switcher mode allows operators to
view mix, wipe, key and DVE changes under full preview control connected
directly to the lever arm transition area. Other exclusive features of
the unit include MELiteâ„¢, which allows a traditional AUX bus to
transform into functional Mix Effects with cuts, mix, wipes, keys, and
DVE including full preview, and FLEXaKEYâ„¢, which allows operators to
tailor their production needs by adding, moving, and multiplying key and
DVE layers to traditional M/E or MELite resources.
Another video switcher to be shown by FOR-A is the HVS-100HS
portable video switcher.
The unit offers a wide range of functions, including mixed HD/SD input,
frame synchronization, multi-viewer capability, re-sizing engine, 2.5D
wipe effects and DVE and keyer with chroma key. The compact,
feature-packed HVS-100HS is a popular choice for houses of worship,
including use by Arizona’s Sun Valley Community Church and Georgia-based
12Stone Church, who owns four switchers that enable quick and easy
setup at their remote campuses for Sunday services.
Also to be showcased at WFX is the versatile HVS-390HS video switcher,
which includes 16 HD/SD-SDI inputs and eight outputs (expandable to 24
inputs and 13 outputs), with frame synchronizers for all inputs.
Featuring advanced AUX technology and unique functionality, the
HVS-390HS has the capability of a 6 M/E unit. Ohio’s Faith Family
Church, First Baptist Church Oviedo, Detroit-based Kensington Church,
and Manhattan’s historic Trinity Church are among the many HVS-390HS
house of worship users.
