The HVS-100 and the HVS-110, FOR-A's HD/SD portable video switchers, boast exceptional cost performance. Both servers inherit and improve upon the diverse functions and features of the popular HVS-300HS, including mixed HD/SD input, frame synchronizing, re-sizing engine, 2.5D wipe effects, DVE, Chroma keyer and DSK. The HVS-100 and HVS-110 also have a built-in Web server that lets you change settings from a PC or a tablet. A clip memory feature has been added to the still store to support playback of video or animations and enhances productions through the use of CG wipes, while the multi-viewer meets a diverse range of monitoring needs. The equipment can be used in all types of locations, including live events, sports, news studios, OB vans, editorial offices and presentation venues, making it the ideal tool for shaping the imaginative ideas of video creators. Recently, the HVS-100 and the HVS 110 received new functionality and are now able to accept HVS-100TB2 Thunderbolt 2 I/O expansion cards, which allows users to transfer video content with a single cable through computers and interface with other devices, such as character generators, virtual studios. One cable allows transmission of 4 HD or 1 4K (UHD) signal lines.
HVS-100 Separated Main Unit/Control Panel Type
The control panel has been laid out specifically with professionals in mind with a design that leverages the knowledge of expert operators. It includes dedicated bus buttons, AUX buttons, a fader controller and direct user buttons for various functions. The main unit offers exceptional expandability to facilitate the addition of a redundant power source unit and various input/output cards.
HVS-110 Integrated Main Unit/Control Panel Type
Featuring operability almost on par with the HVS-100, the HVS-110 also boasts a compact design enabling simple portability. The inclusion of ample video input and output functionality, making it ideal for use in small broadcasting vans and broadcasting helicopters. Despite being portable, a redundant power source is also possible using an optional AC adaptor.
- HVS-100
- 8 HD/SD SDI inputs, 4 HD/SD SDI outputs and 1 HDMI output come as standard. Mixed HD/SD input is supported in the standard configuration
- The 5 outputs can all be freely assigned
- Three slots enable various inputs and outputs to be added, such as analog component, analog composite, HDMI, and VGA in addition to more HD/SD-SDI
Frame Synchronizers
Every input in the HVS-100 and 8 inputs in the HVS-110 are fitted with frame synchronizers that enable switching of synchronous and asynchronous video signals
Installation of optional expansion cards supports asynchronous picture input from PCs, etc. Each input is also equipped with a process amplifier capable of adjusting the video level and chroma level, etc. of the input signal
Re-sizing Engine
Up-resizing engines are provided on 4 of the standard inputs
This achieves a fully mixed SD/HD environment with the switcher alone
The optional input cards also have re-sizing engine
This is readily suitable for re-sizing not only SD signals but also PC video
2 Keyers and 2 DSKs
Further proof of the power of these new small mixers is that they come as standard with 2 keyers, 2 DSKs and 4 powerful 2.5D DVE engines
An advanced, high quality Chroma keyer can be assigned to any one of the two M/E Keyers or two Downstream Keyers
The 4 powerful DVE engines, can be assigned to any keyer or used for transitions etc, and with their standard 2.5D ability, allows flexible creativity for the operator to enhance productions
Abundant Transitions and DVEs
Cut, mix and wipe can be chosen for the transition
Diverse DVE wipes include 100 2.5D wipe patterns
Along with wipes, effects like mosaic and defocus are also provided
2 Still/Clip Stores
Powerful, high capacity clip stores are now a standard feature. Each store can hold up to 227 frames of HD video
Images can be recorded and played back from incoming video or PGM o/p, or animations transferred over FTP (.bmp, .jpeg, .tga sequences)
Clip store images can be used as CG wipe transitions, to further enhance possibilities and add production value
In addition, should both stores be used for clips, then still images can still be used as well, by the standard feature of using some of the inputs as still stores
2/4/5/7/9/10/11/16 Split Multi Viewer
Display channels can be freely assigned, allowing assignment of not only input source but also PGM output
Each channel offers title display and tally display functions
Event Memory and User Button
The main unit is equipped with an event memory function allowing up to 100 events to be stored
Event memories can be simply recalled by the user buttons
Mixer set-ups and useful operational tools such as key set up, DVE position/size etc can all be stored in event memories
Operators can freely set the transition time and effect for loading events
By setting up in advance, event memories can bring extra power and creativity, simply by pressing buttons during the live event
User buttons can also be used for many other features, such as instant navigation to a selectable menu page, or grab a still, or send a GPI, or preview a key etc as well as many other functions to make life easier in a live production
Macro Function
A macro function enables you to store and register a series of operations and then perform complicated operations with one push of a button
Freely Assignable DSK
The 2 Downstream keyers can be assigned to either the M/E PGM, M/E PST or an AUX output
As we also include the ability to mix on an Aux crosspoint selection, the Aux outputs can effectively and creatively be used to do away with the need for multiple M/Es, when creating different outputs for different screens or feeds at a live venue
External Interfaces
External interfaces include GPI port supporting up to 24 inputs/outputs and two RS-422 ports as standard
The RS-422 ports support for connecting an HVS-30RU remote unit, tally expansion boxes, device specific VDCP, VTR, MFR routers, or TSL
An Ethernet port is used during PC control
An editor interface option allow to connect to an editor/automation system or other external control system
GUI Control Function via Web Browser
An in-built Web server enables the settings of the HVS-100 and HVS-110 to be changed from a PC via a network
Mobile and tablet terminals can also be used through a wireless access point
Redundant Power Supply
An optional redundant power supply unit enables doubling-up of power source (redundant AC adaptor for the HVS-110)
An enlarged fan and improved exhaust process guarantee quiet operation
4K (Ultra-HD) Switcher Capability
The HVS-100 and HVS-110 can be used as 4K switchers with HVS-100EXP3G. HVS-100 supports 2 inputs/1 output (expandable to 3 inputs/2 outputs with optional Input/Output cards)
HVS-110 supports 3 inputs/2 outputs. In conjuction with MFR series, 4K input channels can be expanded
Cut and mix are provided as transitions
