Building on the success of the HVS-2000 2 M/E switcher, FOR-A recently introduced a 3 M/E option card for the unit. With its easy-to-use control panel, the HVS-2000 switcher now offers 3 M/E capability, a 4K 3D DVE card expansion card, and a 2SI software option, which enables switching with less delay than SQD systems. Offering the capabilities of a 7 M/E system, the HVS-2000 is ideal for a wide array of production environments and is well suited for 4K productions. The switcher offers numerous unique features, including MELite™, which allows a traditional AUX bus to transform into a functional Mix Effects with cuts, mix, wipes, keys, and DVE including full preview. MELite is the building block for more powerful, yet easy-to-use features of the HVS-2000, such as upstream and downstream transition effects.
Another unique function of the HVS-2000 is FLEXaKEY™, which allows operators to add, move, and multiply key and DVE layers to traditional M/E or MELite resources. The HVS-2000 switcher allows up to 48 inputs/18 outputs, and offers a 4K DVE expansion card that allows 3D DVEs in 4K mode. The FOR-A unit offers a first of its kind with its 2SI software option, making it the world’s first 2SI 3D DVE capable video switcher. The new version of the HVS-2000 is particularly useful for users who desire flexibility in their switching in a feature-packed, cost-efficient unit.

The HVS-2000 V6 engine is the only system that offers this kind of pure power and user flexibility
MELite™
This powerful, distinguishing and core feature allows a traditional AUX bus to transform into a full functional M/E with cuts, mixes, wipes, keys all with preview (MELite™)
The MELite is the building block to a real full function 6M/E switcher and can be assigned upstream or downstream to the main mix effects
Also, MELite™ allows to configure 3 M/E switcher which provides independent output with transition function to display sources on back monitors in the studio
ONStage™
ONStage™ is an extremely powerful capability, exclusive to FOR-A! With ONStage™ mode and our agile MELite™, operators can now preview the MELite™ before mix, wipe and keying
In addition, operators can assign multiple MELites so the operator has delegable manual lever arm transition control and assign keyer functions
With MELite™ and ONStage™ any staging venue can operate a main center Program display and operate multiple independent Image Magnification displays
Never before has this sort of power and creativity been offered to video professionals
P-MEM™
P-MEM™ is capable of memorizing and recalling full switcher set-up or series of operations on M/E, MELite™ and AUX
P-MEM™ can be used with macro functions and operators only need to push one button to perform complex series of events
