FOR-A Corporation of America began shipping in July the HVS-500HS HANABI 1 M/E switcher, aimed at those working with HD, SD, HDV and DV formats in editing, studio and mobile production, up-link trucks, live staged events and broadcast. There’s a lot to like for the price, which is very competitively set: 10-bit, 4:2:2 internal processing, NTSC/PAL switchable options, four HD/SD SDI inputs, two PGM outputs, three AUX outputs, plus an optional four HD/SD-SDI inputs, four HD/SD analog with VGA inputs and one HDV/DV— all of which should help you take down the cost of HD/SD production in the field. $15,000. www.for-a.com.
