FOR-A to debut HVS-3800HS multi-bit rate switcher


The HVS-3800HS features a polygon-based HD DVE and supports all major standard and high-definition formats.

FOR-A will expand its Hanabi switcher series with the introduction of the SD/HD switchable, multi-bit rate Hanabi HVS-3800HS at NAB2005.

The HVS-3800HS is a multi-bit-rate combination of FOR-A’s HANABI HVS-3000S SD and HVS-3000H HD 2M/E switchers. The HVS-3800HS features a polygon-based HD DVE and supports all major SD and HD, including 1080i, 24p, 23.98SF and 720p.

Up to two 3-D DVE cards can be installed on the HVS-3800HS. One card can support two channels when working in the SD mode and one channel when working in HD. Two cards provide up to two channels in HD and four channels in SD. A DVE channel can be assigned to any M/E or key layer.

The HVS-3800HS will begin shipping this summer.
