HD/SD Portable Digital Video Switcher HVS-500HS "1M/E HANABI Portable"
An event that FOR-A likes to think is as significant as the Big Bang Theory that gave rise to the Milky Way is about to change video switchers for ever and send them into a new orbit. The VPS-700 "GINGA" (the Japanese word for "Galaxy") from FOR-A features completely new work flows, and is bursting with special effects that were not available until now. It paves the way for ground-breaking creativity in LIVE productions and editing suites. Be prepared to have all your ideas about video switchers shattered by the VPS-700!
Multi Layer & Multi DVE The VPS-700 was developed based on an entirely new concept -- all inputs have independent 2D DVEs (option), making it equivalent to a monstrous 32-channel DVE. Mix/Effect (M/E) transitions are combined by two independent pre-combiners, and two-channel combined outputs can be assigned to the PGM and PST buses. This means that all videos that are input to the switcher can be combined and displayed at one time. This video representation delivers dramatic impact unattainable with previous video switchers. Maximum of 16 Input / Outputs All inputs in the VPS-700 include a frame synchronizer (FS) that provides asynchronous input. It also features a freeze frame function using FS memory and still store, can display video captured by M/E as still video for each input, and can display CG images that were created elsewhere. Basic input includes eight SD-SDI channels, and SDI input or analog input are also available as an option. As a digital/analog mixed switcher, the VPS-700 supports expansion up to 16 inputs. Basic output provides a total of eight channels: two PGM channels, PVW, Clean, and four AUX channels. Available options include eight SDI outputs (in four-output units) or four analog outputs (in two-output units for composite). The PVW and Clean output channels can also be used as KEY OUT, and the AUX outputs including the additional outputs can be freely assigned for enabling output of the required video from a selected terminal. M/E Bus The M/E bus can handle switching of 16 inputs (optional configuration), 4 matte generators, 2 still stores, 2 pre-combiners, and black for a total of 25 inputs. Transitions can be selected from cut, mix, wipe, and DVEs. More than 100 wipe patterns, including swirl and other distinctive patterns, are available that enable wipe borders and positioning adjustment. Wide Range of Still Stores All inputs can be frozen using FS memory. The frozen images at M/E bus can also be saved built-in-storage and can be assigned using two cross-points independent from other inputs. Proc Amp / Clip Function A process amplifier and white clip function are provided for each input as standard. This enables level and other adjustments within the switcher without the need for peripherals.
