FOR-A TO SHOWCASE PRODUCT RANGE AT UPCOMING INFOCOMM

Fort Lee, N.J., May 31 2011 – FOR-A, a leading manufacturer of video and audio
systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will highlight a variety of
recently introduced products at the 2011 InfoComm Show, which runs June 15-17 at
the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Demonstrating in Booth 5751,
FOR-A will showcase its FA-9500 multipurpose signal processor, HVS-350HS
HD/SD 1.5 M/E digital video switcher, FVW-500HS HD/SD video writer, LTR-
100HS video archive recorder, MV-3200 Series multi-viewer and MV-1600HS Series
multi-viewer.

“InfoComm has always been a key show for us,” said Pedro Silvestre, FOR-A
Corporation of America, Sales Director. “It’s the world’s largest conference for the
professional AV industry, which along with broadcast, is one of the top areas we
serve. Our company’s research and development focuses its design criterion on
products and features that will benefit video professionals working in this challenging
but dynamic field. We see our customer base grow every year after our InfoComm
participation.”

The FA-9500 multipurpose signal processor offers frame sync and video and audio
conversion tools, as well as a variety of options for improved video production
functionality. It supports 3G-SDI, HD/SD-SDI, and analog composite I/O, and
provides up/down/cross/aspect converters, second converter, color corrector, and
automatic video optimizer as standard features.

Ideal for mobile production units and smaller control rooms, FOR-A will also show
the HVS-350HS switcher at InfoComm. It includes eight inputs and outputs standard
(expandable to 24 inputs and 12 outputs), and its 10-bit processor supports 1080i,
720p, NTSC, and PAL formats. Built-in frame synchronizers on each input and a
resizing engine on four inputs allows asynchronous signals – including HD, SD,
analog, and PC signals – to be switched in the same program.

Also being demonstrated at FOR-A’s booth will be the FVW-500HS video writer,
which enables freehand drawing and positioning of objects and image files over
video. This system provides drawing tools for a variety of markets, including usage in
replay commentary in sports broadcasts, news programs, and weather forecasts, as
well as in creating educational materials and in the medical field.

Awarded as a Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit at last year’s NAB Show, the FOR-A
LTR-100HS video archiving recorder will also be on display. The recorder supports
LTO-5 technology, the latest standard in long-term, high-capacity tape storage, to
provide a simple and effective archive solution. Equipped with a high quality MPEG-
2 codec, the LTR-100HS includes an MXF wrapper/un-wrapper, so MXF files
(XDCAM HD/HD422/IMX) recorded to LTO-5 tape can be used directly by many
NLE systems. LTO-5 tape cartridges can store approximately 50 hours of
programming recorded at 50 Mbps.

FOR-A’s MV-3200 Series multi-viewer provides customizable support for up to 32

inputs and four display outputs. It offers a multi-monitor display environment suited
to a system by selecting and installing the required input and output cards on a 2 U
frame, so control rooms don’t have to supplement their video walls with additional
monitors. The choice of input boards provides support for various asynchronous
HD/SD-SDI, analog composite, and DVI (analog and digital) signals, as well as
analog or AES audio. The other multi-viewer that will be showcased at InfoComm is
the MV-1600, which offers the capability of viewing video from up to 16 channels on
a single monitor. In addition to regular video output, the MV-1600 also includes
SXGA high-resolution output and a remote monitoring function over a network as
standard features.
