Emergency Production Purchases FOR-A HVS-100 Switcher

Rhode Island-based event production and rental company Emergency Production has purchased FOR-A's HVS-100 portable video switcher.

The biggest project for which Emergency Production has used FOR-A's HVS-100 involved a five-camera chain running in 23.98PsF to achieve a film look, and recorded on 14 decks with video fed to a presentation switcher for live image magnification. The event was simulcast live in three languages.

Emergency Production found the HVS-100 AUX controllers running sub-switches to be an essential part of its video production.

"A number of things led us to purchasing the HVS-100 switcher," explained Chris Hubbard, owner of Emergency Production. "First and foremost, the switcher has proven that it's highly reliable. We were also impressed with the HVS-100's ability to run multiple AUX controllers, operate native in both 1080p and 23.98PsF, which are client requested video format specifications, and its ability to assign 'anything to anything' with the outputs.

"We're extremely happy to have added this system into our inventory. After many demos and testing, in the end, purchasing the HVS-100 was a simple choice for us."

The HVS-110 features an integrated main unit and control panel, while the HVS-100 switcher comes standard with a separate main unit and control panel. Both switchers offer functions and features such as a frame synchronizer, multi-viewer capability, re-sizing engine, 2.5D wipe effects, dedicated bus buttons, AUX buttons, a fader controller, and DVE and keyer with chroma key.
