The HVS-300HS is the newest addition to FOR-A's popular Hanabi series and represents one of the most powerful, compact, broadcast level switchers on the market. Although small, it's 1 rack unit main frame is packed with features including: Frame synchronizing and re-sizing engine on every channel which allow any Standard Definition equipment to be used in full HD mode. It also has plenty of wipe patterns including 2D and 3D DVE transitions. The base unit also has keyer with chroma key, DSK, Dual picture in picture, 16-channel Multi Viewer, Still Stores and much more. It is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications including studio production, event and sports coverage, news, live staging and corporate use.

Compact Main Frame
The main unit incorporates up to 12 inputs and 8 outputs, Frame Synchronizer, Re-sizing Engine, Still Store, Keyer with Chroma Key, DSK, and a wide array of other functions in a compact EIA 1RU size.

Input/Output
4 HD/SD-SDI inputs and outputs are provided in the standard configuration. This includes 2 PGM outputs 2PGM outputs and 2 AUX outputs. With optional I/O cards we can provide up to 12 inputs and 8 outputs.

Frame Synchronizers
Each input is fitted with its own frame synchronizer which can be turned on or off for minimum delay
This also allows any sources without genlock capability (such as consumer devices or computers) to be used. When "genlocking" everything, we provide Black Burst or Tri-level sync output.

Up-converter/Re-sizing Engine
Up-converter/re-sizing engine on every input. Should you need to use Standard Definition equipment in HD mode, just plug in. This is ideal for users making the transition to HD production.

OSD (On-screen Display)
Another new idea is to allow switcher settings to be displayed on a preview output so that configurations can easily be modified and status verified at a glance.

Interfaces
The HVS-300HS also supports many types of interfacing, such as RS-422, Editor, ARCNET, Ethernet, GPI and Tally.

Keyer/DSK
One Keyer and one DSK are provided as standard features. The Keyer provides an easy to use broadcast level Chroma Key. Both Keyer and DSK are equipped with a SD DVE for positioning graphics or over the shoulder shots.

Transitions/DVEs
For transitions we offer CUT, MIX and over 100 wipe patterns, plus 2D/3D-DVE Wipe patterns. We even have separate transitions for the keyers and picture in picture functions.

2 Still Stores
The base unit also comes with 2 dedicated still stores, which can upload or download images via the USB port. The USB port also makes up & down-loading user settings very quick and easy.

4/10/16 Split Multi Viewer
One of the most popular new features of our switcher is its built in 16-channel display. The multiviewer also features tally and titling functions so that users always know which signals are going to each output.

2 Picture-in-Picture
For box shots, over the shoulder shots and graphic display, there are two dedicated picture in picture channels that can compress any input from 1% to 25%. These are in addition to the keyer DVEs. Users can also Expand, Squeeze, Crop and add Borders with the dual Picture-in-picture mode. These effects can be assigned to user buttons so that fade-ins, fade-outs, slide-ins and slide-outs for picture in picture transitions can be operated by single button operations.
