CYPRESS, CA, February 22, 2006 – FOR-A Corporation of America,a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will introduce the latest member of its MV series, the MV-16S 16-channel, multi-viewer at NAB2006 in Las Vegas from April 22-27 (Booth #C3210). The MV-16S supports analog composite and SD-SDI mixed inputs.
 
The viewer can be set to divide the screen in many ways, such as 4, 5+1, 8+1, 9, 12, 12+1 or 16 sections, enabling the combination of small and large images. An optional UXGA or DVI output is available, which is well-suited for displays on large-sized screens. The optional layout software offers total flexibility to users to size and position any of the 16 inputs. The MV-16S also accepts asynchronous mixed input of analog composite and SD-SDI signals, and it is NTSC and PAL compatible (auto detect).
 
“FOR-A’s MV series of multi-viewers have been widely embraced by television broadcasters throughout the world,” said Hiro Tanoue, Sales Manager, Eastern Region and Central/South America, FOR-A. “The MV-16S’ low cost, support for both SDI and analog composite inputs simultaneously, and high quality UXGA and DVI output is exceptional for all broadcasters’ monitoring applications.”
