August 28, 2007
 London, UK, August 28, 2007 - FOR-A Corporation (IBC Hall, 2, Stand #141) a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will introduce the next generation of its VPS series of switchers, the VPS-715 GINGA, for the first time in Europe at IBC 2007. The VPS-715 GINGA contains all the valuable features of the VPS-700 in a 1.5 M/E digital switcher.
"We're thrilled with the improvements we've made to bring the VPS-715 to market. Its predecessor, the VPS-700 GINGA, offered unlimited production creativity when it was first introduced," said Peter Jones, General Manager FOR-A UK . "By offering the power of the VPS-700 with a 1.5 M/E, the VPS-715 goes one step further."
The VPS-700 switcher and the VPS-715 switcher include Frame Synchronizer for every input, up to 16 SD inputs and outputs, six keyers, and six channels of 3D DVE.
The VPS-715's large control panel assures user friendly operation. The control panel consists of 16 primary input buttons, PST/PGM (Preview/Program) BUS, ME (MIX/EFFECT) BUS, KEY/FILL BUS, AUX BUS and function keys. Another newly added feature on the VPS-715 is its VPS-70FR Flash Recorder Option. This allows 120 seconds of uncompressed video recording and provides two channels (Key/Fill) with simultaneous playback for video insert, CG wipe or slow motion play-back. The switcher's Fader link function allows for manual playback control as well. The VPS-715 is equipped with redundant power supplies for the MU and OU as standard.
As an option on the VPS-715, users can add 2D DVE in every input, delivering up to 32 DVE channels and total flexibility for multi-source productions. It supports the 525/60 and 625/50 standard definition formats and is ideally suited for mobile production and in-studio broadcasting applications. It features eight standard inputs, each of which has a frame synchronizer and still store feature using the F/S freeze and eight standard outputs, which can be increased by increments of four to up to 16 primary inputs, 16 outputs and six key layers (four keyers and two DSK).
Both the VPS-715 and the VPS-700 come with a total of six key layers, four M/E keyers for linear, luminance, chroma (optional) with edge/shadow generation and key mask functions, and two downstream serial keyers (DSKs).
