FOR-A goes to ASIS armed with an array of products for the Security Market

September 16, 2009

FORT LEE, NJ, September 16, 2009 - FOR-A Corporation of America (Booth # 2785), a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems, will present five products specifically aimed for more effective security and video surveillance during the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) International Seminar and Exhibits, Sept. 21-24, 2009, in Anaheim, CA.

On display at ASIS will be the MV-1610HS Multi Viewer; the FA-91ALC Automatic Video Level Controller; the IVS-700HS HD/SD Video Stabilizer; the IVS-100 Video Stabilizer; and the HTG-35A High Performance Character Generator.

"Security is a priority for everyone," said Thomas Yuhas, National Sales Director, FOR A Corporation of America. "FOR-A is able to put our products to use where they can save property and lives. These products have been designed for the 24/7, high-quality world of broadcast television so they are extremely well-suited for security applications."

Recently shown at NAB, the MV-1610HS Multi Viewer is prominent in a series of multi viewers that offer a very affordable monitoring solution. Clients can choose almost any format or mixture of formats from four to 16 inputs. The MV-1610HS supports mixed input of HD-SDI, SD-SDI and analog composite signals. Digital or analog RGB computer inputs are also available with a DVI connector. Mixing formats with different frame rates in HD or even PAL and NTSC is possible as well. This unit offers high-resolution video output using DVI with resolutions up to 1920 by 1080.

When it's necessary to see what is lurking in the dark, the FA-91ALC Automatic Video Level Controller automatically adjusts/corrects the incoming signal to the levels, once the levels have been set. For example, dark images, such as the outdoors at night, would be corrected to be brighter so the subjects are easier to see. This is especially important in the security environment where conditions are not designed for filming and subjects are not shot by professionals.

Also in the interest of the amateur operator, the IVS-700HS HD/SD Video Stabilizer reduces the unsteadiness in standard-definition and HD video images shot in adverse conditions or from a long distance with a telephoto lens. Supporting HD and 525/60, 625/50 signals, the IVS-700HS features high-quality 10-bit processing and reliable image enhancement circuitry that is tailored to meet the demands of high-level security video analysis where a detailed high-definition image is invaluable.

Similarly, the IVS-100 Video Stabilizer electrically corrects video shaking that occurs in a camera and it is able to do it in real time. When dealing with older media, it can also correct unsteadiness on recorded VCR tapes.

At ASIS, FOR-A will also present the HTG-35A High-Performance Character Generator capable of superimposing camera titles, date and time, logos, and graphics on input video signals. It features two types of display fonts (Gothic and Roman), displays up to 40 characters each in 10 rows, five font size settings, and color text display that allows color changes in line units.
