HVS-Q12HVS-Q12 MixBoardMixBoard® FOR-A HVS-190SHVS-190 Series

Cypress, CA, July 20, 2026FOR-A America will display its latest live production technology for the first time at the upcoming MMCA Show in Pensacola, Fla. (July 21–24). Designed for the house of worship AV market, MMCA is an annual event that gathers many top decision-makers.

FOR-A America will showcase several of its new solutions, including the powerful HVS-Q12 video switcher, Alfalite LED displays, HVS-190 series 1M/E video switcher, Insight server, MixBoard® software-based switcher powered by ClassX, and viztrick AiDi – a 9:16 auto-cropping and tracking AI solution developed by Nippon TV and delivered globally by FOR-A.

“We are focused on our presence in this market,” explained FOR-A America President and COO Satoshi Kanemura. “Some people are familiar with our reputation for support and rock-solid engineering but others less so. We’re eager to demonstrate just what our solutions offer house of worship production teams. It’s also an important event to attend to support our dealers and integrators, and by extension, the customer.”

FOR-A America just announced the company’s first sale of an HVS-Q12 in the U.S. The sale was to CornerstoneSF Church, a long-term customer of FOR-A America. The HVS-Q12 will be used in the church’s new UHD studios. The HVS-Q12 was selected for CornerstoneSF by the San Francisco–based systems integration firm, Novo Group.

“This project reflects exactly what we set out to achieve with the HVS-Q12,” added Kanemura. “It’s a powerful production switcher that delivers broadcast-quality performance while remaining intuitive enough for operators of all experience levels. We’re excited that the first U.S. deployment of the HVS-Q12 is helping establish a new benchmark for live production in the house of worship market, and we look forward to supporting many more customers as they modernize their production workflows.”

The 2 M/E HVS-Q12 is a 3G switcher that is software upgradable to 12G and provides 3 M/E equivalent operation with MELite™ technology. Designed for broadcast control rooms and live event production, it is a compact 4RU, but provides up to 60 inputs and 30 outputs in 3G mode and up to 42 inputs and 21 outputs in 12G. Up to 8 keyers are available per M/E at HD/3G. Four keyers are available for 12G transmission. The HVS-Q12 has an IP interface for both Dante® and NDI® support.

LED Displays from Alfalite

FOR-A America is the U.S. partner of the Spanish LED screen manufacturer, Alfalite, whose latest display developments will be on hand.
