For-A will present its new MV 3240 multiviewer at NAB 2021

The MV 3240 multiviewer For-A, a 32-channel multi-display system that supports custom layouts with up to 25 windows for a single 4K output, will be present at NAB Show 2021.

He MV-3240 supports up to 16 inputs for 6G-SDI and even 32 inputs for 3G/HD/SD-SDI, as well as enabling conversion flows HD a 4K. It includes five outputs for 3G/HD-SDI or one output for 12G-SDI, as well as an HDMI output that doubles the SDI output. The ability to cascade multiple units, on the other hand, allows for scaling the number of available windows.

Satoshi Kanemure, president of For-A Corporation of America, plans that the launch can serve to solve the hybrid needs of different broadcasters: "Not all installations or mobile units are prepared to move to IP, although they still need to manage a large number of SDI inputs. The compact MV-3240 offers the necessary flexibility to display HD or 4K sources, as well as the ability to support multi-format productions that use both."

MV Series Features

Built in the same 1 RU chassis as the multi-display system MV-1640IP From FOR-A, recently introduced and designed for IP or hybrid workflows, the MV-3240 also shares many of the standard features found in other MV series units. For example, displays can include count, title, and time code, as well as time, timers, and information display. The MV-3240's built-in layout manager makes it easy to create custom layouts, which can be saved and recalled directly from the unit's front control panel.

On the other hand, up to four logos can be stored to be displayed in the title areas. It is also possible to view the audio level and audio monitoring output. As additional features, its integrated M-JPEG video output serves to easily monitor signals outside the control room, allowing users to access the signal from any device with Internet access; Its dedicated Windows application also makes it easy to monitor M-JPEC streaming video; and its pre-alarm recording allows images to be stored on the hard drive of a PC and reviewed when an error occurs.

For-A has taken advantage of the announcement to announce that it is currently developing custom designs of the MV-3240 for up to 40 windows for four 2K outputs, as well as optional support for up to 16 inputs for 12G-SDI.
