The FOR-A HVS-XT100 is a compact HD/SD digital video production switcher designed for live production environments requiring flexible input/output scaling and real-time video processing. It supports multiple broadcast formats up to 1080p and 720p with built-in frame synchronizers, DVE, and keying tools for live compositing and effects. The system is built around a modular architecture with optional expansion for additional I/O and control flexibility via a dedicated panel and web-based interface. Typical applications include live event production, broadcast studios, OB vans, sports production, and institutional AV workflows.
