FOR-A showcases next-generation broadcast solutions at CABSAT
The company will highlight four key technologies, all making their CABSAT debut, that are transforming broadcast workflows across the Middle East, Africa and beyond. FOR-A is set to showcase its latest lineup of next-generation broadcast technologies at CABSAT 2025, taking place from May 13 to 15 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Stand AR-G10). Under the theme 'Connecting the present, Building the future,' the company will demonstrate how its cutting-edge solutions are bridging current production needs with the evolving demands of tomorrow's broadcast environments. Among the highlights of FOR-A's exhibit will be four groundbreaking technologies making their regional debut. Leading the lineup is FOR-A IMPULSE (Integrated Media Platform with UnLimited StructurE), which recently earned the Best of Show Award at NAB 2025. This software-defined live production platform merges essential broadcast functions—such as switchers, signal processors, multi-viewers, graphic generators, audio mixers, and media players—into a single, cohesive software solution. Its intuitive graph editor allows operators to create tailored production pipelines on the fly, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware and enabling unmatched workflow flexibility. Another showstopper will be the HANABI HVS-Q12, FOR-A's flagship production switcher, which represents a major leap forward in compact and scalable switcher technology. Housed in a space-saving 4RU chassis, the HVS-Q12 is designed for both 3G and 12G operations, allowing broadcasters to transition seamlessly to 4K/UHD workflows. The unit supports up to 60 inputs and 32 outputs in 3G mode, and up to 42 inputs and 23 outputs in 12G mode. It also features dual HDMI outputs and offers compatibility with IP standards such as Dante and NDI, enhancing its integration potential across diverse production environments. Also making its regional debut is the FOR-A MixBoard, developed in partnership with ClassX. Following its initial launch at IBC 2024—where it won the TVBEurope Best of Show award—and a subsequent Best of Show Award at NAB 2025, the software-based switcher continues to impress. With unlimited layering capabilities, the MixBoard allows seamless operation across SDI, NDI, SMPTE ST 2110, media files, and live streams. Available in 8-input and 16-input configurations, it offers advanced features through an intuitive interface, giving producers creative freedom in live production scenarios. Rounding out the showcase is FOR-A's AI-powered assistant, codenamed AiDi, which will be introduced to the region for the first time. Designed to run offline on a single PC, AiDi delivers real-time video processing with ultra-low latency. Drawing on over five decades of archived content, AiDi supports a range of intelligent features including automated subtitle translation, audio analysis, live video monitoring, face and object recognition, synthetic graphics generation, and player tracking for sports broadcasts—bringing new levels of automation and insight to modern production workflows. 'The broadcast landscape in the Middle East and Africa continues to evolve rapidly with major sporting events, cultural celebrations, and government initiatives driving demand for higher quality content and more flexible delivery options,' said Mohammed Abu Ziyadeh, FOR-A Regional Manager for the Middle East and Africa. 'Our solutions bridge traditional workflows with next-generation technologies, allowing broadcasters to evolve at their own pace, whether maintaining SDI infrastructures, exploring hybrid workflows, or fully embracing IP and software-defined production.'

FOR-A to introduce software-defined live production platform at NAB
FOR-A will also hold a technology sneak preview just before the start of NAB, 'FOR-A Connect,' on Saturday, April 5. In response to the growing demand for cost-effective and flexible live video production, FOR-A is set to introduce its next-generation platform, FOR-A IMPULSE, at the NAB Show 2025 in April. This solution consolidates multiple production functions into a single host machine, eliminating the need for dedicated devices while maintaining high-quality video production. FOR-A America will showcase the new platform at Booth N707 during the event, which takes place from April 6-9 in Las Vegas. FOR-A IMPULSE (Integrated Media Platform with UnLimited StructurE) integrates essential production functions such as signal processing, multi-viewing, switching, graphics, audio mixing and media playback into software-based nodes. Operators can intuitively connect these nodes using the system's graph editor, allowing for flexible and easily reconfigurable production pipelines. Satoshi Kanemura, President, FOR-A America, said: 'By creating an efficient and flexible production environment, FOR-A IMPULSE will have a major impact on live production workflows. Until recently, live production has required purchasing large-scale, physical equipment and combining a variety of devices. We are introducing a fully software-based platform that's easy to change as you like depending on the application. 'As the amount of video production continues to skyrocket, there are several issues we wanted to address immediately: the shortage of technical talent, the efficient use of equipment resources, and streamlining workflows. Since our design philosophy is to create 'Software Defined' technology, we created a solution that includes all the functions needed for video production as software nodes, creating a 'Station in a Box' model.' By consolidating backup and maintenance functions, FOR-A IMPULSE minimises technical burdens and offers an intuitive interface, making it accessible even to users without advanced expertise. Its comprehensive support structure ensures smooth operation through license management and service assistance. Designed for remote and distributed production, FOR-A IMPULSE allows full control via a web browser, enabling operation from virtually any location. Additionally, hardware panels can be connected for enhanced flexibility, supporting collaboration across multiple locations. Beyond individual production environments, FOR-A IMPULSE integrates with the Hi-RDS hierarchical RDS solution, facilitating shared resource allocation across different production islands. This capability helps reduce equipment costs and increases productivity by dynamically assigning nodes to various projects based on scheduling needs. Offering deployment flexibility, FOR-A IMPULSE can operate on-premises, in data centres, or within public cloud environments, giving users strategic control over infrastructure and costs. Future cloud-based deployments will enable a scalable, cost-efficient approach, allowing users to start with lightweight instances and expand as needed. With no vendor lock-in, the platform supports multi-cloud environments, ensuring reliability and redundancy. FOR-A plans to continuously enhance the FOR-A IMPULSE lineup, introducing updates to the on-premise model along with the development of a new cloud-based solution. Additionally, FOR-A will host a technology preview event, FOR-A Connect, on April 5 at 3 PM in Room S232 of the South Hall, offering attendees an exclusive first look at the platform ahead of its NAB Show debut.
