LAS VEGAS - For-A’s HVS-2000 video production switcher will make its U.S. debut at the 2015 NAB Show. As the newest Hanabi switcher, the HVS-2000 supports SD, HD, 3G and 4K productions, and up to 48 inputs/18 outputs or 40 inputs/22 outputs (optionally).

The HVS-2000 can be used for live events, studio and truck production, and other applications. A new Flexakey feature lets operators add, move and multiply key and DVE layers to traditional M/E or Me-lite resources.
