PANAMA CITY, Panama — Televisora Nacional, S.A. (TVN) is using FOR-A’s HVS-350HS HD/SD 1.5 M/E digital video switcher and HVS-300HS HD/SD portable video switcher for its programming, which includes news, soap operas, movies, talk shows, and variety shows.
“Our network is growing with the global popularity of reality programming and contest shows,” said Rolando Guerra, TVN director of engineering. “The HVS-300HS and HVS-350HS switchers from FOR-A allow us the flexibility of working with HD in two different form factors.”
Last spring, TVN-2 launched the reality show My Big Talent competition based on Britain’s Got Talent. Other programs on TVN include the dance competition Muévelo, soap opera Sueños de Verano, and Los Reyes del Humor.
“We’re pleased to offer growing television stations the ability stay on the cutting edge of technology within such cost-effective and easy-to-use packages,” said Pedro Silvestre, FOR-A. “Both switchers are portable, powerful, very easy to use, and ideal in the studio or on a location shoot.”
The HVS-300HS has a built-in multi-viewer, so external monitors are not necessary. They also feature frame sync capability on every input. The HVS-350HS HD/SD 1.5 M/E digital video switcher, the “big brother” to the HVS-300HS, adds 1.5 M/E functionality, more inputs, and more standard features – without dramatically increasing the size of the switcher or control panel.
