FOR-A is showcasing a range of software-defined innovations at IBC2025 in Amsterdam, focusing on technologies that bridge traditional broadcast infrastructure with future capabilities. The exhibition highlights how European broadcasters are implementing these solutions for immediate operational benefits while planning for future expansion.
MixBoard Continues to Transform Creative Possibilities
The award-winning FOR-A MixBoard, powered by ClassX, remains a standout product with its unlimited layering capability. This fully software-based switcher combines advanced features with an intuitive interface, enabling producers to create complex compositions that were once challenging with traditional hardware switchers. The MixBoard has previously won Best of Show at both NAB 2025 and IBC2024.
HVS-Q12 Production Switcher Delivers Broadcast-Grade Reliability
The HVS-Q12 production switcher is a flagship product that delivers broadcast-grade reliability in a compact 4RU package. Software-upgradable from 3G-SDI to 12G-SDI, the HVS-Q12 supports up to 60 inputs and 32 outputs in 3G mode, featuring IP interfaces for Dante and NDI® support. It secured the BroadcastPro Manufacturer Award at CABSAT 2025.
New MRF-5100EX Routing Switcher Makes European Debut
The new MRF-5100EX routing switcher, debuting at IBC 2025, supports multi-format resolutions including 4K and 8K, with audio capabilities such as MADI, AES/EBU, and analogue audio. Capable of configuring up to a 128 x 128 matrix, multiple units can be linked for expansion and redundancy, making it a flexible core product for system integration. An optional multi-viewer function enhances production efficiency.
FOR-A IMPULSE: A Station in a Box
The FOR-A IMPULSE is another highlight, representing the evolution of broadcast production by consolidating signal processing, switching, graphics, audio mixing, and media playback into software functions. This platform enables flexible remote operation via web browser from virtually any location, winning awards at both NAB Show 2025 and BIRTV 2025.
viztrick AiDi: On-Device AI Solution
Making its European debut, viztrick AiDi is a new intuitive On-Device AI solution that operates without internet connectivity. Processing video in real-time with low latency, it enables face and object recognition, graphic synthesis, and sports player tracking. At IBC2025, FOR-A will showcase the sports package with live demonstrations focusing on soccer/football applications.
Fabio Varolo, Sales Manager for FOR-A Europe, noted, “The broadcast industry is at a fascinating crossroads where traditional reliability meets future possibility. European broadcasters are demonstrating remarkable sophistication in connecting their existing infrastructure with tomorrow’s creative potential through intelligent evolution.”>
FOR-A’s approach emphasizes seamless integration with existing infrastructure, allowing broadcasters to adopt these technologies incrementally without wholesale replacement of current systems.
