FOR-A, a leader in broadcast and production technology, is set to make waves at Inter BEE 2024 with an impressive showcase of their latest innovations. The company’s exhibit will highlight their commitment to pushing the boundaries of live production, broadcasting, and virtual production. Among the most anticipated reveals is their brand new integrated live production system, the FOR-A IMPULSE, which will be introduced to the public for the first time.

Pioneering IP-Based Production and Broadcasting

FOR-A’s exhibit will underline their advancements in IP-based production. A key highlight is their hierarchical Resource Distribution System (Hi-RDS), designed to optimize resource sharing across multi-vendor environments. This innovative system is supported by their NMOS RDS software, SOM-200RDS, and enhanced by RDS filtering capabilities through the SOM-20RDS Plus. The showcase will also debut the newly developed SOM-20RDS MGR for visual node management and the SOM-200BC broadcast controller, which boasts an intuitive GUI for streamlined operations.

The Debut of FOR-A IMPULSE

A significant draw at this year’s Inter BEE will be the launch of the FOR-A IMPULSE integrated live production system. This system allows for the flexible combination of software function nodes and the customizable configuration of production pipelines, providing unparalleled adaptability to production needs. The FOR-A IMPULSE exemplifies a modern approach to integrated production that seamlessly bridges traditional and digital workflows.

Advancing Edge/Cloud Coordination

FOR-A is also showcasing the cloud-based version of the FOR-A IMPULSE system, complemented by various applications running on the company’s proprietary “ceacaa” cloud console. This platform ensures secure transmission and high-speed data transfer, enabling robust and reliable cloud operations. Attendees will also see an array of solutions, including an all-in-one live production center, a compact 1M/E switcher, and a versatile video/audio/image player tailored for live event needs.

Innovations in Virtual Production

Virtual production enthusiasts will be treated to two distinct demo studio setups at the FOR-A booth. One setup features an LED wall with tracking markers, providing a high-end option for advanced productions. The other setup employs a greenscreen and IMU tracking system, showcasing a more budget-friendly yet effective solution. These demonstrations aim to highlight scalable options that cater to varying production requirements, ensuring that FOR-A remains a pivotal player in the XR production space.
