He plans to gather feedback on how the technology can improve operations and learn about new upgrades desired by end users.
For-A America has a solid history of collaboration with Paryzek, particularly on complex house of worship installs. This new position marks a continuation of their successful partnership.
In the past year, For-A has introduced several significant products, including the HiRDS, STMPE ST 2210 resource-sharing software, MixBoard software-based switcher, and significant updates to SOAR-A. The company is planning to focus heavily on several new IP-based and high-bandwidth SDI technologies this year.
These technologies are likely to include IP video infrastructure and routing for more flexible, scalable video workflows compared to traditional SDI. Software-defined video switchers that use software platforms to control video switching and processing, allowing greater integration and remote operation, are also expected. Products related to NDI (Network Device Interface) and SMPTE ST 2110 standards, enabling IP interoperability in live broadcast and streaming environments, are also on the agenda.
Hybrid hardware/software solutions that support video over IP, cloud integration, and automation features are also expected. For-A America showcased bridge technologies like the FA-1616 multichannel processor and the SOAR-A Edge IP transport appliances, enabling flexible SDI-to-IP live production workflow, at recent events.
