About the For.A HVS-392WOU 2 M/E 28-Button Control Surface
The For.A HVS-392WOU is a professional-grade video switcher control panel designed to provide tactile, hands-on operation for the corresponding video production switcher system. As a two Mix/Effects (M/E) bank control surface, it offers a comprehensive array of dedicated buttons, fader bars, and rotary encoders, giving technical directors and video engineers precise and immediate command over live video production workflows. The layout is engineered for intuitive operation during fast-paced events, such as live broadcasts, sports productions, and corporate webcasts, where rapid transitions, layered effects, and flawless execution are paramount. Its robust construction and responsive interface are built to withstand the demands of daily use in mobile trucks, broadcast studios, and fixed installation control rooms.
Functionality is centered around its 28-button configuration per M/E bank, which grants direct access to multiple video sources, key layers, transitions, and effects without requiring menu diving. Each control element is purposefully placed for ergonomic efficiency, allowing an operator to execute complex sequences involving picture-in-picture, chroma keying, and downstream keying with confidence and speed. The integrated fader handles facilitate smooth manual transitions, while the array of programmable buttons can be assigned to frequently used macros or specific input destinations, significantly streamlining the production process. This level of direct hardware control provides an operational immediacy and feedback that is essential for creative and technical precision in live environments.
The unit is designed for seamless integration within a larger production ecosystem, featuring connectivity for interfacing with the main switcher frame and ancillary control devices. It supports operational flexibility, often allowing for multiple control surfaces to be linked together for expanded access in larger productions requiring more operators. The durable button panels and mechanical components are selected for longevity and consistent performance under heavy use. As a dedicated control interface for a powerful video switcher, the HVS-392WOU embodies a professional philosophy where physical controls, reliable engineering, and an operator-centric design converge to empower production teams to deliver polished, dynamic live video content.
