With its lightweight, compact design, the VTW-330HS is a portable, affordable Character Generator that is the perfect addition for users of FOR-A’s HVS-300HS switcher or any of FOR-A’s Hanabi line of switchers. The LTG-50HS is a high-performance character generator that can superimpose camera titles, date and time, logos, and graphics on HD/SD-SDI video signals. “Built to perform and packed with features in a vibration-resistant 1 RU case, the VTW-330HS is an ideal CG for portable production systems and a great addition for those mobile event production application systems,” said Hiro Tanoue, president, FOR-A Corporation of America. “Our GenCG software makes it easy to produce multi-layer graphics using original artwork or templates.”

Images can be imported from Adobe Photoshop and other programs to create multi-layer graphics, plus still images can be captured from live HD/SD video for graphics as well. An auto-preview function allows the operator to instantly check the image over live video, while a thumbnail or list display allows confirmation of on-air and upcoming graphics.
