FOR-A to showcase broadcast and pro AV convergence

Japanese broadcast technology manufacturer to display software switcher and AI-powered production tools at ISE 2026

FOR-A, a video broadcast technology company with more than 50 years’ experience, will showcase production solutions at ISE 2026 (stand 5B600), demonstrating technologies designed to address challenges across live events, corporate communications, command and control environments and broadcast applications.

The company will display FOR-A MixBoard, a software-based switcher that received Best of Show recognition from FutureB2B’s TVBEurope at IBC 2024. The system features unlimited layering capability and is designed for corporate events, live presentations and hybrid production environments, according to the manufacturer.

FOR-A IMPULSE (Integrated Media Platform with UnLimited StructurE), winner of TV Tech Best of Show at NAB 2025, consolidates signal processing, multi-view, switching, graphics, audio mixing and media playback into reconfigurable software functions. FOR-A says the platform enables operators to adapt production workflows for corporate presentations, live events and broadcast applications, the company says.

viztrick AiDi, an on-device AI solution for live events, is designed to reduce technical workload whilst maintaining creative control. Operating without internet connectivity, the system processes video in real-time with low latency, according to FOR-A. NBC Sports has confirmed that viztrick AiDi can perform AI processing in real-time, with applications including automatic aspect ratio conversion for multi-platform content delivery.

The MFR-3100EX all-in-one production centre bridges SDI and IP workflows in a compact package, providing production flexibility for emergency response coordination, corporate crisis communications and live event environments.

FOR-A will also participate in an industry collaboration led by Dejero, alongside Alfalite, Brainstorm, Domo Broadcast Systems, KitPlus, Ontario Soluciones and RGB Spectrum. The showcase spans multiple booths (4N550, 4Q350 and 5B600), demonstrating an end-to-end critical connectivity ecosystem through live integrated demonstrations at 1pm and 4pm CET daily. At stand 5B600, FOR-A’s MFR-3100EX will be featured as part of an Emergency Operations Centre demonstration with RGB Spectrum’s IPX Flyaway Kit.

Fabio Varolo, sales manager at FOR-A Europe, said: “The convergence between broadcast and pro AV reflects a fundamental shift in how organisations approach video production. Whether you’re managing a corporate control room, producing a live event, coordinating emergency response, or broadcasting breaking news, the challenges are increasingly similar: you need flexible, reliable technology that adapts to your workflow rather than constraining it.”
