FOR-A introducing sports-friendly 4K extraction system

The recent IBC show in Amsterdam saw FOR-A debut ZE-ONE, its new 4K extraction system for use with the FT-ONE 4K super-slow motion camera. The solution allows FT-ONE users to frame and extract desired 4K image areas to capture the action for HD replays.

Ideal for live sports production, the 4K extraction system provides operators with an intuitive touch-screen interface to frame and extract specified HD scenes at any size from 4K sources. ZE-ONE allows users to smoothly zoom in or out, and includes an embedded audio delay processor.

The system has already received major recognition in the form of a Best of IBC award from TVBEurope magazine in the acquisition and workflow category.

“After introducing the FT-ONE last year, we decided to develop our own 4K extraction system that allows users to isolate and enlarge certain areas within frames,” says Hiro Tanoue, FOR-A Corporation of America’s president. “Operators can focus in on any part of any scene, ensuring not a moment is missed when shooting with the FT-ONE. We’re proud that ZE-ONE has been recognized by TVBEurope as a stand-out, new technology.”
