FOR-A announces that it has become a distributor of Fujitsu’s high-performance encoders and decoders in North America. Used by top North American broadcasters, the Fujitsu IP series of H.264 video encoders and decoders became available for purchase through FOR-A in October.

“FOR-A is proud to partner with Fujitsu to offer their well respected encoder and decoder solutions in North America,” said Hiro Tanoue, President of FOR-A Corporation of America.

The Fujitsu IP series of video encoders and decoders use advanced MPEG-4 AVC technology encoding, known as H.264, to perform real-time transmission of HDTV at low bit rates over DVB and broadband IP networks. Employing the latest compression tools and image processing algorithms to provide best-in-class video fidelity, Fujitsu IP-920 encoder/decoder equipment is capable of operating at less than 99ms back-to-back latency. With robust error correction using Fujitsu proprietary technologies, broadcast quality video can be sent over public Internet connections. The compact solutions are ideal for HD/SD content delivery use in broadcast, enterprise and government applications.

Models available for sale through FOR-A include the Fujitsu IP-920 and the award-winning IP-9500 HD/SD video encoder/decoder. Both solutions feature robust error correction, a low latency mode, real-time transmission, and high-fidelity HDTV/SDTV video.
