CNBC has chosen FOR-A color correctors and multi viewers for its new 30,000 square-foot world headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. FOR-A Corporation of America recently supplied CNBC with 18 DCC-700 MU Digital Color Correctors for use in three large production control rooms -- two slated for live programming and one for studio production. The DCC-700 MU units will be used to color correct incoming program and live feeds from six main stages in the new three-story, tapeless network facility. In addition, FOR-A color correctors will be used to balance the color on live video projection systems used as backgrounds on live sets.
In order to easily view multiple images, CNBC also purchased two FOR-A MV-94 Multi Viewers and four MV-40F quad splitters. These will be used within the network’s internal 125-channel master antenna system that allows anyone in the facility to view on-air channels and studio outputs. The FOR-A products will enable some monitors to display multiple images

The FOR-A DCC-700 MU Color Corrector is a digital I/O system offering balanced, differential, or sepia color enhancement of all types of video signals. It includes separate or group control of R, G, B, white, and black levels plus gamma for each component. It provides separate control of Y&C white clip and Y black clip, processing presets, GPI auto recall presets during multiple source operations, and (optional) simultaneous control of up to 4 DCC-700 units. FOR-A’s MV-94 Multi Viewer is housed in a compact 1 RU box that accepts nine color or B/W asynchronous composite inputs.
The unit offers two independent selectable outputs; full screen display of one input, quad split of any 4 inputs, or nine-split of all cameras. A built-in character generator is also included, with the capability to input one fixed position title line of up to 4 characters. Settings are easily menu made and protected if power is lost. The MV-94 reliably displays real-time or freeze frame images.
