Designed for modern live production, MixBoard breaks free from many of the limitations traditionally associated with hardware switchers.

Powered by ClassX technology, it combines the flexibility of software with the reliability and performance that FOR-A customers have come to expect. Supporting SDI, NDI, streaming sources, media files and complex visual compositions, MixBoard allows production teams to build sophisticated live productions with unprecedented creative freedom.

At its heart, MixBoard is designed around a simple principle: giving operators the power to create without constraints. Unlimited layering, advanced compositing, dynamic transitions, integrated media playback and intuitive control tools enable users to move beyond conventional switching and create rich, engaging visual experiences for audiences.

Whether used in broadcast studios, corporate environments, education, houses of worship, live events or streaming productions, MixBoard represents the next step in FOR-A's ongoing mission to provide technology that empowers creativity while simplifying production workflows.

After more than five decades of innovation, FOR-A continues to demonstrate that the future of live production isn't just about new technology it's about giving people better creative tools to free their imagination.

The FOR-A MixBoard gives operators the freedom to work the way they want to, whether that's with a traditional hardware control panel or directly through its touchscreen driven interface.

The ability to control switching, transitions, layers, and sources from a touchscreen device adds another level of versatility to live production environments, with touch displays offering an intuitive visual interface that feels immediately familiar. MixBoard's software defined design allows users to build layouts, trigger transitions, manage layers, and switch sources with simple touch interactions, while still offering the precision and confidence of dedicated controls for those who prefer them. Rather than replacing the traditional vision mixer experience, MixBoard expands it, creating a workflow that feels equally at home in modern streaming, live production, and broadcast environments.

• Compositor: A dynamic layout engine that allows users to build complex visual compositions, switch between scenes, and apply real-time effects with precision and creativity.

Output Types

Supports many types of output devices, such as AJA, Bluefish444, Blackmagic, NDI, IP2110 and many others.

Advanced Composition

Advanced DVE capabilities enable a wide range of transitions and effects. A great possibility to easily edit all layouts and add images, shapes, video input, logos, texts and much more.

Supported Resolutions

It best supports high-level resolutions such as 4K, 2K and HD, interlaced and progressive and all broadcast frame rates on all channels.

Advanced 3D Transitions

Advanced 3D capabilities enable a wide range of 3D transitions and 3D effects, for a spectacular and unique graphic result.

GUI

The GUI of MixBoard has been created for offering a completely innovative way of working. The former hardware limitations and complications of video switchers are overcome by the flexibility of the software approach to mixing video inputs.

THE COMPOSITOR: Create custom Multiviews and PIP positions

With MixBoard, you can design and save complex layouts using unlimited layers, giving you full creative freedom for your productions. Effortlessly interpolate between video input positions to achieve smooth transitions and dynamic scene changes. Switching between layouts is as simple as a single click, enabling fast-paced, professional-grade control during live events.

Enhance your visuals with animated texts, shapes, and images to captivate your audience. An intuitive control surface makes recalling and managing your setups seamless, ensuring precision and efficiency at every stage of your workflow.

THE MIXCOMPOSITOR: Enhance production capabilities with advanced switching

MixBoard offers seamless switching between up to 24 Video Inputs (8 in compact configurations), supported by an intuitive GUI designed for fast, reliable live operation. Beyond the main switching panel, it features a powerful MixCompositor Video Input, which can perform the same switching functions (CUT, FADE and advanced transitions) from within Multiview layouts and compositions.

This unique capability allows you to change a single window of a Multi-PIP or Multiview with full transition effects, whilst the entire layout remains on-air. With support for 3D transitions and layered compositions, the system delivers highly dynamic, flexible and visually refined broadcast workflows.

Audio

The SoundFlex audio mixing feature within MixBoard supports up to eight audio input tracks, which can be independently mapped and mixed on four L+R mixed main tracks. Each one of up to four MixBoard independent output channels can be assigned with one or more of the four mixed main tracks. An intuitive SoundFlex Controller window can be optionally used for mixing during live productions.
