FOR-A Latin America, Inc., a division of FOR-A Corp., has sold two VPS-715 Ginga switchers through VideoMedia (Santiago, Chile). VideoMedia, worked with FOR-A to integrate a switcher at Camara de Diputados House of Representatives TV network.

Camara de Diputados' main objective is to broadcast sessions of the Chilean Parliament, commission meetings, press conferences, activities of the presidency and cultural sessions. Deputy Sessions are aired live throughout the day.

The second VPS-715 has been installed into a mobile unit designed by VideoMedia for Accionmedia Television. Accionmedia's mobile unit is equipped with five Hitachi triax version cameras with Canon lenses as well as connections for two additional cameras. Accionmedia's Mobile Unit provides mobile production services to a variety of companies such as Air Channel TV, Cable Channel TV, Producers of TV, and other companies.

"VideoMedia's reputation and extensive experience in the market are first rate. The fact that they have selected our equipment for their clients is a major testament to our product quality and reliability. We expect a long fruitful relationship with them in this region."
