Hires Joe Paryzek as Director of Solutions Development at For-A America
For-A America, a leading provider of video and audio solutions, is set to make waves in the industry with their latest focus on software-defined broadcast workflows. This shift towards IP-based technologies is evident in their flagship product, the FOR-A MixBoard, a software-based video switcher that has been making headlines for its innovative features and intuitive interface.
The FOR-A MixBoard, powered by ClassX technology, allows for unlimited layering and complex multi-layer compositions that were previously challenging for hardware switchers. This year, the company plans to demonstrate enhanced capabilities of the MixBoard at IBC 2025.
In a move to strengthen their customer relations, For-A America has welcomed Joe Paryzek to their team. Paryzek, who started working at For-A America on Jan. 6 and is based in Atlanta, brings a wealth of experience in engineering, customer service, and system design creation. He has previously worked at systems integration firm Diversified and Grass Valley, where he honed his skills in pre-sale technical support.
Paryzek's role at For-A includes key account management and customer communications, making him a valuable resource for the company's customers. He is excited to discuss For-A's recent solutions with broadcasters, live event producers, and systems integrators. Paryzek has also expressed eagerness to get feedback from end users on how the technology can improve their operations and what new upgrades they'd like to see.
While the specific role of Paryzek in the development of For-A’s IP-based or software-defined solutions is not documented in the available sources, it is clear that his expertise will be instrumental in shaping the future of For-A America's product offerings.
For-A America's President and Chief Operating Officer, Satoshi Kanemura, stated that Paryzek will be a valuable resource for their customers. The company's focus on software-defined broadcast workflows is aimed at providing broadcasters with future-ready, scalable, and creatively flexible production tools.
Last year, For-A America introduced several significant products, including HiRDS, STMPE ST 2210 resource-sharing software, MixBoard, and significant updates to SOAR-A (its software-based live production ecosystem). They also showcased bridge technologies such as the FA-1616 multichannel processor and SOAR-A Edge IP transport appliances, both enabling a flexible SDI-to-IP live production workflow.
With the addition of Joe Paryzek to their team, For-A America is well-positioned to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of broadcast technology.
