AW-HS50E
Five inputs and three outputs
Built-in multi-viewer displays
Audio level meter display function
AUX bus with transition
The AW-HS50E is a powerful, sub-compact, multi-format live HD/SD switcher for mobile production, AV facilities and event video.
It features 10-bit processing, four HD/SD-SDI inputs and one HD DVI-D input, as well as a built-in multi-viewer, chroma keyer, Aux bus, 1080/29.94PsF support. In addition to input, there are two HD/SD-SDI outputs and one scalable DVI-D output. Other standard features include an on-screen display (OSD) for viewing switcher settings, GPI input, camera tally outputs, an ethernet control interface, 4-pin XLR 12VDC input, and an AUX bus for a versatile production workflow.
The built-in multi-viewer allows users to view four, nine, or 10 images on a single display – significantly reducing the cost, size, and weight of a complete HD production system. The adjustable multi-viewer outputs can also be used to provide a multi-image large-screen presentation display. Other advanced functions include dedicated hardware for picture-in-picture (PinP) with dissolve transitions, switchable up-conversion, colour correction, a chroma/linear keyer plus a downstream keyer (DSK), auto or manual video transitions, wipe and PinP preset memories, and frame memories.
As a key component in Panasonic’s first complete Internet Protocol (IP) production system, the AW-HS50E also offers an IP link to the new AW-RP50E remote camera controller. This link enables remote switching of the remote controlled camera video on the AW-HS50E’s AUX bus, and other unique functions The AW-HS50E has built-in, switchable 10-bit frame synchronizers on each input, ensuring reliable, glitch-free switching even with non-synchronous sources such as remote camera feeds, small camcorders, and computer graphics.
