Introducing the AV-HS400A with new and enhanced capabilities!

Multi-format HD/SD Compatibility for Worldwide Use

Compatibility with various HD/SD formats will help you meet changing production
needs as video moves towards HD on a global scale. The AV-HS400A lets you up-
convert and mix SD signals with HD, to provide an easy transition to full HD
production. The AV-HS400A is compatible with virtually all common input devices.

Built-in Frame Synchronizers for Versatile Operation

Each input features a built-in 10-bit Frame Synchronizer for smooth switching, even with asynchronous sources,
such as DVDs or satellite feeds. Reference (black burst) signal outputs are provided to enable synchronization
with external systems. The main unit and control panel are integrated in a compact body, ideal for small studios and
mobile production.
