Enhanced shot memory and PinP memory

for streamlined operation.

You can store up 10 memorized image states for background transition
pattern, PinP size, position and border width. The switcher is also equipped
with an effect dissolve function*2. These enhanced memory functions enable
a smoother and more intuitive production workflow.

Standard configuration includes dedicated

hardware for 2 DSK and 2 PinP channels.

The built-in upstream keyer includes luminance and chroma key functions.
The HS450 chroma keyer employs the powerful Primatte algorithm,
previously only available for use with high-end non-linear editing systems.
Widely used in motion picture and TV production, incorporation of Primatte's
algorithm into the HS450 now provides easy to adjust, high-precision
compositing technology for live production. In addition, the switcher comes
equipped with dedicated hardware for 2 DSK and 2 independent channels of
picture-in-picture.

other creative transitions. Useful new effects include variable mosaic and
selectable defocus.
