Panasonic AW-HS50N operating instructions Characteristics

Characteristics

Compact design

 The unit features a compact design with its half- rack size width (210 mm [8-1/4˝]) and its 4RU size (177 mm [6-15/16˝]) depth.

The AW-RP50 remote camera controller (option) also has the same size. When it is placed alongside the unit, the two units are housed in the full rack width.

Multi view display function

 One channel is provided for the multi view display function.

The user can select whether the screen is to be split into 10, 9, 6, 5 or 4 sections.

 On each split screen, the user can assign PGM, PVW, AUX or other materials in addition to input materials.

Multiple formats supported

 The signal formats supported by the unit include both HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/24PsF, 1080/23.98PsF, 720/59.94p and 720/50p) and SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i).

Five input systems and three output systems featured

 The unit comes with four SDI input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4) and one DVI-D input connector (DVI IN).

 It also comes with two SDI output connectors (SDI OUT 1 and SDI OUT 2) and one DVI-D output connector (DVI OUT).

Frame synchronizer system

 A frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the inputs so that asynchronous video signals can be selected with no accompanying shocks.

2-channel up-converter, 4-channel Dot by Dot function and 4-channel video process function  An up-converter is incorporated in SDI IN 3 and

SDI IN 4.

 A Dot by Dot function is incorporated for all the SDI input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4).

By using this function and the PinP function together, SD materials can be embedded in HD images with no deterioration in the image quality.

 The video process function is incorporated in all the SDI input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4) to make it possible to adjust the colors at the input stage of the switcher.

Many different effect functions provided

 The unit enables the user to select wipe or mix as the type of background transition.

 A 1-channel keyer function is provided. The user can select linear keys, luminance keys or chroma keys as the key type.

 One PinP channel and one AUX bus system are available.

The user can choose not only cut transitions but also mix transitions as the effect yielded for switching materials using the PinP bus and AUX bus. (Bus transition function)

2-channel frame memory (8 bits)

 The user can select the still images stored in the frame memory as the bus material.

 Still images can be transferred from the host computer, which is connected to the unit via a LAN, to the frame memories.

Audio level meter display function

 This function enables the level of the embedded audio signals transferred by SDI input to be displayed.
