All-in-One

AWS-G500 is light and conveniently portable, while combining video switching and audio mixing functions with video monitor and camera control, to provide an inclusive package for live content generation. Whereas previously it was necessary to assemble various devices, this is no longer necessary, and the time and effort required to install, connect, and adjust the equipment has been greatly reduced.

Video Switching

•You can switch among up to six video inputs: analog, DV, SDI (when using a serial digital interface module), and RGB.

•The system provides both mix (dissolve) and wipe transition effects, Picture-in-Picture for combining videos, and luminance keying functions.

•Before carrying out a switching operation, you can preview the next selected image in the PVW viewer.

•You can mix video using a maximum of five effects at one time, such as incorporating (keying) a separate video clip when switching between two video clips with a wipe or other transition effect, as well as superimposing text (downstream key) and displaying a copyright logo.

Text Typing Tool Software

The system includes installed text typing tool software, which allows easy creation of titles. Titles created with the text typing tool software can be used in the DSK (downstream key) or as luminance keys.

Audio Mixing

You can mix up to six audio inputs. Each channel is provided with a range of functions, including fader, input trim, filter equalizer, limiter, and compressor pan (balance), allowing the sound quality and level to be adjusted on each channel separately.

In addition, each channel has a prefader listen function, allowing you to monitor the input audio before any effects are applied by the fader, and each output has a delay function to correct any discrepancies between the audio and video timing.

Remote Camera Control

•Using a camera with VISCA support, you can remotely control the camera movements, including panning, tilting, and zoom.

•The camera preset function allows you to store camera pan, tilt, and zoom settings. Using the camera preset function, you can immediately set the camera to the preset state when required just by pressing a button.
