When it comes to program delivery, the AWS-G500E is also very flexible. Straight from the AWS-G500E, the user can feed programs to a TV transmitter for live broadcast, record onto tape, feed the switched program output directly to large venue displays, store input sources and a PGM output to external hard disk drives, and stream the program on the web on a live or on-demand basis.

The AWS-G500E also includes beneficial Text Typing Tool software as standard, which allows operators to easily generate still text for superimposition on the program output.

With all these unique features, plus a logical design for ultimate ease of use, the AWS-G500E combined with a wide range of optional modules is a powerful tool that can be used by anyone, anytime, and anywhere - for remote television broadcast operations, church productions, product promotions, event and live staging, music clip creation, conferences, seminars, and distance learning.
