Before use
p w Overview
This unit is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a
multiple number of 4K, 3G and HD formats.
The 12G-SDI-compatible AV-UHS500 4K live switcher has
basic functions that rival those in larger high-end switchers,
making available to you the same operability you would use
for producing HD video when you produce 4K video. With
its excellent portability, the all-in-one main unit can easily
be transported for use at a variety of live music, sport, and
entertainment events.
Furthermore, along with compatibility with multiple formats
(4K, 3G, and HD), the addition of optional units makes it
possible to expand to a maximum of 16 SDI inputs, enabling
smooth operation even at events with a large number of
cameras.
The keyers, which enable a variety of program production
techniques, are equipped with a total of five keyers including
two channels for chroma keys and two channels of PinP.
Furthermore, you are able to flexibly select video output to
match your purposes, even when you have scenes using
different formats, using features such as the up/down
converters, HDR/SDR converters, and the ITU-R BT.2020/
BT.709 converters.
We have endeavored to make the product useful in a variety
of portable applications, such as special event venues,
broadcast vehicles, at university or company presentations,
etc., and of course inside broadcasters themselves. This 4K
live switcher really exhibits its high performance capabilities
when it produces living images on location.
