AW-HS50 (AW-HS50N, AW-HS50E) Compact Live Switcher HD 1080/59.94i, 50i, 24PsF, 23.98PsF, 720/59.94p, 50p SD 480/59.94i, 576/50i This is a half-rack size digital video switcher. In spite of its compact size, it features four SDI inputs, one DVI-D input, two SDI outputs, and one DVI-D output. A MultiViewer Display function lets you split the screen in eight different ways, and a Frame Synchronizer ensures easy, high-quality switching. By combining the AW-HS50 with the AW-HE50S HD Integrated Camera and AW-RP50 Remote Camera Controller, a space-saving, low-cost HD image production system can be configured for business use. Five Inputs/Three Outputs • Five inputs: Four SDI inputs and one DVI-D input come standard. • Three outputs: Two SDI outputs and one DVI-D output come standard. HD/SD Multi-Format The AW-HS50 supports a variety of HD/SD formats, including 1080/24PsF, as standard. System frequency is 59.94 Hz/50 Hz/24 Hz switchable. This makes it ideal for digital cinema production and worldwide operation. Frame Synchronizers on All Inputs A Frame Synchronizer is embedded in all inputs. This enables asynchronous video signals to be switched without glitches. Up-Converter, Dot by Dot and Video Processing The AW-HS50 is equipped with an SD/HD up-converter function for two inputs (SDI IN 3/SDI IN 4), and a dot by dot function that can be used for P-in-P display of HD images from SD footage without degradation. A video processing function with brightness, pedestal level, saturation, and color phase correction is also provided for four inputs. Versatile Effect Functions • Transitions: 13 wipe patterns and mixes. • The built-in key function lets you select from linear, luminance and chroma keying. • One P-in-P bus and one Aux bus are included. A Bus transition function (P-in-P bus and Aux bus switching effect) enables Mix transitions. Frame Memory (2 Screens) Two 8 bit still images can be saved in Frame Memory, and used as bus footage. The still images can also be transferred from a PC over a LAN network. Simple and Flexible Control Buttons Five crosspoint buttons in each A bus and B bus (for a maximum of 10 with the Shift function), a Cut button, a P-in-P button, a Key button and an FTB button allow direct control with this simple panel layout. A slide lever also provides easy control of transitions, P-in-P, and Key Fade In/Out. Various functions can also be assigned to two user buttons (for a maximum of four with the Shift function) for one-touch operation. 11
