Panasonic Compact Live Switcher AW-HS50

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.
