The Panasonic AV-HS410 HD/SD Multi-Format Live Video Switcher is an HD/SD-selectable 1ME Switcher incorporating a host of inputs and outputs, effects, and system expandability into its compact, 19 types, half-rack size. It provides versatile effects, including transitions with digital video effects and Primatte® chroma keying. New video memory, Memory Preview, enhanced MultiViewer functions, and a button layout that is designed to simplify live relay operation.

The High-quality Primatte chroma-keying and versatile transitions. It employs the Primatte algorithm, which is widely used as a plug-in for non-linear editors. Moreover, you can enhance your MultiViewer Display with up to 16 splits allows for 9 screen variations, a clock, a level meter, and a 4:3 marker display. The switcher's Video Memory function allows playback of 2x channels of still images or video, while the Memory Preview function offers previews of shot memory and event memory image effects. The AV-HS410 supports Plug-in API functionality for external control, external camera control, the output of status data. There is a control panel with extra button control, a numeric keypad and so more. This feature will facilitate your workflow.

AV-HS410 Features:

  • High-End Performance and Functions
  • Super Expandable 1ME Switcher
  • HD/SD Multi-Format with 9 Inputs Standard, 13 Inputs Maximum

Different Options
The AV-HS410 is compact and versatile with nine inputs standard (eight HD-SDI, one scaleable HD DVI-D) and is expandable using option boards to a maximum of 13 HD/SD switchable signal inputs. Five HD-SDI and one DVI-D output are also standard with option boards enabling expansion to a maximum of 10 outputs. Two expansion slots allow the simultaneous use of up to two AV-HS04M Series dual-channel input or output boards.

Get on the AUX Bus
Four AUX busses are provided to enable versatile production workflow, with mix transitions available on AUX1. Dual PinP (with transition memories), one DSK, and an upstream keyer with a 3D flying key and Primatte® Chroma key capabilities are also provided. Numerous high-quality 3D and 2D effects are available for transitions for both background and key. All input channels feature a built-in switchable frame synchronizer, while upconverters are available for four channels and 16-axis color correction for the eight standard HD-SD/SDI inputs. The HS410's system frequency is switchable among 60Hz, 50Hz, and 24Hz, enabling international operation and digital cinema style live switching.

Simple Operation 
The HS410's user-friendly interface is distinguished by the 7" WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) color LCD monitor that in addition to displaying settings and menus can show input and output video, waveform monitor readings, and even the Multiviewer display. MultiViewer configurations include assignable screen divisions into 4/5/6/9/10/16 sections and support the display of time, audio level meters, and 4:3 markers. The switcher's simple panel layout features dedicated buttons for many common functions such as PinP 1/2, as well as A bus and B bus rows with 12 crosspoint buttons (22 with shift function) allowing easy access to a variety of internal and external sources.

Get Custom with It
Advanced features include dual-channel video/still clip player/recorders, 100 event memories, Effect Preview (for offline viewing of programmed effects), timeline editing and customizable Plug-in programs for external device control, and many other applications. An SDK (Software Development Kit) is available from Panasonic to enable the creation of powerful custom Plug-in programs.

LAN

RJ-45 x 1 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (For IP control) Connecting cable: LAN cable (category 5 or above), max. 100 m (328 ft), STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable recommended

When connecting to a hub (switching hub), use a straight cable. Use a crossover cable when connecting the unit and computer on a 1:1 basis without going through a hub. 

Use with the same segment is recommended for the equipment which is connected to the unit. If the unit is connected to equipment whose segments are different, events dependent upon the settings inherent to the network equipment, for instance, may occur so thoroughly check the connections with the equipment to which the unit will be connected prior to the start of operation.

Video Delay Time

line (H) When the frame synchronizer setting is “Off” and the up-converter setting is “Off”. 1 frame (F) When the frame synchronizer setting is “On” or the up-converter setting is “On”.

When the signals have passed through PinP, DVE, multi view, down-converter, DVI-IN or DVI-OUT, a maximum delay of 1 frame is applied in each case.

Other BOOT switch [SV/NM (service/normal)] (for maintenance purposes) Normally, this switch is used as the “NM” position.
