The Panasonic AV-UHS500 Live Production Video Switcher features 4K/3G/HD multi-format support, the device allows the same number of HD inputs and outputs to be maintained even when operating in 4K. The AV-UHS500 4K Live Video Switcher demonstrates outstanding live video production performance in the field for use in a variety of applications, such as event staging, broadcast at stations and OB vans, lectures at universities and conference halls.
Five optional boards have also been developed to meet customer needs. For improved flexibility and usability, additional option boards can be freely installed to increase the number of inputs\, ensuring smooth operation at big events with a large number of cameras. The unit is equipped with 5 keyers, including 2ch of chroma-key and 2ch of PinP, to enable a variety of production effects. The switcher is also equipped with an up/down conversion function, HDR/SDR conversion function and ITU-R BT.2020/BT.709 conversion function. These enable the flexibility to select video output as needed in environments where there are a variety of formats being used.
12G-SDI/3G-SDI/HDMI Support
12G-SDI that can transmit 4K video with as single coaxial cable is supported as standard, and it provides easy setup and operation with high quality 4K video production. In addition, HDMI support allows direct input of data from a PC for live production such as during seminars and lectures without the need for a separate HDMI converter.
UHD/HD Multi-Format Support
Multiple 4K/3G/HD formats are supported, including 2160/59.94p and 1080/59.94p.
Frame Synchronizer for All Inputs
All input channels feature a built-in frame synchronizer. The Genlock function also supports synchronizing systems based on external sync signals (Black burst or Tri-level).
Built-in Conversion Functions
Various conversion functions are provided as standard. No external conversion box is required.
Versatile Transitions and Effects
In addition to standard wipe, mix, and cut transitions, a variety of DVE transitions patterns using two channels, such as reduce, slide, squeeze and 3D wipe are available in HD mode. DVE transitions can also be used in 4K by adding a 4K DVE Unit AV-UHS5M5G.
Five Keyers
A luminance key, linear key, chroma key, full key and PinP are provided for three channels, plus two channels of downstream key (DSK). Chroma keying employs the Primatte® algorithm, which is widely used as a plug-in for nonlinear editors. The same excellent Primatte® quality that is used worldwide for movies, TV programs, music videos and commercials is achieved by the live switcher's real time processing.
Video Memory
Two inputs in HD and one input in 4K for still (STILL) or video (CLIP) images can be saved and selected as bus footage. Moving images can be recorded and played back with key signals (with the 1080/59.94i format, approximately 120 seconds /3600 frames).
Four AUX Buses, DSK 1 and 2
Two PinP buses and four AUX buses are provided. Borders and software effects can be applied to the Pin P buses. In addition to cut transitions, the bus transition function (P in P and AUX buses transition effect) also enables mix transitions (AUX bus 1 and 2 only). Flexible support is achieved by combining AUX buses and M/E sections. DSK 1 and 2 can also be assigned to AUX 1 and 2.
Shot Memory
Up to 100 background transition patterns, PinP sizes, border widths and other video effects can be registered and recalled. Effect dissolve can be set to ensure smooth switching from the current image to the image or operation registered in the shot memory.
Event Memory
Up to 64 image effects in sequence can be registered and played back on a timeline using the event memory function. This allows highly expressive consecutive effects to be easily and smoothly executed. Up to 100 event memories can be registered.
Macro Memory
This function allows recording and playback of a series of operations on the Control Panel. It can also record and playback setting information, such as input/output and keyers, allowing video effects involving complicated operations to be executed easily. Macro memory playback is executed by assigning to the crosspoint buttons.
SDHC/SDXC Memory Card Slot
Video memory, shot memory data, event memory data, and setup data can be saved using an SDHC/SDXC* memory card.
PRO PTZ Camera Control Function
The PTZ camera control function enables 4K/HD Integrated Cameras to be controlled from the AV-UHS500.
Number of cameras controlled
8 cameras, standard / 16 cameras, maximum (with input from optional unit)
Camera controls
Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris, preset store, recall, scope, preset speed, AWB mode, AWB execution, paint, OSD menu
Two MultiViewer Functions
Two independent MultiViewer output functions are provided as standard, enabling the display of up to 16 split screens (a total of 10 patterns) on a single screen.
