AW-HS50
Compact Live Switcher
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.
