AW-HN130 HD Professional PTZ Camera with NDI®|HX

AW-HN130 DISCONTINUED

The AV-HS450 HD/SD video switcher offers a greater value than any other in its class. The two-rack-sized HS450 switcher comes standard with 16 HD/SD-SDI inputs (expandable to 20 with optional I/O boards), four HD/SD-SDI outputs and two DVI-D outputs. The switcher incorporates full 10-bit HD processing for maximum picture quality, and accepts optional boards for additional up-conversion, down-conversion, and scaling of many video formats. This high-performance switcher is a flexible, economical solution for mid-size studios, mobile vehicles, and mobile production systems.

The HS450's built-in dual-display Multi-Viewer lets you display up to 20 different images on two monitors (up to 16 on one screen), eliminating the need for a rack full of expensive monitors. Additional standard features include four independent AUX busses, up-conversion on 4 inputs and full-color correction on 8 others, dual Picture-In-Picture display, two downstream keyers, a very high-quality chroma key, dual 3D DVE's, shot and PiP memories, and much more.
