This 1M/E live switcher has a separate mainframe and control panel, and comes standard with 16 SDI inputs, four SDI outputs, and
two DVI outputs. It also features a variety of standard effect functions, including luminance and chroma keying, two DSK channels,
two P-in-P buses, and two DVE channels. Ideal for medium-scale, multi-camera, on-air transmission and recording for broadcast
studios, OB vans and image production applications. Addition of the optional AV-HS04M7D 3D SDI Output Board also enables 3D
compatibility for switching effects such as wipes and mixes. And it features a number of display functions for 3D camera assist use.
16 Standard Inputs/Six Standard Outputs
(Max. 20 Inputs/10 Outputs)
The AV-HS450 comes standard with 16 SDI (HD/SD) inputs and
six outputs (four SDI (HD/SD) and two DVI-D). Two expansion
slots accommodate either input or output optional boards,
providing a maximum of 20 inputs,*
1
and 10 outputs.*

*1: When using two AV-HS04M1, M2, M6, or M8 Input Boards.
*2: When using two AV-HS04M4 or M7 Output Boards.
HD/SD Multi-Format Support
The AV-HS450 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. A wide range of optional
boards also allows the input and output of analog component and
various other signals.
(Please see the table on page 10 for details.)
* 1080/24PsF (or 23.98PsF) input signals are supported only by the standard input terminals
of the AV-HS450. These signals are not supported by the optional AV-HS04M1/M2/M3/M4/
M5/M6/M7/M7D/M8 boards.
Built-in Frame Synchronizer for All Input Channels
All standard input channels feature a built-in frame synchronizer for
use in switching unsynchronized video signals. A gen-lock
function also supports synchronizing systems based on external
sync signals (black burst or tri-level).
Up-Converter, Dot by Dot and Video Processing
The AV-HS450 is equipped with an SD/HD up-converter function
for four standard inputs, and a dot by dot function for 16 inputs.
Dot by dot input can be used for P-in-P display of HD images
from SD footage without degradation. A video processing
function with color correction is also provided for eight inputs.
Four Aux Buses and Two P-in-P
Two P-in-P buses and four Aux buses are included. Borders and
soft-edge effects can be applied to the P-in-P buses. In addition
to a Cut transition, the Bus transition function (P-in-P bus and
Aux bus* switching effect) also enables a Mix transition (Aux 1
only). Flexible operation is achieved by combining Aux buses and
M/E sections.
* Embedded audio on SDI input signals can be passed through PGM, PVM, and MV.
