Broadcast & Professional Video

The main unit is equipped with an abundance of inputs and outputs for great system integration that includes 32 SDI and 2 DVI inputs plus 16 SDI outputs. 4 DVEs per ME enable diverse transitions when producing creative video in demanding fast-paced situations. Three types of control panels can be used. C1 and C2 panels offer 24 XPT buttons and 4 pages and allow easy switching among 96 total crosspoints. The compact panel C4 is 30% shorter than the C1/C2 version and offers an easier integration into small studios and OB Vans.

The 4K Live Switcher is easy to use in a variety of applications, such as event staging, broadcast at stations and OB vans, lectures at universities, conference halls and so on, demonstrating incredible performance in live video production on the field.

With this NDI I/F Unit attached, the Live Switcher AV-UHS500 supports input and output via the high quality, low latency video transmission of NDI®* and the stable, low bit rate transmission of NDI®|HX*. This enables the construction of IP streaming systems covering operations from video transmission to camera control using a single LAN cable and supports remote live video production at sports and other event venues.* In this instance, NDI® is used to indicate low latency with high bandwidth NDI®, NDI®|HX is used to indicate high efficiency low bandwidth NDI®|HX. NDI® is a new protocol developed by NewTek, Inc. that supports IP video production workflow. NDI® is a registered trademark of NewTek, Inc. in the United States.

The “Kairos Control” panel is available in two models: 24XPT standard layout (AT-KC10C1) and 12XPT compact layout (AT-KC10C2).* The panels allow functions to be assigned freely. Indicators show the functions assigned to individual buttons. Multi-scene operation is supported with two ME layouts and two faders. Multiple panels can be used simultaneously within a single system.

IT/IP Platform "KAIROS" achieves higher performance by fully utilizing the power and flexibility of its CPU and GPU, balancing total processing load without the configuration constraints of traditional hardware based systems. KAIROS offers unrestricted flexibility of input, output and operation for efficient production of expressive live videos

Software platform to manage media smartly and expand your creativity. Integration of software realize effective operation. Easy to add various extensive function on one software platform.

The Software Control Panel enables a networked PCor tablet connected to the AV-HSW10 main unit to be used for diverse operations and configurations. Both inputs and outputs can be easily confirmed on the Multiviewer screen for intuitive operation. Combination of the AV-HSW10 with a PC or tablet loaded with the Software Control Panel enables workload sharing and remote operation on location. Intuitive operation minimizes setup time for certain configurations, increasing the efficiency of video recording, production and single-operator transmission.
