Characteristics
Compact design
The unit features a compact design with its half-
rack size width (210 mm [8-1/4˝]) and its 4RU size
(177 mm [6-15/16˝]) depth.
The AW-RP50 remote camera controller (option)
also has the same size. When it is placed alongside
the unit, the two units are housed in the full rack
width.
Multiple formats supported
The signal formats supported by the unit
include both HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i,
1080/24PsF, 1080/23.98PsF, 720/59.94p and
720/50p) and SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i).
Five input systems and three output systems
featured
The unit comes with four SDI input connectors
(SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4) and one DVI-D input
connector (DVI IN).
It also comes with two SDI output connectors
(SDI OUT 1 and SDI OUT 2) and one DVI-D output
connector (DVI OUT).
Frame synchronizer system
A frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the
inputs so that asynchronous video signals can be
selected with no accompanying shocks.
2-channel up-converter, 4-channel Dot by Dot
function and 4-channel video process function
An up-converter is incorporated in SDI IN 3 and
SDI IN 4.
A Dot by Dot function is incorporated for all the SDI
input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4).
By using this function and the PinP function
together, SD materials can be embedded in HD
images with no deterioration in the image quality.
The video process function is incorporated in all the
SDI input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 4) to make
it possible to adjust the colors at the input stage of
the switcher.
Multi view display function
One channel is provided for the multi view display
function.
The user can select whether the screen is to be
split into 10, 9, 6, 5 or 4 sections.
On each split screen, the user can assign PGM,
PVW, AUX or other materials in addition to input
materials.
Many different effect functions provided
The unit enables the user to select wipe or mix as
the type of background transition.
A 1-channel keyer function is provided. The user
can select linear keys, luminance keys or chroma
keys as the key type.
One PinP channel and one AUX bus system are
available.
The user can choose not only cut transitions
but also mix transitions as the effect yielded for
switching materials using the PinP bus and AUX
bus. (Bus transition function)
2-channel frame memory (8 bits)
The user can select the still images stored in the
frame memory as the bus material.
Still images can be transferred from the host
computer, which is connected to the unit via a LAN,
to the frame memories.
Audio level meter display function
This function enables the level of the embedded
audio signals transferred by SDI input to be
displayed.
