Flexible video input configurations
The AWS-G500E has three slots for optional modules located
on the rear panel.
A variety of optional interface modules ranging from SD to HD
are available, allowing users to configure the system exactly as
required.
What’s more, the AWS-G500E allows each input on these
modules to be assigned to any one of the primary inputs via
simple menu settings.
SD/HD mixed operations
The AWS-G500E can handle SD and HD signals simultaneously,
which characterizes it as a highly versatile system.
For PGM output, three types of aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 SD, and 16:9
HD mode) are provided. For SD/HD mixed operation in 16:9 SD
mode, it is possible to record PGM output onto an external HDD
connected to the AWS-G500E via the BKAW-570 SD Video Module
or BKAW-580 SD-SDI Video Module.
