HD/SD 1M/E - 2M/E Video Switcher
HVS-390HS
The New HANABI Unveiled
The 1M/E HVS-300HS revolutionized the world of compact video switchers in 2008. In 2010, the 1.5M/E HVS-350HS switcher continued that trend, with its enhanced functionality and increased performance. The advancement of the HANABI series continues to this day. In 2012, we continue the evolution of the switcher. The new HVS-390HS video switcher will come in 1M/E or 2M/E configuration. This switcher is more powerful and easier to use, while maintaining all of the highly acclaimed functionality of the HVS-300 series. The evolution of the HANABI series continues.
