System Configuration Examples
The HVS-600HS can be custom-tailored to fit your specific application. Here are some examples of ways that the HVS-600HS can be used.
Compact Editing System The HD/SD-SDI I/O's provides a compact digital video switcher with up to 8 inputs and 5 outputs. If the editor interface is installed, the HVS-600HS can be fully utilized as an HD compatible compact editing system. When the up-converter feature is installed, SD contents can be used directly in HD editing. An analog output board can also be installed for output to consumer monitors for building a monitoring environment without high-priced monitors.
<Required Options for this system>
- HVS-60HSAO (HSAOA) x 1: Analog Output Card
- HVS-60FS x 1: FS/Still Store Card
- HVS-60UC x 1: Up Converter Card
- HVS-60ED x 1: Editor Interface Card

OB Van
The One-Box design with integrated main unit and operation unit enables installation even in the smallest of spaces. Because I/O's can be selected by the user, switcher upgrades are possible without wasting the equipment that you already have. By installing the frame synchronizer option direct input of video from not only asynchronous signal input devices, but also camcorders, STB, tuners, and other devices without external synchronization is possible. Even when not installed in an OB Van, the HVS-600HS is an ideal switcher for field productions that require mobility.
