Video Switcher HVS-190S/190I

Introducing HVS-190S/190I, a portable 1 M/E video switcher that builds on the features of the capable and popular HVS-490. Take advantage of remote control for off-site event management, and add an HVS-NIF card for NDI connectivity in a highly reliable mixed SDI/IP system. Includes frame synchronization, resizing, 2.5D wipes and other DVEs, chroma keying, FLEXaKEYTM, and more.

The HVS-190S and HVS-190I also have a built-in Web server that lets you change settings from a PC or a tablet. A clip memory feature has been added to the still store to support playback of video or animations and enhances productions through the use of CG wipes, while the multi-viewer meets a diverse range of monitoring needs. The equipment can be used in all types of locations, including live events, sports, news studios, OB vans, editorial offices and presentation venues, making it the ideal tool for shaping the imaginative your ideas.

2 models are available: 1 with separate main unit and control panel, and 1 with compact, integrated design, both of which can be adapted to a wide variety of applications and operation configurations.
Frame sync and proc amp functionality is provided for all inputs, with safety markers for each output. The HDMI port supports audio output, and, as a 2.0b port, HD or 4K output, with the latter enabling display of HD images in 4 quadrants. Expand input or output for either model with a variety of optional I/O cards.

HVS-NIF interface cards provide NDI High Bandwidth connectivity for high-quality, low-latency video transmission and NDI HX2 for low bit rate transmission. The cards make it easy to build a mixed baseband/IP system you can use to exchange video and audio over a network with other NDI equipment. This is extremely effective for live video production -whether you are shooting remotely or enjoying easy streaming from computers connected via NDI.

• Mixed SDI/NDI Production
  Video feeds with both on-site and remote performers can be sent to the switcher along with computer content. In addition to the PGM bus, provides an ample selection of Aux buses (12) that can be used to send any video back to remote talent.
• SDI/IP Simulcasts
  Simultaneously with SDI playout, connect to streaming sites via a MoIP stream, enabling mixed or coordinated broadcasts of both sources.

The following outlines combinations of input/output cards that can be used in the HVS-190S/190I slots.
Refer to Options for details of cards.

Every input is fitted with frame synchronizers that enable switching of synchronous and asynchronous video signals. Installation of optional expansion cards supports asynchronous picture input from PCs, etc. Each input is also equipped with a process amplifier capable of adjusting the video level and chroma level, etc. of the input signal. Furthermore, each output is equipped with safety marker function*.

4K resolution is supported in HDMI 2.0 Level-B output. Can be used to monitor 4 images on 1 screen.

Play back clips with audio. Sound effects can be mixed on switched videos using CG-Wipe effects. To utilize this function, download the audio data to the HVS-190S/190I in advance.

Add the HVS-49AES Digital Audio I/O Card for 4 AES inputs and 4 outputs. Mux audio to PGM output, or demux audio from any input.

Support for up to 64 channels of Dante audio input/output per card with optional HVS-DNT. Support for redundancy with primary connector and secondary connector. Provides 2 BNCs and expansion up to 2 channels by switching between SDI input/output. By remapping Dante audio inputs, HVS-DNT can output Dante audio as SDI output or use as input source of video switcher. Available gain adjustment, tone signal output, and audio delay setting when using SDI signal.

Includes 2 keyers and 4 FLEXaKEYs, enabling linear/luminance-based keying. Keyer gain, clip level, and transparency adjustment is supported, with edge* and mask functions also provided.
FLEXaKEY can be assigned to either the M/E PGM, M/E PST or an AUX output. As we also include the ability to mix on an Aux crosspoint selection, the Aux outputs can effectively and creatively be used to do away with the need for multiple M/Es, when creating different outputs for different screens or feeds at a live venue.

An advanced, high-quality 1 chroma keyer that can be assigned to any keyer or FLEXaKEY. Enables full-featured compositing without stand-alone units. Without using fill/key signal output or keyer/FLEXaKEY functionality, users can create composite images by chroma keying the chosen input as a source for the M/E row.

Provides 4 freely assignable 2.5D DVEs.* Configure enlargement, reduction, rotation, borders, and other settings for each channel composited. Also available for background transitions.

Transitions include wipe, mix, cut, full/non-additive mix, and others. Features 100 wipe patterns as well as 2.5D DVE wipes such as rotate and reposition. Used with clip memory, this enables wipe transitions created on a computer to be used without relying on keyer functionality. 2 sub-effects* can also be applied, such as negative, mosaic, defocus, mono, freeze, or paint.

Choose from cut, mix, or wipe transitions when switching video among all Aux outputs.

A macro function enables you to store and register a series of operations and then perform complicated operations with one push of a button. Up to one hundred of patterns can be registered.

Assign up to 20 patterns and modification details to pattern numbers.

Provides 2 sets of still stores and clip memories for use as source material. Supply stills in jpeg, targa, bitmap, or png format from a computer via LAN or from a USB flash drive. Internal memory can hold 930 frames, with instant switching between image files during playback.
Clip memory also enables use of wipes created on a computer. Other features include process amplifier functionality for adjustment of video gain, offset, or hue. As recording media, use devices (including SD cards) connected by USB or order the switcher with an optional SSD. Stills can be saved on the switcher using backup functionality for access even after it has been restarted.

Store up to 100 patterns consisting of BKGD, KEYER, FLEXaKEY, AUX, MV, and other elements. Even the startup status is available as an event memory option. Switch panel settings all at once at the press of a button. Seamless execution of complex video switching from a single button, with your choice of event-switching effects and switching times. Ideal for live applications.

An in-built Web server enables the settings of the HVS-100 and HVS-110 to be changed from a PC via a network. Mobile and tablet terminals can also be used through a wireless access point.
The browser-based GUI of HVS-490 has been refined for greater convenience and significantly better usability. Operations such as applying event memory or macros or selecting patterns are possible from the upper right of the screen.

External interfaces include GPI port supporting up to 24 inputs/outputs and two RS-422 ports as standard. An Ethernet port is used during PC control.

1 built-in multi viewer output can display up to 16 windows, and optionally, an independent, identically specced 1 multi viewer output can be added. Both standard and optional multi viewers can be set up independently.
Display channels can be freely assigned, allowing assignment of not only input source but also PGM output.
Display options include title, frame tally, audio level meter, and clock (analog/digital).

Ample control panel connectivity is provided. HVS-190S users can connect HVS-190OU and up to 2 HVS-490 control panels. HVS-190I supports up to 2 HVS-490 control panels. HVS-490 control panels also enable remote control over LAN.
