Multi-format HD/SD Compatibility for Worldwide Use
Compatibility with various HD/SD formats will help you meet changing production needs as video moves towards HD on a global scale. The AV-HS400A lets you up-convert and mix SD signals with HD, to provide an easy transition to full HD production. The AV-HS400A is compatible with virtually all common input devices.

Built-in Frame Synchronizers for Versatile Operation
Each input features a built-in 10-bit Frame Synchronizer for smooth switching, even with asynchronous sources, such as DVDs or satellite feeds. Reference (black burst) signal outputs are provided to enable synchronization with external systems. The main unit and control panel are integrated in a compact body, ideal for small studios and mobile production.
* AC 220 V to 240 V power supply.
• The unit is not waterproof so please avoid direct contact with water.

Remotely control the HD integrated camera AW-HE100 and pan-tilt heads*
Directly connecting the AW-HE100 3CCD integrated pan/tilt/zoom camera or a Panasonic camera/pan-tilt head* allows control over pan, tilt, zoom, and focus using the AV-HS400A's positioner. Moreover, by also connecting a Panasonic control panel** you can switch between and operate up to 5 cameras and pan-tilt heads*.
* Compatible models: AW-PH400/AW-PH405/AW-PH360.
** Compatible models: AW-RP655/AW-RP555.
