Like the HVS-300HS, it offers a full range of functionality, including mixed HD/SD input, frame synchroniser, 2D and 3D wipe effects, DVE, keyer with chroma key (2 channels), DSK (4 channels), still stores (4 channels), picture in picture (2 channels) and 16-split multiviewer (2 channels). It retains the unique specifications that allow selection of operation style and can be used on all types of locations for almost anything (live, events, news, outside broadcasting vans, sports, editing, presentations, etc.). The HVS-350HS offers new innovations to the video switcher genre.

HVS-350HS Main Features

• 3U Compact Frame – The HVS-350HS unit size is 3U. Inside is a full range of functionality. It has a large fan and efficient cooling process.
• Frame Synchronisers – A frame synchroniser function comes standard for input. This enables asynchronous signals to be switched as is.
• Re-sizing Engine – A re-size engine (expansion) is provided on 4 of the 8 standard inputs and the optional input board HVS-30HSDI. This achieves a fully mixed SD and HD environment with a switcher alone, with no need to connect an external device such as an up-converter.
• Event Memory – When reading out events from current settings, you can call them up while assisting the transition to the event’s registered status.
• Sequence Function – The sequence function, moreover, can register up to 10 patterns. BKGD and keyer/DSK 2D DVE parameter settings, picture in picture settings and others can be registered as key frames.
• 2 keyer and 4 DSK – Two keyer channels and 4 DSK channels come standard. The keyer also has a chroma key function.
• Abundant DVEs and Transitions – Besides the 2D DVEs that come with the keyer and DSK, two channels of 3D DVEs come standard.
• 4 Still Stores – Four still store channels are provided standard. Externally created still data can be sent to the main unit via Ethernet.
• Dual Channels 4/10/16 Split Multi Viewer – A multiviewer function, capable of displays of up to 16 splits, comes standard with 2 channels. Supports 4-split, 10-split and 16-split display patterns.
• 2 Picture-in-Picture – Two channels of dedicated Picture-in-Picture (P-in-P) circuits are provided, separate from the wipe effect function. The picture can be enlarged, shrunk, repositioned, cropped or given a border.
• Input/Output – HD/SD-SDI 8 input/8 output come standard. Support for mixed input of HD and SD signal comes standard.
• Multi-monitor (Video-wall) – With the DSK free assignment function on, the HVS-350HS alone is sufficient to achieve a multi-monitor environment in which multiple monitors are connected.
• AUX Transition – Supports not only M/E and P/P bus, but also AUX bus transition switching.
• Free DSK Assignment – Offers four channels of DSK that you can freely assign.
• Interfaces – External interfaces include an Editor port for connecting to an editing machine, GPI port supporting up to 10 inputs and 20 outputs, RS-422 port for connecting an HVS-30RU, etc.,
• OSD (On-screen Display) – The PREV or AUX monitor settings screen can be displayed on-screen.
• S3D Preview Function – The HVS-350HS offers a stereo 3D option, enabling not only simultaneous switching of the two channels left and right, but also simultaneous output on the two channels left and right.
