The HVS-4000 also comes with a number of interfaces and functions for connecting to external devices, making it extremely useful as the core device in your video production system.

2 M/E, 2.5 M/E, and 3 M/E models

The HVS-4000 offers you a choice of three models, a 2 M/E, 2.5 M/E, or 3 M/E model. The main unit and options are the same, so you can upgrade to 3 M/E even after purchasing a 2 M/E model. The main unit has a redundant power source, DVE board and a number of options for adding functions, all in a main unit. Helping to reduce system peripherals and save you space.
