Today’s customers expect increases value and high performance from their production switcher purchases, not just in the systems flexibility or its ability to handle the changing production requirements in today’s competitive market, but in the initial investment costs as well. The HVS-5000 series achieves this and more.

The HVS-5000 series is not “just” an SD or HD switcher. It’s a powerful 3G digital video production switcher system that combines the best of both. And yet, provides you with the flexibility required to meet the increased demands of your production workflow, while being the heart of your facilities system.

The HANABI HVS-5000 series lineup includes three model choices: the HVS-5300A with 2M/E, the HVS-5300 with 3M/E, and the HVS-5400 with 4M/E. The HVS-5000 series operating control panel is similar to that of the current HANABI series products and have additional features that provide for sequencing and other functions to maximize your workflow, making it the best choice for both live and editing applications. The system can be designed to accommodate a variety of switcher combinations which can also scale to meet various applications.

• Max. 96 Inputs, 48 Outputs – The HVS-5400 allows configuration with up to 96 inputs and 48 outputs. Capacity can be added in units of 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
• Up-/Down-/Cross-Converter – The HVS-5000 series offers the option of installing an up/down/cross converter.
• Reference I/O – Supports multiple reference I/O signals. Two input channels (with loop-through) and two output channels are provided.
• 4 Keyers and 2D DVEs for Each M/E – Incorporates four-channel keyers for each M/E as a standard feature. 2D DVE and chroma key are standard in all keyers. Optionally, advanced chroma key can be added to each M/E keyer.
• VTR Tracking Function – Perhaps one of the most unique functions of HVS-5000 series is this VTR tracking function.
