Live video direction in environments where time is of the essence.
The control and menu panels support accurate switching and intuitive operation and boast a multitude of functional inputs and outputs as well as keyers and DVEs that support a variety of performances. Additionally, 4K video production is supported through 4K format*1 compatibility. Furthermore, redundant power for the mainframe and control panel heighten stability during live operation. The AV-HS7300 Live Switcher harnesses Panasonic’s extensive broadcasting experience and achievements for unparalleled on-site live video production.
Maximum of 72 inputs*2 and 42 outputs*3 to easily handle large-scale video production
8ch (stills and clips, 4ch each) video memory for support of various video production
Event memory, shot memory and macro memory equipped for saving complex procedures
4K video format support*1 with 4 x 3G-SDI
Settings for each video program are stored per project file to reduce operator burden
A wealth of keyers, such as upstream key, ME row key, downstream key, etc., are equipped
Can simply assign any ME (ME1-ME4) operation with every row in the control panel. In addition to a capability of single panel operation, a multi panel connectivity realizes a large scale production system requirements.
