Simple & Compact, but Powerful
The HVS-600HS is an HD/SD-compatible, yet portable switcher that combines the easy operation and powerful features that
FOR-A's HANABI series is famous for. The compact case houses a wide array of functions to give you unrivaled mobility.
Selectable Inputs and Outputs
Both digital and analog input and output boards are available for users to
freely create their own combinations to match their needs. 10 different con-
figurations with several hundred variations of signal I/O formats are possi-
ble. The HVS-600HS enables you to find the optimal I/O configuration for
your particular operating environment.
Maximum I/O configuration
HD/SD-SDI: 8 inputs and 5 outputs
Analog Signal: 4 inputs or 2 inputs and 3 outputs
*See the table (Slot Configuration) in the next page for more details.
One Box System
The HVS-600HS uses an integrated main unit and operation unit to provide
HANABI's trademark compact body and enhanced mobility design for ena-
bling superior portability and usage in any possible operating environment.
Two Still Stores
The basic input provides two still stores. USB memory is supported for im-
porting images created on a workstation or exporting still stores.
DSK with Chroma Key Function
The HVS-600HS includes one DSK channel with a chroma key function as
standard features.
HD/SD Switchable
HVS-600HS is switchable between HD or SD formats by simply reinitializ-
ing the mode setup. It supports various HD formats such as 1080/60i and
720/60p and SD formats.
Supported formats;
HD formats:
1080/60i, 59.94i, 50i, 24p, 23.98psf, 720/60p, 59.94p, 50p.

Two channels of SD signals can be up-converted and processed as HD signals. Analog signals can also be used as HD format.
HVS-60KEYER: Keyer Card
One keyer incorporating a chroma key function can be added.
Of course, our high quality edges and shadow effects can be
applied to the key.
HVS-60ED: Editor Interface Software
This software program is used to support the GVG-100 and
BVS-3000 editing protocols.

System Configuration Examples
The HVS-600HS can be custom-tailored to fit your specific application.
Here are some examples of ways that the HVS-600HS can be used.
Compact Editing System
The HD/SD-SDI I/O's provides a compact digital video switcher with up to 8 inputs and 5 outputs. If the editor interface is installed, the HVS-600HS can be
fully utilized as an HD compatible compact editing system. When the up-converter feature is installed, SD contents can be used directly in HD editing. An an-
alog output board can also be installed for output to consumer monitors for building a monitoring environment without high-priced monitors.

OB Van
The One-Box design with integrated main unit and operation unit enables installation even in the smallest of spaces. Because I/O's can be selected by the
user, switcher upgrades are possible without wasting the equipment that you already have. By installing the frame synchronizer option direct input of video
from not only asynchronous signal input devices, but also camcorders, STB, tuners, and other devices without external synchronization is possible. Even
when not installed in an OB Van, the HVS-600HS is an ideal switcher for field productions that require mobility.

to 12 inputs. The picture-in-picture function also includes two inputs for supporting output to large screens at events or for showing presentations with great-
er impact. When PC output is selected for the analog output, resolutions from VGA to SXGA are supported for using PDP and other large displays or projectors
for showing high-resolution video on a wide variety of display devices.
