available options. Since you only add the required functions to match your operating environment or system, you can use different func-
tion combinations to transform the HVS-600HS into a switcher with performance optimized for your application.

Hardware/Software Options
HVS-60DVE2D/3D: DVE Card
One DVE card that enables magnification, reduction, or rotation can be installed. It functions as a one-channel DVE in HD
mode and two-channel DVE in SD mode. 3D DVE option enabling advanced effects supporting Real 3D DVEs using a polygon system are also available.
HVS-60FS: Frame Synchronizer/Still Store Card
The frame synchronizer option provides 4 extra inputs specifically for A/D conversion of analog inputs or mixing SD signals
with HD signals. Also the frame synchronizer card can be used
in still store mode for enabling four additional still stores.
HVS-60AIF: Analog Interface Card
When synchronous analog signals are input, the HVS-60AIF
should be installed instead of the FS card. (The FS card is required when non-synchronous analog signals are input.)
HVS-60UC: Up-Converter Card (2ch)
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.
HVS-ARCNET: ARCNET Card
This unit is used to connect HANABI peripheral devices such
as HVS-AUX16 AUX control panel.
HVS-60LAN: Ethernet Card
Ethernet interface for connecting to workstations and other devices, and transferring still picture files.

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.

Digital and analog I/O's can be installed to enable user-controlled switching inputs from an HD camera, SD camera, PC video, VCR, and other devices for up
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.
