Overview
Live Switcher AV-HS6000 employs a newly designed, easy-to-use UI graphical Control Panel AV-HS60C1/AV-HS60C2/AV-HS60C4 to support accurate
switching.
And even with a 3U size compact design, it is equipped with abundant inputs and outputs for great system integration as seen by its 32 SDI and 2 DVI

diverse transitions.
