Text Typing Tool software
The AWS-G500E comes with Text Typing Tool software, which is
controlled via an easy-to-use GUI displayed in full size on the
LCD screen.
This GUI can be easily toggled between the main GUI of the
AWS-G500E. The Text Typing Tool software allows operators to
easily generate still text for superimposition on the program
output using the DSK or keyer. In addition, wipe and dissolve
effects can be used for text overlaying. A number of text files
can be created and stored in advance for instant recall during
the live event, and it is possible to install TrueType fonts from
third parties.
The Text Typing Tool of the AWS-G500E supports ten languages,
as listed to the right.
Languages available on the GUI display and Text Typing Tool:
Easy and integrated operation
The AWS-G500E makes live event programming as simple as
possible. This is because the AWS-G500E requires very little or
no technical knowledge of switcher and mixer setup and
operations, due to its extremely intuitive control surface and
large LCD display.
With the AWS-G500E, switching between the desired input
signals is an extremely easy task. This is because all input
sources, as well as the preview and program outputs, are
shown on one large LCD screen - simply select the next
desired signal from the NEXT button row and slide the transition
fader or hit the Cut button.
The window frames of the input sources chosen for the
program and preview outputs are highlighted in the same
color as the program and preview window markers. This gives
operators complete comfort that the correct inputs have been
selected.
A variety of preset effect patterns are available for source
switching transitions as well as for inserting keys.
On all GUI displays, a choice of 10 languages is provided for
maximum ease of use.
Camera remote control capability
The AWS-G500E allows operators to easily control one or more
compatible pan/tilt/zoom cameras at remote locations, since
it allows pan and tilt adjustments from its position controller, in
addition to iris, focus, and zoom control using the jog and
shuttle dials. Sony offers a variety of compatible cameras such
as the BRC-300, BRC-Z330, BRC-H700, and EVI-HD1.
