responding to customers who asked for more advanced features. It is custom-built to fit
the customer's exact needs. No more extra cost for functions you'll never use and no more
wasted I/O's. Take advantage of FOR-A's proven broadcast technology in a low-cost,
fully-customizable, and portable One Box System.
A Low Cost,
High Performance,
Custom-Built Switcher with DVE

Selectable Inputs and Outputs
DSK with Chroma Key Function
Freely-Assignable DSK
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.
Simple & Compact, but Powerful
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.
The HVS-600HS includes one DSK channel with a chroma key function as
standard features.
DSK can be assigned to either PGM, AUX 1, 2, or 3.
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.
Wide Array of Effects
In addition to the regular MIX transitions, NAM, FAM, and WIPE transi-
tions are available. The HVS-600HS has 100 different preset wipe patterns.
Event Memory / User Buttons
The HVS-600HS includes an event memory that can store the data for up to
100 events and setting conditions. It can be assigned 8 user buttons.
Picture-in-Picture Function
A dedicated picture-in-picture function is provided with the basic configura-
tion. This enables the building of composites with up to two reduced-size
screens without using DVEs.
Process Control
Both input and offset levels can be independently adjusted, enabling easy col-
or correction and color matching on-site when using multiple cameras.
Gradation Matte
A vertical, horizontal, or diagonal gradation matte can be installed for assign-
ing to backgrounds, wipe borders, and keyer mattes.
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.
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.
SD formats: 525/60, 625/50, NTSC, PAL.

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.
This is just a small sample of the wide range of
applications that can be realized with the HVS-600HS.
Use your imagination to custom-tailor its power and
performance for your specific applications.
System Configuration Examples
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
Large Screen Output at Events
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.
