Overview
Features of This
System
The AWS-G500 Anycast Station Live Content
Producer is an audiovisual production system
equipped with camera control, video switching,
and live Internet distribution systems.
The following are the principal features.
All-in-One
AWS-G500 is light and conveniently portable,
while combining video switching and audio
mixing functions with video monitor and camera
control, to provide an inclusive package for live
content generation. Whereas previously it was
necessary to assemble various devices, this is no
longer necessary, and the time and effort required
to install, connect, and adjust the equipment has
been greatly reduced.
Video Switching
• You can switch between a maximum of six
analog, DV, SDI (when using a serial digital
interface module), HD analog (when using an
HD video interface module), HD SDI (when
using an HD serial digital interface module), or
RGB input images.
• The system provides both mix (dissolve) and
wipe transition effects, Picture-in-Picture for
combining videos, and luminance and chroma
keying functions.
• Before carrying out a switching operation, you
can preview the next selected image in the PVW
viewer.
• You can mix video using a maximum of five
effects at one time, such as incorporating
(keying) a separate video clip when switching
between two video clips with a wipe or other
transition effect, as well as superimposing text
(downstream key) and displaying a copyright
logo.

• You can register video effect settings as
snapshots and recall them quickly when
necessary.
Text Typing Tool Software
The system includes installed Text Typing Tool
software, which allows easy creation of titles.
Titles created with the Text Typing Tool software
can be used in the DSK (downstream key) or as
luminance keys.
Audio Mixing
You can mix up to six audio inputs.
Each channel is provided with a range of
functions, including fader, input trim, filter
equalizer, limiter, and compressor pan (balance),
allowing the sound quality and level to be adjusted
on each channel separately.
In addition, each channel has a prefader listen
function, allowing you to monitor the input audio
before any effects are applied by the fader, and
each output has a delay function to correct any
discrepancies between the audio and video timing.
Remote Camera Control
• Using a camera with VISCA support, you can
remotely control the camera movements,
including panning, tilting, and zoom.
• The camera preset function allows you to store
camera pan, tilt, and zoom settings. Using the
camera preset function, you can immediately set
the camera to the preset state when required just
by pressing a button.
