With Picture in Picture (PiP), you can overlay another source and resize/reposition this PiP window wherever you want it on the screen. You can also choose from a vast range of over 190 transition patterns, including 3D-DVE to easily add effects to your show. Adding titles is also super simple, with a library of design templates where text attributes such as font and color can be edited and placed on-screen. You can also queue up to 8 predesigned titles as presets for a smooth workflow during livestreaming.

The AV-HLC100 also features a clips & stills media player which allows for inserting videos and still images as sources, along with a variety of file formats Windows® supports (please note that some formats are not supported.)

The AV-HLC100 supports a wide range of video formats including 3G-SDI video in 1080/59.94p and 1080/50p, and enables cross-conversion between 1080p/1080i and 720p. SDI x 4 or SDI x 3 / HDMI x 1 can be selected, and it also has 8ch of IP inputs, so that a system can be configured to match the production environment. It is also compliant with NDI® and NDI®|HX, which enables high-resolution videos to be encoded and transferred in real time. This also means that up to 8 of our Professional PTZ Integrated robotic cameras* can be connected with a single LAN cable, without external IP decoders, and automatically link to the AV-HLC100. This enables video and audio transfer, PTZ camera control, camera power and tally lights all via a single cable, allowing for quick set-up and simplified cable management. Supported video outputs include HDMI x 1, 3G-SDI x 2, RTMP streaming x 1 & NDI® x 1.

SkypeTX Remote Presenter / Interview

The AV-HLC100 can use Skype TX as one of the sources, which enables broadcast-quality video communication. Footage sent by Skype-based video channels from remote locations can be directly incorporated during live shows and can be used for interviews or on-location broadcasts, providing an engaging way to bring in guests from all over the world into your live events, lectures, webinars, and presentations.

Easy System Configuration

Output format support includes 1080/59.94p and 50p, and there is also a cross conversion (between 1080 and 720) function.

In addition, supported network protocol the NDI®, RTSP (direct input of the IP video from Panasonic PTZ cameras) and the RTMP (direct transmission to live streaming services such as YouTube Live). High-production value can be accomplished even in situations with a limited number of operators and with limited staff training.
