In addition to the regular MIX transitions, NAM, FAM, and WIPE transitions are available. The HVS-500HS has 100 different preset wipe patterns.

Process Control
Both input and offset levels can be independently adjusted, enabling easy color correction and color matching on-site when using multiple cameras.

Fully-customizable Configuration
With the HVS-500HS, you can go beyond the standard configuration with customized inputs and outputs and a diverse array of other available options. Since you only add the required functions to match your operating environment or system, you can use different function combinations to transform the HVS-500HS into a switcher with performance optimized for your application.
