New Video Memory Function for Two Inputs
Two inputs for still (STILL) or moving (CLIP) images can be saved in Video Memory, and selected as bus footage. Moving pictures can be recorded and played with key signals (for a maximum of approximately 20 seconds/600 frames with 59.94i). Moving picture and still files can also be transferred from an SDHC/SD Memory Card or PC by a LAN network.*
* The software of the camera recorder may need to be upgraded depending on the version of the AV-HS410. Please refer to the "service and support" on the Panasonic Website (http://pro-av.panasonic.net/).
SDHC/SD Memory Card Slot
Video memory, shot memory, event memory and set-up data can be saved to SDHC/SD Memory Cards.
Primatte® High-Quality Chroma Key
Linear, luminance and chroma keying are provided. Chroma keying employs the Primatte® algorithm, which is widely used as a plug-in for nonlinear editors. The same excellent Primatte® image quality that is used worldwide for movies, TV programs, music videos and commercials is achieved by the AV-HS410's real time processing. Superior blue-spill processing naturally combines translucent objects, such as thin cloth and glass, with background colors. Extremely fine objects, such as individual strands of hair, are faithfully reproduced. One DSK channel is also provided to add borders, shadows, and other edge effects.

Shot Memory
Up to 100 image effects, such as background transition patterns, P-in-P sizes and border widths, can be registered in shot memory for instant retrieval. The AV-HS410's Effect Dissolve function enables smooth switching from a current image to one of the images or operations registered in the shot memory.
Event Memory
Up to 64 of the image effects that are registered in the shot memory can be sequentially registered in the event memory for instant retrieval. This allows highly expressive consecutive effects to be easily and smoothly executed. Up to 100 event memories can be registered.
New Memory Preview
This new function lets you preview the shot memory and event memory content. It allows image effects to be easily confirmed while on-air with this 1 M/E switcher. This is particularly convenient for live operation.
* The resolution of images output from memory is slightly lower than the usual resolution.
Built-in 178 mm ( 7 inches) Color LCD Monitor with Multi-Mode Display
A 178 mm ( 7 inches) color LCD monitor with WVGA (800 x 480) resolution is built into the control panel. It can be switched to a wide variety of display modes, including setting menus, image monitoring and waveform/vectorscope. (See the table below.) It also supports the MultiViewer and Memory Preview functions. AV-HS410 provides comfortable operation eliminating the need to view multiple displays in different locations.

Enhanced MultiViewer Display
Enhanced MultiViewer DisplayThe MultiViewer function lets you split the screen to display PVW, PGM and all source images on a single screen. It enables 4/5/6/9/10/16 split screens. The input signal name, audio level meter and 4:3 marker can also be overlaid onto each screen, and a clock can be displayed. This makes it possible to efficiently operate a multi-channel system with a single monitor.
Easy-to-Use Panel Layout
Features such as a total of 12 crosspoint buttons in each A bus and B bus (for a maximum of 22 with the Shift function) allow direct control with this simple panel layout. Function settings and registrations are made quickly and intuitively with the LCD monitor's matrix menu and rotary switches. Various functions can also be assigned to eight user buttons for one-touch operation. This level of easy operation supports speed and accuracy in live-relay operation.
Expanded Functions with Plug-in Software and Optional Boards
Plug-in Software Created with a Software Development Kit*
Plug-ins allow flexible expansion of software-based functions. A Software Development Kit (SDK) is provided so that third parties or SI enterprises can freely develop the software to add new functions to the AV-HS410. This will enable the system to meet an even wider range of needs, such as controlling the AV-HS410 with an external controller or PC, operating cameras and other devices from the AV-HS410, and outputting status data related to the live switcher or image sources.
