Panasonic AW-SW350E - Manual (Page 5)

• Handle with Care.
Do not drop the switcher, or expose it to strong shock or vibration. This is important to
prevent trouble and accidents.
• Operating temperature range 0˚C to 40˚C
Avoid using it in a cold place below 0˚C or a hot place above 40˚C because low or high
temperature will adversely affect the parts inside.
• Switch power off before cables connection or disconnection.
Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the cables.
• Use at a Place Not Humid, Not Dusty.
Avoid using the switcher at a humid, dusty place because the internal parts are subject to
damage by moisture and dust.
• Care
Switch power off and wipe the switcher with a dry cloth. If it is difficult to remove the dirt,
dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent, squeeze it hard, and wipe the
product carefully.

FEATURES
• Five Inputs Despite Compactness
The switcher has five composite video signal inputs. (Automatic termination. Loopthrough
output provided) It also has an S-terminal (4-pin), and can thus handle YC signals. Input
5 can be switched to the internal frame memory or vice versa by means of a switch.
Internal black or colour signal (9 patterns) can be selected.
• Three Programme Outputs, Preview Outputs Available
Effect outputs including two composite video outputs (BNC connectors) and one YC
signal output (S-terminal, 4-pin) are available, so it is easy to build a system with
monitors, VTRs, etc. The AW-SW350 also features the Preview output to confirm the
next operation. (Look Ahead Preview)
• Frame Synchronizer System and Genlock System Supported
The switcher contains a high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer: this means that
asynchronous signals can be directly input to the input camera or other such device
without having to initiate genlock. Its inputs are equipped with a frame synchronizer
function so that its images are do not freeze even when the frames are switched.
Alternatively, the frame synchronizer can be turned off, genlock can be applied to a
camera or other such device, and the unit can be used as a wideband switcher with
minimal deterioration in image quality (resolution of 800 lines).
• Genlock
The switcher enables genlocking to the reference sync signal of an external device.
Furthermore, by using its BB output, the system can be upgraded using the
synchronization of the switcher as a reference.
• Image Transfer, Soft Keys and Linear Keys
Inside the switcher AW-SW350 has a 1-frame frame memory so that the images created
using a personal computer can be captured in this memory through the USB port. There
are nine different patterns for wipe, and one of three softness levels can be set. Text can
also be synthesized smoothly by performing linear key operations.
• External Power Supply
The switcher can be used both indoors and outdoors because it operates on an external
power supply of 12 V DC.
(However, it is not built rainproof or dripproof. Do not expose the switcher to rains or
moisture.)
• Tally and Intercom Provided
Five tally outputs and five intercom inputs and outputs are available so that the switcher
can be directly apply to conventional systems. (The switcher has its own intercom on the
panel.)
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use benzine, paint thinner, or other volatile liquids.
• When using a chemical duster, carefully read the caution notes on its use.
