This link enables remote switching of the remote controlled camera video on the HS50's AUX bus; and other unique functions The AW-HS50 has built-in; switchable 10-bit frame synchronizers on each input; ensuring reliable; glitch-free switching even with non-synchronous sources such as remote camera feeds; small camcorders; and computer graphics.

The HS50 has four HD/SD-SDI inputs and one HD DVI-D input; two HD/SD-SDI outputs and one scalable DVI-D output. Additional standard features include an on-screen display (OSD) for viewing switcher settings; GPI input; camera tally outputs; an Ethernet control interface; 4-pin XLR 12VDC input; and an AUX Bus for a versatile production workflow.
