The XVS series are Sony’s latest live production switchers to meet the requirements of advanced 4K(UHD), HD, and High Dynamic Range (HDR) productions. All models have IP and SDI interfaces to deliver massive benefits of flexibility and operability for all-range of production by enabling IP and SDI hybrid operation. Optional 100G IP interface boards support SMPTE ST 2110, both in 4K and HD in a single stream with on-board format conversion (FC), while 12G SDI interface board functioning on-board FC and HDRC for incoming video source. Remote control via Ethernet using Virtual Panel (GUI version of control panel), Virtual Menu, and Virtual Shot Box web applications give scalable and flexible systems in multi-studio and remote setups. The XVS series switchers are capable of supporting network routing function to enable multiple LAN/WAN network connectivity. This allows the remote operation capabilities by connecting the processor and the panel over Layer 3 network. The control panel can be located at a remote site away from the processor to support remote production over the long distance. With optional Virtual Panel, Virtual Menu, Virtual Shot Box software and the latest software version-update, the XVS Series switcher can be configured to best fit for remote production.
