    Hi, is there any better alternative to AW-HS50 in price range aroun $4000? I need a switcher with 4 FullHD inputs and this is the only one I found for this money… Thanks

    I think Edirol makes the cheapest HD switchers but they are still a couple of thousand dollars out of your budget I’m afraid. If you can raise the money, I own an HS-400 and I certainly would recommend it. Just hook it up to an HD monitor and you’re up and running.

    Thanks, 10k is too much for me at the moment. If I’m looking correctly, the HS50 has 4 HD inputs and multiviewer support, so it could be enough for what I need, right?

    I was not up to speed on the 50. I thought you meant 450. Thats a neat little switcher and it looks like it will fit the bill. The Edirol runs around $6k so this is certainly the cheapest of the hd switchers.

    I haven’t seen anything else even close for that combination of features and price tag. I have one on order and maybe it will come over on the ship from Japan early next month (?)
