Bob Zelin and all: advice for Panasonic AV-HS400A

[Chuck Pullen]

I don’t think it’s pass through, but that’s the way I have mine wired. I always make it a habit to record a few minutes of bars/tone, rehearsal, camera test, whatever; and play it back to make sure everything is set up properly. I know that at the very least if something major is wrong you will probably catch it that way, plus the talent always wants to see what they did after it’s over!

HI Bob, I’m trying to get help with our new AV-HS400A. Your post was the only I found on Creative Cow so, I hope you don’t mind me bugging you. I can’t seem to find a CG for this particular switcher. What are you using to bring in overlays, banners, lower 3rds and animations to the AV-HS400A? We have a Globecaster that was used with our now defunct Abekas 8150, but the engineer we hired can’t seem to find how to get the Globecaster alpha out to the AV-HS400A. Any leads you can give me would be great! Thanks

Hi,
I tried to install a DVI input board in the HS400 and the switcher did not recognize it. Its the HS04M3 board
and I powered off, installed the board and powered back on. I went through the settings but nothing seemed to work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
