AV-UHS500 | 4K/12G-SDI Compatible Compact Live Switcher

Key Features

4K / HD Multi-Format Switching with 12G-SDI

Supports 12G-SDI for single-cable 4K transmission, alongside 3G-SDI and HDMI, enabling high-quality UHD production with simplified cabling and setup.

Compact Design with High-End Capability

Despite its compact footprint, the AV-UHS500 delivers functionality typically found in larger broadcast switchers — making it ideal for OB, fly-packs, houses of worship, lecture halls, and event production.

Flexible I/O Configuration

Standard configuration offers 8 inputs and 7 outputs, expandable up to 16 inputs and 15 outputs with optional interface units — maintaining full I/O even in 4K mode.

Advanced Keying & Effects

Features five keyers (luminance, linear, chroma, full key, PinP) including Primatte® chroma key, plus DVE transitions, animation wipes, and extensive video memory for polished live production.

Built-In Conversion & HDR Support

Integrated up/down conversion, HDR/SDR conversion, BT.2020/BT.709 colour space conversion, scaling, and colour correction — all handled internally for streamlined workflows.

The Panasonic AV-UHS500, available from PanSolutions — the exclusive authorised distributor of Panasonic Broadcast and Professional Video products in South Africa — is a compact yet highly capable 4K/HD live switcher designed for professional broadcast, events, education, worship, and remote production environments.

Engineered to deliver true 4K production with HD-level operability, the AV-UHS500 supports 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, and optional IP workflows, offering exceptional flexibility in a portable, integrated chassis. With advanced keying, conversion, and multi-format support built in, it brings high-end switching performance to both fixed installations and mobile productions

Built for Modern 4K & Hybrid Production

The AV-UHS500 supports UHD and HD multi-format operation, including 2160p and 1080p workflows, allowing seamless switching between 4K and HD without reducing I/O capacity. With frame synchronisers on every input, integrated format conversion, and HDR/SDR processing, it eliminates the need for external converters and simplifies complex production chains.

Two optional expansion slots allow the system to scale as production needs grow — supporting additional SDI, HDMI, DVE, or NDI® IP connectivity when required.
