Live Content Producer AWS G500E  
The Anycast Station™ Live Content Producer AWS-G500E is a solution that combines decades of Sony AV expertise  
together with industry-leading IT technology.  
Designed as a powerful content creation tool for live event programming, it is comprised of a high-quality video switcher,  
an audio mixer, a large LCD display,Text Typing Tool software, and a streaming encoder and server - all packed into an  
attaché case-size chassis weighing only about 17 lb 10 oz (8 kg)*.  
To accommodate today’s growing needs to integrate video, audio, and a variety of PC input sources in live events, the  
AWS-G500E provides a comprehensive set of AV and IT inputs.  
The AWS-G500E is flexible in terms of configuration to suit the exact needs of each particular user in terms of input  
signals. A wide variety of optional modules for input sources are provided such as SD, HD, and PC video signals.  
In addition, Sony has introduced the new optional BKAW-581 Serial Digital Interface Module, which specializes in SDI  
input and output (480i/59.94, 576i/50), as well as supporting embedded audio. This module is an affordable solution  
for customers who require an SD setup, and is especially beneficial for studio and live shooting applications.  
If customers wish to upgrade to an HD configuration as their needs grow, they can simply replace the BKAW-581 with an  
optional HD interface module.  
The AWS-G500E performs the unique processing that allows live switching between these video and computer sources  
without the use of external line converters and without degrading picture quality.  
When it comes to program delivery, the AWS-G500E is also very flexible. Straight from the AWS-G500E, the user can feed  
programs to a TV transmitter for live broadcast, record onto tape, feed the switched program output directly to large  
venue displays, store input sources and a PGM output to external hard disk drives, and stream the program on the web  
on a live or on-demand basis.  
The AWS-G500E also includes beneficial Text Typing Tool software as standard, which allows operators to easily generate  
still text for superimposition on the program output.  
With all these unique features, plus a logical design for ultimate ease of use, the AWS-G500E combined with a wide  
range of optional modules is a powerful tool that can be used by anyone, anytime, and anywhere - for remote television  
broadcast operations, church productions, product promotions, event and live staging, music clip creation, conferences,  
seminars, and distance learning. Just plug in the power cord, turn on the power, and deliver the program.

need to be presented or distributed. With the AWS-G500E  
this dilemma is a thing of the past.The AWS-G500E allows  
live switching between a variety of signal sources – from  
standard definition video (analog composite, S-Video, DV,  
SD-SDI), high-definition video (HD analog component,  
HD-SDI) to PC images with various resolutions.  
Two important features make this possible - the  
sophisticated built-in line converters and the high-resolution

points is possible, and six pairs of IN and OUT points can be  
set for one clip file.  
External hard disk drives (HDD) operation*  
During a live event, the AWS-G500E with optional BKAW-570 or  
BKAW-580 allows synchronized recording (DV-AVI format) of  
two primary standard definition video input sources to an  
external third-party hard disk drive*6 via an IEEE1394 interface.  
This means that with only two hard disk drives, four primary  
inputs can be recorded. Whats more, the PGM output of the  
AWS-G500E can also be recorded to them as DV files.  
After recording, the DV files can be played back on a PC by  
connecting the hard disk drives to it, as well as on the  
In addition to recording, external HDDs can be used to supply  
the AWS-G500E with externally created video sources in the  
DV-AVI format.  
Furthermore, the AWS-G500E has the capability to  
automatically create an EDL (Edit Decision List) based on its  
switching information, which allows users to edit DV files on a  
PC very efficiently.

APPLICATIONS  
A range of features make the  
AWS-G500E suitable for virtually limitless  
applications.The following are typical  
examples:  
Example: Large projection application  
The AWS-G500E is a convenient live content creation  
system that allows easy integration of PC images, such  
as Microsoft PowerPoint® slides and Excel® spreadsheets,  
into live video programming.The AWS-G500E is designed  
so that PC image quality and/or video quality are not  
degraded during source switching, keeping the final  
program output quality at its best. Since image quality  
is important when displaying presentations on large  
projection systems, the AWS-G500E serves as a powerful  
tool in such applications.The preview monitor on the  
LCD screen further assists in selecting the next source to  
be put on screen, allowing for a very smooth, seamless  
presentation.  
Whats more, by preparing video clips to be used in the  
presentation on third-party hard disk drives, operation of  
the entire presentation becomes much smoother, espe-  
cially compared to using conventional tape-based  
playback devices.  
And, of course, using the built-in streaming capability or  
signing up with a streaming service provider allows the  
impressive screen projection to be distributed across the  
web, delivering the message wherever desired.
