Don't know if there is an audience for this here, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
Picked this up awhile back from company with the intention of using it on a project. Doesn't look like it's going to pan out so will put it up here before maybe trying eBay.
Item History / Condition:
Owned by a shop up in Tennessee. They purchased it for 1 tour and used it 16~20 times. It is missing a button cover (Button isn't used and/or needed) and the Z encoder knob for the PiP positioner. The setting is accessible through the normal menu-encoders. Unit has some light marring, but is overall in good shape.
The switcher is configured as an 8 input switcher with three AUX busses.
It includes one DSK which can do full chroma/luma/linear keying.
There are two AUX cross-point control panels and the internal ARCNET driver board.
There are two still stores.
Can easily save configuration and setups for quick-recall from front panel.
Everything is in good working order.
If you need to switch a few cameras this will work well.
More importantly, if you need to control a few different output screens, this will work very well.
Will do the full complement of SD-720-1080 in both PAL and NTSC
Manual is here: http://www.for-a.com/products/hvs500hs/HVS500HS-E-E1R7.pdf
Datasheet is here: http://www.for-a.com/products/hvs500hs/hvs500hs_c.pdf

I paid about 4K for this unit and I figured that was a fair price. I would love to get that back out of it. However other offers will be entertained.
Any questions shoot me a message.
Thanks!
