DataVideo MS-2850A Mobile Studio

The SE-2850 HD/SD 8-Channel Video Switcher from Datavideo is a mixed format switcher with 8 HD/SD-SDI inputs and four assignable SDI and two assignable HDMI outputs for routing any combination of HD and SD video.

This switcher supports SDI/HDMI YUV 10-bit 4:2:2, and HDMI/RGB 4:4:4 color sampling for smoother color gradations. Housed in a 2 RU frame, the SE-2850 is ideal for use in both large broadcast systems or portable mini-racks for live productions. Routing is controlled via Ethernet using the included Windows software or via RS-422 control.

For advanced audio control, the SE-2850 can be connected to an external mixer (not included). Additional switcher features include dual PiP, two downstream keyers, cross-point video and audio, two independent logo functions, and a built-in title overlay system. The SE-2850 includes four XLR audio inputs with each audio channel featuring de-embedding and audio delay.

The DataVideo HDR-70 HDD Recorder for SD/HD-SDI with Removable Drive Bay is a rack mountable video recorder for studio control rooms or video production trucks. It records NTSC, PAL, and HD video signals and features an SD/HD-SDI input and two mini-XLR recording to 2.5" form factor HDD or SSDs in a removable drive caddy. The HDR-70 features selectable color sampling ratio and data rate settings. This compact unit features a small footprint and is made from painted aluminum for strength. The front panel buttons provide you local tape deck like control of the unit, with built-in led audio level meters. The HDR-70 features two XLR inputs and outputs for balanced audio.

The included drive caddy supports available drives (both HDD and SSD) up to 500GB, and once removed from the HDR-70 the enclosures can be connected directly to a computer via the built-in USB 2.0 or eSata interface for off loading or editing directly from the drive. The unit writes to the NTFS file format system, which makes the drive readable by both Mac and Windows systems and avoids the 4GB file size limitation of FAT32 systems. For remote control, the HDR-70 features a 9-pin connector that allows control by RS-232 or RS-422. The unit is powered by 12 volts DC, and the cable connector features a locking collar so the power cable can't be accidentally unplugged.

The contrast ratio of 400:1 showcases the monitor's ability to handle light and dark images on-screen.

One of the innovative features of the rack-mountable ITC-100 8-User Wired Intercom System with 4 Beltbacks & 4 Headsets from Datavideo is that it can use headsets ranging from low-cost cell phone headsets to high-quality professional units.

Its easy-to-use design features a menu/mode LCD and only a few controls such as an "Adjust" dial, and it's housed in a rugged, metal enclosure for use in the studio or in the field. It offers an audio delay time from 0 to 700 ms.

The PD-2A 1RU 19” Rack Power Distribution Center from Datavideo provides steady power supply for studio equipment, such as the video switcher, monitors, recorders, and intercom system.
