Datavideo HS-1300HD 6 Channel Portable Production Studio

The HS-1300 is a hand-carried, six-channel HD production studio that folds a switcher, keyers, a recorder, and a streaming encoder into a single portable case. It takes four HD-SDI and two HDMI cameras or sources and cuts, mixes, and wipes between them live in 1080i or 720p, with full preview so the operator sees the next shot before it goes to air. A single mix-effect bus carries two upstream and two downstream keyers plus a picture-in-picture, enough to composite lower thirds and logos on the fly.

A built-in H.264 encoder streams the program feed to YouTube, Facebook, or any CDN at up to 10 Mb/s while recording the same feed locally, so a show can go live and be archived from the one unit. Program and preview leave on two SDI and three HDMI outputs, and XLR inputs bring in master audio from a mixer. Its HD-850 wheeled hard case is available to move the rig between venues.
