Whittier, CA - March 30th 2016 – Datavideo,
a leading manufacturer of live video production equipment, is proud to announce
a new product, which revolutionizes the way 4K cameras are used for live video
productions. The KMU-100 is a unique 4K
multi-camera production solution that delivers multiple virtual full HD (up to
1080p) scaled camera angles with minimal installation cost and simple
operation.
The basic concept is straightforward: The output of a single 4K/UHD camera is
connected to KMU-100, which then displays up to four 16x9 user-defined
cropped windows that are sent out as four separate HD signals through HD-SDI.
These user defined windows can be scaled to zoom in on a particular subject
that you would like to highlight on the 4K signal. An additional 4K camera
could be connected to allow up to eight defined outputs from the two 4K
signals. As an option, the Datavideo RMC-180 camera controller can be added to
easily pan, tilt, and zoom to create the user defined windows on the 4K signal.
You can set up these shots in advance and save them as presets, or you can do
it in real-time.
For example, if you wanted to broadcast a live three-piece band concert using a
4K camera; simply set up the 4K/UHD camera with a wide angle shot, then connect
the camera output to the KMU-100. Use the RMC-180 controller to select up to
four 16x9 windows which could be positioned with a joystick as well as resized
from any part of the original 4K signal. You can now have the following shots:
