Main features

Recording and live streaming

The HS-4000 features easy-to-use recording and live streaming encoders. This functionality enables simultaneous live broadcasting and recording of high-quality MP4 files with audio-video synchronization. This dual capability is ideal for archiving and post-event editing.

High-quality video support

The mobile studio supports video resolutions of up to 4K at 60 frames per second (FPS). This high-resolution capability ensures that the output video quality is crisp and detailed, suitable for professional-level productions.

Intuitive touchscreen and physical buttons

In addition to traditional physical buttons, the mobile studio features a 5" touchscreen with customizable icons. This touchscreen interface provides intuitive control over various functions and settings, enhancing user experience and ease of operation.

Versatile video inputs

The HS-4000 can accept video inputs from various sources, including PCs, multimedia players with HDMI 2.0 output, and 12G-SDI cameras. This versatility allows for seamless integration of different devices and sources into the production workflow.

The HS-4000 has 12 video inputs, with 8 of the inputs being selectable for flexibility, as well as variety of video and audio inputs and outputs, 7 outputs with AUX assignment.

True 12G 4K 50/60 video production switcher

Support UHD 4K60/50p signals on inputs and outputs. It also has built-in input scaler, for up conversion on each available input.

Multiple interfaces for all video types

Fully equipped with various I/O's that accept UHD 4K 50/60p videos from sources such as PCs with an HDMI 2.0 output port, multimedia players, and 12G-SDI ENG style cameras. Upon connection, the 10-bit broadcast quality video will be displayed instantaneously at no expense of resolution, speed and frame rate.

12-channels application built upon an 8 video switching design

Responsive and seamless interface switching between 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 on four shared channels. By upgrading from 8 channels to a 12 channel machine, it adds greater versatility to your hardware connections and more possibilities to live program production.

Plug & Play

There is no need to install the driver to connect with the laptop. The images and videos can be directly input to the switcher through the HDMI interface of the laptop.

Integrated 4K UHD monitor

Equipped with a high-quality 17.3" 4K UHD monitor, the mobile studio provides a multiview display. This display allows producers and operators to monitor multiple video sources simultaneously, ensuring smooth production execution.
The 4K monitor has four times of resolution than a Full HD monitor, resulting in much sharper and more detailed images.
The increased pixel density of a 4K monitor means that individual pixels are smaller and less noticeable, resulting in sharper text, images, and graphics. The higher resolution of a 4K monitor improves productivity, as you can have multiple windows open side by side without sacrificing legibility or clarity.

5" touchscreen display

With the 5" touchscreen panel built-in, you will not need a laptop or app to assist with your live production.
With many built-in functions, including user memory with customized icon, transition animation set up, chroma key, luma key, DSK, PIP, wipe generator, still stores, and logo insertion; these can all be done on the 5" LCD touchscreen.

Intuitive one-button-one-function

The easy-to-use user interface is intuitive so you don't need complicated composite buttons to activate various switching effects including video effects that are usually activated in a number of steps.

They can all be saved in one user memory slot and with the assigned icon, you can easily identify the settings saved therein. Simply tap the slot to activate all saved features.

Picture-in-picture frames with unique 3D borders

Create 2 picture-in-picture frames that can be active at the same time. Picture-in-picture frames are fully adjustable in size and position and have various border options including unique 3D borders.

Varieties of 3D PIP configurations

The two built-in PIP windows can be overlaid on one another. In addition to the default corner places, you can further change the window's size, position and display ratio. You can also crop the window to make it square. By adding a shaded border, you will then be able to fully generate an advanced 3D PIP window with a self-defined border color.

WIPE transition effects

There is a total of 64 WIPE transition effects designed for different TV programs. The WIPE transition is a very crucial element in program production. The SE-4000 provides 64 eye-catching WIPE effects with configurable border color and width. The border can be further softened to make the WIPE effect unique.

Still image thumbnails

Save up to 250 4K still images such as sequential program images, images of various scenarios, full size logos, school or faculty badges, etc. You can also capture important moments of your program and save these images for post-edits. This library of images is a good tool for future video production.

Lumakey, chromakey, linear key and downstream key

The HS-4000 comes with a built-in web-ready recorder. Simply insert your SD card, and you'll have video files that can be immediately uploaded to the video network of your choice or to your website.

Professional audio-to-video synchronization

There are times when video and audio become out of sync during video production or live video streaming. Most users would feel annoyed when such an issue arises. Videos are usually processed at 25 or 50 frames per second and the audio is delivered in milliseconds.
Due to different processing times and network latencies, you will thus receive out of sync video and audio. The HS-4000's professional built-in audio delayer is designed to ensure precise audio-to-video synchronization by delaying and calibrating the audio received.
Ultimately, the sound reproduced by stereo speakers should match the video played on the big screen, providing audience with a pleasant viewing experience.

Pre-saved 10 virtualsets with each having 4 configurable camera angles; save up to 40 virtualsets

In addition to user saved still images, the SE-4000 also provides up to 10 sets of or 40 high quality 4K virtualsets for left, front, right and long shot auxiliary cameras. They are designed for video conferences and interview programs.
Not only that, the user can visit www.datavideovirtualset.com to download more virtualsets. Different themes for various scenarios are available on the website for download.
