Datavideo - iCast-10NDI

iCAST 10NDI is an all-in-one 5-channel streaming switcher: an innovative, highly efficient and easy-to-use live production equipment where you can connect a variety of inputs to create an eye-catching presentation with different video sources, such as PTZ cameras and document camera, and a laptop for presentation slides. iCAST 10NDI features a total of five video inputs with one selectable SDI/HDMI port, three HDMI-only ports and one USB 3.0 port. You can also receive IP video via the RJ-45 port streamed using RTMP(S) or SRT protocol.
Using the built-in stream encoder and recorder, you can easily live stream to multiple platforms and record the show onto an SSD Sata card. Up to six ISO video channels can be recorded simultaneously to provide more material for post-production. This type of registration allows you to save your data locally or on a file server.
Since 94% of mobile users hold their phone vertically to view videos, iCAST 10NDI also provides vertical streaming.

Main features:

• Seamless switching
• Multi-channel audio mixing
• Video streaming
• Multi-camera video recording
• Character generation
• System control

This switcher provides an intuitive preview of the output sources. Multiple PGM modes allow you to view a full screen view of the outgoing program video, like live streaming the four incoming videos to your audience. iCAST 10NDI offers five Multiview layouts to allow you to show your input videos simultaneously. These can be streamed anywhere, without delay, and received using a receiver/decoder, personal mobile device or computer.
iCAST 10NDI then supports NDI | HX in and out: another alternative to transmit quality video with low latency. Decode up to 3 NDI channels: no more cables and complicated configurations needed!
iCAST-10 supports SRT protocol which mitigates packet loss when the network becomes unstable due to insufficient bandwidth. By adding dvCloud, the professional streaming platform developed by Datavideo, you can stream your video to up to 25 platforms simultaneously with no time limit while the video is backed up to the cloud for future downloads. iCAST 10NDI, SRT and dvCloud form a low latency, secure and reliable streaming workflow.
The 2" LCD screen on the front panel of the unit displays the recording status of all video channels. A built-in professional recorder supports broadcast quality recording up to Full HD 1080p 50/60 fps with small file size obtained thanks to H.264 video encoding with configurable resolution, frame rate, video bitrate, etc.
Even the audio compartment is not far behind, since it is possible to perform multi-channel audio mixing and A/V synchronization. In addition to embedded audio, we also have a pair of XLR connectors for connecting microphones and stereo RCA terminals for analog audio players. There is also a 3.5 mm mini-jack for monitoring. Web audio, the most popular audio source, is another external audio source. And, to eliminate the synchronization error between audio and video, the unit is able to independently delay each audio channel.
This powerful switcher allows you to add graphics such as logos, titles, text and images to any video channel input or program output, custom captions and subtitles in real time for programs such as news. Adjust the size, position, color and borders to highlight the information you want to convey to your audience. You can also transcribe audio by inserting subtitles line by line using News CG, after which you will be able to play the subtitles in real time by simply tapping the space bar on your keyboard controller.
Finally, iCAST 10NDI supports multiple control methods which are DVIP, RS-232, Web UI and the LCD screen. DVIP is a control protocol developed by Datavideo for controlling peripheral devices such as videocameras, switchers and recorders, allowing you to create a complete video production environment. The iCAST 10NDI APP is installed on the TPC-700 controller along with many frequently used control settings. The responsive touch panel allows you to easily switch between control modes, adds versatility to video production and reduces operational complexity.
