Housed in a standard 3 RU rackmount housing, the vMix 3U RACK 8-Channel Switcher from ACME VIDEO SOLUTIONS is a powerful tool for live video production. A full Windows PC is built into the chassis, featuring an Intel Xeon processor and NVIDIA RTX A5000 graphics. I/O consists of eight bidirectional SDI inputs/outputs, one IPMI LAN and two 10Gb LAN ports, and a VGA output. To utilize the functionality of the ACME RACK, separate software is required. Audio can be embedded in the SDI video inputs/outputs or brought in separately via the XLR combo jacks. USB I/O can support extra storage or additional I/O or control options with separately available hardware.

On the software side, the ACME RACK can be used with the popular vMix, Wirecast, and LiveStudio software, allowing the end-user to take advantage of the different software strengths depending on the production. Because of its versatility, the ACME RACK can find its way into houses of worship, schools, studios, and live event venues that wish to produce their own live content.

Designed for maximum space efficiency, the ACME RACK is built into a short depth 3 RU rackmount configuration. At just over 17" deep, you won't need a huge transport rack case to house a unit for your OB truck or vehicle.

Video I/O is delivered using eight 12G-SDI inputs that enable long cable runs with locking connectors as well as combo XLR-1/4" audio inputs and XLR outputs.

The ACME RACK is compatible with a wide variety of production software and are specifically configured to work closely with Telestream Wirecast Studio or Pro, vMix HD or Pro, and LiveStudio.

Q: 9. Can the inputs scale down 4k video input to 1080p? the intended camera for use is the BHG1 which outputs only 4k over HDMI?

A: No it can not. You will need to send a 1080p or lower signal for the switcher to process the video. Keep in mind that on cameras like the BGH1 your recording resolution and output resolution do not need to be the same. Therefore it is possible to record in 4K while outputting a 1080p video signal if necessary.

Q: 10. Does this provide closed-captioning capabilities?

A: Closed-captioning could be implemented when using Wirecast software and a subscription to their Web Services option https://www.telestream.net/Wirecast/WebServices/ , which has specific tools for live captioning. Please note that the ACMEGO44K does require software such as Wirecast (TEWCSW) or Vmix (VMSCSIVMIX4K) for full operation.
