The Datavideo HS-1300 6-Channel HD Portable Video Streaming Studio can switch up to six live 1080i or 720p HD video inputs while recording and streaming the program feed. Effectively, this makes the HS-1300 a portable TV studio that you can take anywhere and set up with minimal effort or extra equipment. Four SDI and two HDMI inputs can be connected to cameras or other consumer or professional video sources. Audio can be brought in from a separately available mixing board via a pair of XLR inputs. Recording and streaming uses the ubiquitous H.264 format, at up to 10 Mb/s. A single mix-effect bus features two upstream keyers, two downstream keyers with linear and luma key modes, wipe, cut, and mix transitions, plus one picture-in-picture, and all with full preview. Concert productions, events, houses of worship, and educational institutions with live sports programming are some of the few use cases where the HS-1300 could be useful. When it's time to wrap production, close the 17.3" screen, unplug the video sources, and carry the switcher using the built-in handle, like a suitcase.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. weather resistance? or rain gear?

A: The Datavideo HDBaseT PTZ Camera with 20x Optical Zoom is not weather resistant. There is no dedicated rain cover but a generic rain cover will suffice.

Q: 2. Am I reading correctly that the SE-650 is able to embed auxiliary audio input on the HDMI output, but not on the SDI output?

A: We're not quite clear as to where you were reading that, but according to the manufacturer, audio may be embedded on all digital outputs.

Q: 3. Will the Datavideo DE-650 record each input into a separate MP4 video file?

A: Unfortunately it will not. That is not possible with this switcher. For ISO recording of each input you'd need to look at Software and Computer Based Switching solutions. The Telestream Wirecast Gear 110 is a great option to consider, BH #TEWCGEAR110. https://bhpho.to/2kPYog8

Q: 4. Can I input a browser? I've created a scoreboard, controlled via smartphone, I click +/- on it for scoring, it updates on a website and I can insert it in the LIVE, using it in vMix and Livestream Studio. Can it be done here?

A: This switcher has 2 HDMI inputs which you will be able to use to bring in the video from a computer with an HDMI output. We have a diagram shown on our website that shows a computer connected to the switcher. If the score board program you have offers a white or black background you would be able to key it in. https://bit.ly/2HRABWZ

Q: 6. Does the mixer have an option to turn on/off HDCP?

A: We're afraid not. This switcher does not offer HDCP controls, you will not be able to connect HDCP compatible products to it. Instead you could look at the Roland V-1HD Portable 4 x HDMI Input Switcher, which allows for HDCP compliance to be enabled. https://bhpho.to/2gRuG3C
