Control your PTZ cameras, switch between different sources, and live stream your program with this 8-Channel Touch Broadcast Switcher and PTZ Controller with NDI HX from Jimcom. This portable switcher/controller unit has an HDMI input and an HDMI output and handles as many as eight video inputs at up to 1080p60 resolution when using the RJ45 port for IP and NDI connectivity, which also provides PTZ camera control. An integrated joystick gives PTZ camera users control over zoom, auto and manual focus, white balance, iris, shutter, gain, and more.
The panel has an integrated 4-channel audio mixer and a full HD, 10.1" display for previewing all the incoming sources and for switching as needed for different types of programming. Custom overlay content and text and logos are supported with a T-bar, facilitating manual control of transition special effects. A headphone output on the surface of the panel allows users to monitor audio. There is a port on the rear of the unit for tally connectivity. Live streaming uses H.264 and H.265 video encoding with bitrates between 512 and 16384 kb/s, and the network streaming protocols employed are RTSP, RTMP, and NDI|HX.
