Datavideo BDL-1607 Bundle — Showcast 100 with 3× PTC-280 PTZ Cameras in HC-800 Case

The Datavideo BDL-1607 is a complete, production-ready bundle that combines a Showcast 100 UHD production station with three PTC-280 professional PTZ cameras, all packed in an HC-800 carrying case. This package gives you an integrated solution for small to medium sized UHD productions, with camera control, streaming and recording built into the workstation.

What’s included in the bundle

• Showcast 100 — the central 4K production workstation with an integrated camera controller, streaming and recording capabilities.
• Three PTC-280 cameras — Datavideo’s 4K50/60p PTZ cameras designed for professional remote operation.
• HC-800 case — a dedicated carrying solution with room for three cameras, power supplies and additional cable storage.

Showcast 100 — all-in-one 4K production studio

The Showcast 100 serves as the bundle’s control hub. It is a 4K 4-channel all-in-one production studio that features seven major functions. In practice, this means you can handle multiple core production tasks from a single unit.

Specifically, the Showcast 100 lets you:

• Switch video sources across up to four channels.
• Overlay text and graphics for titles and lower thirds.
• Control connected cameras directly from the workstation.
• Live stream to online platforms.
• Record program output locally.
• Mix audio within the unit.

Moreover, the Showcast 100 includes a 14-inch touch panel that provides intuitive, tablet-like access to switcher functions. You can trigger camera presets from the touchscreen. In addition, the Showcast 100 accepts an extra HDMI source for presentations or titles and supports luminance keying (lumakey) to insert those sources into your program output.

PTC-280 PTZ cameras — 4K50/60p remote operation

The bundle’s three PTC-280 cameras deliver 4K50/60p capture and integrate with the Showcast 100 for streamlined control. Datavideo designed this PTZ lineup to support flexible control options and modern streaming workflows.

Control options for the PTC-280 include:

• Traditional RS-422 serial port control.
• IP remote control using DVIP (Datavideo proprietary protocol).
• IP remote control using Sony VISCA over IP.

For streaming, the PTC-280 series supports dual streaming output for A/V market applications. Consequently, you can stream to platforms such as Facebook (RTMPS) and YouTube at the same time. The cameras also integrate with Datavideo’s dvCloud service.

HC-800 carrying case — organized transport and storage

The HC-800 case provides a practical transport solution for the entire bundle. It contains dedicated space for three cameras and their power supplies, and it leaves extra room for cables and accessories. This makes the bundle easier to move between locations while keeping gear organized and protected.

Designed for small to medium sized UHD productions

Together, the Showcast 100 and three PTC-280 cameras make a cohesive system for UHD production. The components work together so you can control cameras from the workstation, trigger presets from the 14" touch screen, stream and record, and carry everything securely in the HC-800 case.
