This bundle delivers a production-ready package that combines Datavideo’s HS-3200 MobileCast workstation with three PTC-140 PTZ cameras, a dedicated camera controller and rugged transport cases. It targets small to medium sized productions that need broadcast-quality video, flexible input capacity and durable transport solutions.
BDL-1603 is a complete production ready bundle that ships with three cameras and a camera controller. The HS-3200 serves as the central MobileCast workstation with streaming and recording built in. This bundle suits any small to medium sized production that requires broadcast quality video and portable operation. You can connect up to 12 cameras or other sources to the HS-3200, expanding the system beyond the three included PTC-140 cameras.
The HS-3200 brings a portable workflow in a suitcase-style chassis while retaining professional broadcast features. It includes chromakeying and extensive picture-in-picture (PiP) options. Because it has a built-in H.264 web streaming encoder, you can stream to common CDNs such as YouTube and Facebook directly from the unit. The HS-3200 supports up to 12 Full HD inputs and outputs and features an input scaler that performs up- and down-conversion on each available input. Cross point assignment is managed via the switcher’s on-screen display (OSD).
The included PTC-140 cameras provide Full HD video and flexible zoom capability. Key camera features are:
The RMC-300A is Datavideo’s digital camera controller included in this bundle. It operates in fully digital mode and supports control via serial or DVIP over a network. The controller allows assignment of up to 24 cameras, enabling centralized control for multi-camera setups.
The bundle includes heavy duty carrying solutions designed for mobile productions. The cases are made from super-strong polypropylene and offer protection against shock, vibration, dust and rust. They are sealed for moisture protection and include a handy pull-out handle and wheels for easier transport. A laser-cut foam inlay precisely fits three PTC-140 cameras including cables. The HC-650 is described as fitting the RMC-300A and functions as a regular handheld briefcase model. HC-800 and HC-600 are mentioned as the carrying solutions for this bundle and provide room for three cameras, the controller and extra space for cables.
Cables are situation specific and therefore not included with the bundle. Datavideo recommends using high quality SDI cables up to 100 meters for reliable connections between cameras and the HS-3200.
