The Datavideo ShowCast-100 is a 4K, 4-channel touch panel switcher designed to centralize live production tasks. It brings seven major production functions into a single unit, letting you switch video sources, manage overlays, control cameras, stream, record, and mix audio from one touchscreen interface.
The ShowCast-100 features seven major functions, including:
The unit uses a 14-inch touch panel that works similar to a tablet. Therefore, you get easy and intuitive access to the switcher functions. This touchscreen layout helps operators perform tasks quickly and reduces the learning curve.
Using the ShowCast-100 is as easy as using a tablet. As a result, you can produce professional video productions even without prior knowledge of how to use a traditional video mixer. This makes the unit suitable for teams that need reliable results with minimal setup time and training.
The ShowCast-100 provides 4K HDMI connections for both inputs and outputs. These connections let you link the unit to a 4K projector or an IMAG screen. In addition, RJ45 connections allow control of up to three PTZ cameras via serial protocol, so you can manage remote camera movement directly from the switcher.
