Datavideo’s HS-1500T hand-carry mobile switcher supports full 1080p video and is designed for broadcast of live events and TV programs, which require a wide variety of video and audio sources.
The HS-1500T is also a highly valuable solution for the worship, education, and AV markets.
Its built-in HDBaseT technology allows receiving of 1080p signals from three PTC-150T HDBaseT PTZ cameras via CAT6 or above cable. It features PoE to provide power to three PTC-150T cameras, making installation fast and easy.
The HS-1500T also features an audio mixer with balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA au-dio inputs. Other features include PIP, wipe generator, and tally.
One of the best features of the HS-1500T is the integrated joystick, which allows the user to pan, tilt, and zoom the PTC-150T cameras. In addition, users can adjust the PTC-150T’s focus, iris, and other settings remotely using the HS-1500T.
