PVC writer calls NAB 2017 the “Year of Affordable Multi-Camera Production”
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.
Instant replay is an essential part of quality sports programming. New lower budget options are now available to help smaller venues and schools do instant replay. This is giving these smaller production added entertainment value while also providing officials the ability to review plays.
The Datavideo PTC-150 camera is a robotic pan/tilt/zoom camera, able to pan, tilt, and zoom via remote control with programmable presets. Four PTC-150 cameras were used for all the performances at NAMM 2016. They are operated by the Datavideo RMC-180 remote controller, and one camera operator can control all four cameras via ethernet connection. Presets were created for musicians and stage positions, and the cameras were able to change angles quickly to get the same type of live coverage 6-8 cameras would be able to get in most productions.
