All-in-One 4K Production Studio
 
Datavideo's HS-4000 is an all-in-one 4K production studio designed to provide users with a comprehensive solution for producing and broadcasting content in 4K resolution. The HS-4000 combines features such as video switchers, audio mixers, monitor, recorder, and streaming encoder into a single integrated unit, making it easier for users to create high-quality content without needing to assemble a complex setup from various individual production devices.
 
Recording and Live Streaming
The HS-4000 features easy-to-use recording and live streaming encoders. This functionality enables simultaneous live broadcasting and recording of high-quality MP4 files with audio-video synchronization. This dual capability is ideal for archiving and post-event editing.
 
High-Quality Video Support
The mobile studio supports video resolutions of up to UHD 4K60. This high-resolution capability ensures that the output video quality is crisp and detailed, suitable for professional-level productions.
Intuitive Touchscreen
 
A 5" touchscreen with customizable icons provides intuitive control over various functions and settings, enhancing the user experience and ease of operation without the need of a laptop or an app to assist with your live production.

With many built-in functions, including user memory with customized icon, transition animation setup, chroma key, luma key, DSK, PIP, wipe generator, still stores, and logo insertion; these can all be done on the 5" LCD touchscreen.

Simple One-Button-One-Function
The easy-to-use user interface is intuitive, so you don't need complicated composite buttons to activate various switching effects, including video effects, that are usually activated in a number of steps. They can all be saved in one user memory slot and with the assigned icon, you can easily identify the settings saved therein.
 
Versatile Video Inputs
 
The HS-4000 accepts video inputs from various sources, including computers, multimedia players with HDMI 2.0 output, and 12G-SDI cameras. Upon connection, the 10-bit broadcast-quality video is displayed instantaneously at no expense of resolution, speed, and frame rate.

This versatility allows for seamless integration of different devices and sources into the production workflow. The HS-4000 has 12 video inputs (8 are selectable for flexibility), plus a variety of video and audio inputs and outputs including 7 outs with AUX assignment.

True 12G 4K 50/60 Video Production Switcher
Inputs and outputs on the HS-4000 support UHD 4K60/50 signals. It also has built-in input scaling, for up-conversion on each available input.
 
12-Channel Application Built upon an 8 Video Switching Design
Switching between 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 on four shared channels is responsive and seamless. By upgrading from 8 channels to a 12-channel machine, it adds greater versatility to your hardware connections and more possibilities to live program production.
 
Plug-and-Play
There is no need to install the driver to connect with the laptop. The images and videos can be directly input to the switcher through the HDMI interface of the laptop.
 
Integrated 4K UHD Monitor
Equipped with a high-quality 17.3-inch 4K UHD monitor, the mobile studio provides a multi-view display that allows producers and operators to monitor multiple video sources simultaneously, ensuring smooth production execution. The 4K monitor has four times the resolution of a Full HD monitor, resulting in much sharper and more detailed images.

The increased pixel density of a 4K monitor yields smaller individual pixels, resulting in sharper text, images, and graphics. The higher resolution improves productivity, as you can have multiple windows open side by side without sacrificing legibility or clarity.

Varieties of 3D PIP Configurations
The two built-in PIP windows can be overlaid on one another. In addition to the default corner places, you can further change the window's size, position, and display ratio. You can also crop the window to make it square. By adding a shaded border, you will then be able to fully generate an advanced 3D PIP window with a self-defined border color.
 
WIPE Transition Effects
There is a total of 64 wipe transition effects designed for different TV programs. The WIPE transition is a very crucial element in program production. The HS-4000 provides 64 eye-catching WIPE effects with configurable border color and width. The border can be further softened to make the WIPE effect unique.
 
Still Image Thumbnails
Save up to 250 4K still images such as sequential program images, images of various scenarios, full size logos, school or faculty badges, and more. You can also capture important moments of your program and save these images for post-edits.
 
Lumakey, Chromakey, Linear Key, and Downstream Key
The HS-4000 comes with a built-in web-ready recorder. Simply insert your SD card, and you'll have video files that can be immediately uploaded to the video network of your choice or to your website.
 
Professional Audio-to-Video Synchronization
There are times when video and audio become out of sync during video production or live video streaming. Most users would feel annoyed when such an issue arises. Videos are usually processed at 25 or 50 frames per second and the audio is delivered in milliseconds.

Due to different processing times and network latencies, you will thus receive out-of-sync video and audio. The HS-4000's professional built-in audio delayer is designed to ensure precise audio-to-video synchronization by delaying and calibrating the audio received.

Virtual Sets
In addition to user saved still images, the HS-4000 also provides up to 10 sets and 40 high-quality 4K virtual sets for left, front, right, and long shot auxiliary cameras. They are designed for video conferences and interview programs.
 
Chroma Key
The HS-4000 supports up to four channels of switchable chromakey with unique "key tie" functionality. Create a complete 4-channel virtual studio and enjoy automatic chromakey functions.
 
Fully Customizable
Save camera and keyer settings in user memory presets (up to 125 available). Choose from 380 icons to better identify settings saved in user memory slots.
 
SRT Streaming Protocol
Streaming RTMP over unreliable, low-bandwidth networks can cause issues. With dvCloud, you can now replace the RTMP protocol with SRT, which will fix most streaming issues you may have. SRT is better than RTMP because it handles problematic networks more efficiently.
