The Future of Efficient 4K Production

The Datavideo KMU-100 is a revolutionary 4K production solution designed to maximize your visual output while minimizing hardware costs. By utilizing high-resolution 4K sensors, the KMU-100 allows you to define up to four 16:9 cropped windows from a single camera feed. These "virtual cameras" are then scaled and sent out as independent 1080p60 HD-SDI signals. For larger productions, a second 4K input can be added, providing a total of eight distinct camera angles from just two physical sources.

Cinematic Control and Preset Versatility

Precision is at your fingertips with the KMU-100. When paired with the optional Datavideo RMC-185 or RMC-180 series controllers, operators can treat each virtual window like a real PTZ camera. You can pan, tilt, and zoom within the 4K canvas in real-time to follow the action or frame subjects perfectly. For fast-paced environments like houses of worship or live sports, you can save these customized angles as presets, allowing for instant transitions between wide shots and tight close-ups.

Professional Signal Integrity and Routing

Engineered for the broadcast rack, the KMU-100 integrates seamlessly into professional SDI workflows. Each virtual HD output is delivered via dedicated HD-SDI ports, making them immediately available to your main production switcher as separate camera inputs. This eliminates the need for multiple camera operators and complex cabling, providing a high-end multicamera look with a significantly smaller footprint.

Versatile Applications for Modern Broadcasters

Whether you are covering a panel discussion, a musical performance, or a religious service, the KMU-100 adapts to your needs. Its ability to create "virtual" coverage is especially beneficial in venues where placing multiple physical cameras is difficult or impossible. By capturing the entire scene in 4K, the KMU-100 ensures that every cropped HD angle retains professional-grade detail and sharpness, giving your audience a dynamic and engaging viewing experience.
