Datavideo HS-1600T MKII – HDBaseT Production Unit

OVERVIEW
The HS-1600T MARK II brings a new level of simplicity to production workflows. You’ll set up faster and easier thanks to its portable “briefcase” design and HDBaseT Technology. And thanks to its built-in H.264 web streaming encoder, you can stream your show to virtually any CDN like YouTube and Facebook in no time. This versatile device also offers a variety of video and audio inputs and outputs, including 4 video inputs (RJ-45 x 3 + HDMI x 1), 4 video (HDMI x 3)+HDBaseT outputs, and audio inputs of XLR Analogue x 2 + RCA Analogue (L/R) x 2.

The HS-1600T MARK II is made with HDBaseT Technology, allowing for camera connections to be done with just one Ethernet cable for each camera. This saves time and reduces setup complexity, making it easier to mount cameras in challenging locations without nearby power outlets. The device also features a built-in camera control interface for up to 3 Datavideo PTZ cameras, a built-in H.264 recorder for SD cards, and a dual stream encoder for streaming to multiple platforms at once. With its compatibility with dvCloud, the HS-1600T MARK II offers a reliable SRT live streaming workflow, making it a valuable tool for any production team.

About The Datavideo HS-1600T MKII – HDBaseT Production Unit
The HS-1600T MARK II brings a new level of simplicity to production workflows. You’ll set up faster and easier thanks to its portable “briefcase” design and HDBaseT Technology. And thanks to its built-in H.264 web streaming encoder, you can stream your show to virtually any CDN like YouTube and Facebook in no time.

Variety of video (4:4:4 10-bit) and audio inputs/outputs

4 video inputs (RJ-45 x 3 + HDMI x 1)
4 video (HDMI x 3)+HDBaseT outputs
Video Sampling in 4:4:4 10-bit
Audio inputs: XLR Analogue x 2 + RCA Analogue (L/R) x 2

Made with HDBaseT Technology

Camera connections typically require one cable for video, a second cable for power, and a third one for control. However, the HS-1600T MARK II is able to do all of the above using only one ethernet cable for each camera.
This increase in flexibility greatly reduces setup time, and now you can mount the camera in challenging locations (like spots without nearby power outlets)

Built-in camera control

The HS-1600T MARK II’s next generation design saves you time, money, and table space with its built-in camera control interface for up to 3 Datavideo PTZ cameras.
(Works with PTC-140T and PTC-150TL)

Built-in H.264 recorder for SD cards

The HS-1600T MARK II 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.

Dual Stream encoder to Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitch, and more

With the built-in H.264 streaming encoder, you can stream your show to two different streaming plateforms virtually any CDN including Facebook, YouTube or Twitch in no time.

Support SRT streaming protocol, no need to worry about unreliable network environment

Many broadcasters have experienced pixelated video during live streaming, often due to unstable network environments caused by bandwidth volatility.
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. It requires less bandwidth, and it solves data errors faster.
As a result, your viewers will experience a better stream, with less buffering and pixelization.

Seamlessly compatible with dvCloud

Get the most out of your streaming hardware using DVCloud. The HS-1600T MARK II is seamlessly compatible with Datavideo’s DVCloud service.
This subscription service give you the possibility of sending your stream to multiple destinations at the same time without having to have multiple hardware encoders.
You can also record your production on the DVCloud platform in h.264 format. After recording you can directly use this recording to upload it to your favourite content platform.
Direct SRT streaming to dvCloud prevents hickups and lag in your stream, especially when using slow or unreliable internet connections or when streaming large distances (for instance to the other side of the globe). Even if your destination does not support SRT you can still stream SRT to dvCloud and go to the destination in RTMP.

Stream to 25 Platforms Simultaneously (dv Cloud Professional)

dvCloud Professional (please refer to www.dvcloud.tv for more info) can stream to 25 platforms simultaneously. It can stream to either different platforms or different channels of the same platform. Thus, even if your local network bandwidth is limited, you can still stream to multiple platforms at the same time with dvCloud.

Real Time Statistics

dvCloud provides powerful real-time statistics for all video sources and destinations so you can be sure every frame reaches its destination:
Monitor your video sources and be sure every frame makes it to the cloud
Leave nothing to chance, check your networks performance and adjust your streaming settings before you go live
Monitor your NVD-3X MARK II decoders and be sure every frame makes it to the decoder
Monitor your streaming destinations in real time with our easy-to-use traffic light system
All statistics are graphed, you can see the previous 10 minutes statistics.

Build a reliable SRT live streaming workflow with all Datavideo products.

Datavideo’s wide range of encoders, cameras, and hand-carry switchers are fully supported by SRT and dvCloud. Datavideo encoders and dvCloud provide reliable streams over unreliable networks. By using a Datavideo encoder and dvCloud together, you can utilize SRT (instead of RTMP) on the initial problematic connection or “First Mile.” After your video stream reaches dvCloud, you can depend on dvCloud’s reliable, high-bandwidth network to deliver the stream to your favorite destinations, like Facebook and YouTube.
