Datavideo KMU-100 4K Multi Camera Unit

OVERVIEW
The Datavideo DATA-KMU100 (DATAKMU100) KMU-100 UltraHD to HD Multiviewer Converter is a game-changing accessory for multi-camera production. It allows users to generate up to eight cutouts out of one or two 4K inputs, providing more live video switching choices.

With support for conversion from two 4K SDI or HDMI inputs to eight 3G-SDI video outputs, the KMU-100 makes it easier to switch between different camera angles. It also features an 8 channel switcher, allowing users to view two 4K video channels simultaneously on the multiview monitor and switch between them effortlessly.

The KMU-100 also enables users to create speed sensitive motion paths, simulating real-time lens movement for a more dynamic production. This can be done by selecting cutouts from the 4K inputs and displaying them in smaller windows for easier switching.

Designed by Datavideo, a leader in camera control units and hardware, the KMU-100 is a must-have for any professional multi-camera production. It has been shortlisted for the IABM’s 2016 Game Changer Award and has won 3 independent awards at NAB 2016.

With the KMU-100, multi-camera production becomes more efficient and cost-effective. It eliminates the need for multiple cameras, as a single 4K camera can be used to deliver a true 4-camera HD production. The setup is quick and easy, saving time, money, and resources.

For added convenience, the Datavideo RMC-185 camera controller can be integrated with the KMU-100. This allows for easy panning, tilting, and zooming to create user-defined windows on the 4K signal. Users can also save preset shots or make adjustments in real-time for a seamless production experience.

About The Datavideo KMU-100 4K Multi Camera Unit
DATAVIDEO’S GROUND-BREAKING 4K MULTI-CAMERA UNIT
Shortlisted for the IABM’s 2016 Game Changer Award, and winner of 3 independent awards at NAB 2016, the KMU-100 is a unique 4K multi-camera production solution that delivers multiple virtual full HD (up to 1080p) scaled camera angles with minimal installation cost and simple operation.

The basic concept is straightforward: the output of a single 4K/UHD camera is connected to KMU-100, which then displays up to four 16×9 user-defined cropped windows that are sent out as four separate HD signals through 3G HD-SDI. These user defined windows can be scaled to zoom in on a particular subject that you would like to highlight on the 4K signal. An additional 4K camera can be connected to allow up to eight defined outputs from the two 4K signals.

MULTI-CAMERA PRODUCTION FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
In essence, with KMU-100 a single 4K camera can be used to deliver a true 4-camera HD production, without the need to install, manage, operate and balance multiple cameras. KMU-100 is quick to set up and exceptionally easy to use. It saves time, money and resources: with the KMU-100, all you have to do it set up, cable, power and control just one camera.

As an option, the Datavideo RMC-185 camera controller can be added to easily pan, tilt, and zoom to create the user defined windows on the 4K signal.

You can set up shots in advance and save them as presets, or you can do it in real-time.
