Datavideo HS-1600T Mark II 4-Channel HDBaseT Streaming Studio

The Datavideo HS-1600T Mark II 4-Channel HDBaseT Streaming Studio combines video switching, PTZ camera control, H.264 streaming, and SD-card recording in a portable production system. It accepts three HDBaseT camera feeds plus one HDMI source, switches HD and SD formats through 1080p60, and includes a 17.3-inch 1920 x 1080 multiview monitor.

Designed for houses of worship, schools, corporate events, government productions, live performances, and mobile broadcasting, the system reduces setup complexity by carrying video, camera power, and control over HDBaseT connections. Built-in joystick PTZ operation, transition controls, an audio mixer, and multiple program outputs make it practical for single-operator live production and portable multicamera streaming workflows.

The current HS-1600T Mark II platform also supports Auto Tracking camera control with compatible Datavideo PTZ systems, with a firmware update available for earlier units. H.264/AVC encoding, dual-stream capability, SRT, RTMP/RTMPS, HLS, RTSP, SD recording, balanced XLR audio, tally, and web-based configuration provide a professional toolset for integrated streaming and recording applications.
