Videobotics Unveils Cosmos SE MultiCamera Switcher Software
July 20, 2004
Whittier, CA - Cosmos is a newly-introduced interactive multi-camera control system for the Datavideo SE800 broadcast video switcher.
By adding the Windows-based software to the Datavideo SE800, along with pan/tilt/zoom cameras from Sony or Elmo, a GUI control panel lets users position, zoom, and focus cameras while they are in 'preview', under computer control.
Datavideo's SE800 (and SE800DV) switchers offer a full broadcast-quality four-camera portable desktop video capability, with built-in frame-sync on all channels.
They have dissolve, cut and fades, zooms and wipes, chroma key and more than 50 built-in effects, such as mosaic, picture-in-picture (PIP), strobe, paint/posterization, easily programmed into the SE-800's 30 playback function keys.
The SE-800's built-in format converters manage any combination of up to four simultaneous analog and digital audio and video inputs and outputs, the manufacturer describes. Its dual-channel time base corrector (TBC) with YUV 4:2:2 frame synchronizers are designed for composite, S-Video (Y/C) and component (YUV) input/output assuring stable and high quality video images from any source.
The SE-800 can also serve as a sync reference for analog cameras, video projectors and scan converters. SE-800 data includes an SDI input/output port (for serial digital video) that can connect to an optional graphics card enabling real time video overlays of titles and graphics and titles that are generated from a linked PC.
Included with the SE-800 is a rugged carrying case, a 115/240 VAC power supply and four 6/4 DV adapters.
