Streamstar's new X4: 2RU and 4 inputs
Streamstar has an interesting new product cued up for NAB: a rack-mounted unit called the X4 that promises, as you would suspect, to provide you with everything you need to live stream a four camera production.
Well, not quite everything, a keyboard and monitors cost extra, but the 2RU system does feature touchscreen control that allows for single operator operation of the company’s impressively full-functioned SW production software.
It has a good variety of inputs — 4x HD-SDI, 1x HDMI, 4x IP Stream, and also accepts IP Video Stream Inputs from JVC streaming camcorders — while it can stream out at up to 720@50/60p @ 10Mbps (though it will happily record 1080p.
Graphically, it provides 4 layers of DSK with full transparency support and offers full 4:4:4:4 / ARGB / progressive video processing. Audio is via an integrated, full featured audio mixer with monitoring, audio follow video, muting, peaking etc. A dedicated Streamstar SW colour coded keyboard is available as an optional accessory which amps up the productivity with highlighted custom key commands.
it’s not necessarily confined to rack space either, the company pointing out that it can be converted to a mobile production studio all of its own by simply enclosing it in a hard case with an HDMI monitor to produce an extremely portable streaming system.
More after the break.
