Description
The SHOWCAST 100 is an all-in-one 4K 4-channel touchscreen switcher designed to simplify live production workflows. It combines switching, graphics overlay, camera control, streaming and recording in a single compact chassis. The 14-inch touch panel presents an intuitive tablet-like interface that allows operators to manage complex productions quickly and efficiently.
Key capabilities include multi-source video switching, two methods of subtitle overlay, built-in dual streaming encoders and integrated audio mixing. The unit supports real-time PTZ camera control for up to three cameras and offers direct access to auto tracking functions via external controllers. Operators can save lens position presets, adjust white balance, iris and mirror mode from the front panel.
Video performance supports Ultra HD 4K at 50/60 Hz including 4K60p switching and HDMI I/O connectivity. Recording and streaming use H.265/H.264 encoding and the system can record while streaming using the internal encoders. Smart PTZ speed adaptation employs a PID algorithm to smooth pan, tilt and zoom movements and reduce jerky or halted lens motion.
Connectivity includes multiple 4K HDMI inputs and outputs plus RJ45 control for PTZ cameras and network streaming. The HBT-30 link supplies power, Ultra HD 4K50/60 video and camera control to devices up to 100 meters and provides simultaneous HDMI, RS-422 and IP control signals. SD card recorder compatibility via HDR-2 enables 4K50/60P recording and playback without a computer.
The SHOWCAST 100 is well suited to corporate presentations, houses of worship, conference rooms and live events where a compact production solution is needed. It supports capture, create and distribution workflows by combining switching, streaming, recording and camera control in one unit. The integrated subtitle and graphics functions streamline content delivery for events that need branded overlays or captioning.
Setup and operation are designed for fast deployment and minimal external hardware. The lightweight, portable chassis and tablet-style touchscreen reduce the need for additional controllers, while preset recall and direct camera control speed daily operation. Robust build and professional I/O ensure reliable performance in on-site and installed AV environments.
