JVC Professional Video introduces the Studio 6000S compact live production and streaming studio, part of JVC’s Connected Cam ecosystem at the 2019 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nev. Designed for sports, church, and other live production environments, the self-contained control room features a production switcher with six IP inputs that support NDI as well as the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) streaming protocols.
“The Studio 6000S is another important step toward a complete IP production workflow for news, sports, worship, and other markets,” says Joe D’Amico, vice president, JVC Professional Video, a division of JVCKenwood USA Corporation,. “It’s an economical solution for live production that really allows our customers to deliver more dynamic multi-camera coverage with smaller crews.”
The new system is touchscreen-driven and easily operated by church technical volunteers. It’s also designed to maximize IP workflows and supports HD-SDI and HDMI sources. Other integrated features include an audio mixer, internal CG (character generator) with templates, four layers of DSK (down stream keying), and clip store with playback.
With a built-in H.264 encoder, the Studio 6000S supports up to 1080p streaming at up to 10 Mbps, with RTMP and MPEG-TS simultaneous output and direct streaming integration to Facebook Live and other CDNs (content delivery networks). Output choices include dedicated HD-SDI and HDMI ports, plus an HDMI display port for multi-view or program monitoring. The system also includes simultaneous ISO recording of all cameras, plus users can record the program output and streaming output.
JVC’s exclusive Zero Config features provides automatic, one-click configuration of any IP-enabled JVC camera that joins the same LAN as other JVC cameras. The Studio 6000S also offers integrated remote control for JVC cameras, including full PTZ control for the KY-PZ100 robotic PTZ production camera.
The Connected Cam Studio 6000S (KM-IP600) has an MSRP of $13,000 and will be available in June. JVC also offers two four-input production systems, the ProHD Studio 4000 and ProHD Studio 4000S, which were introduced last year.
