All 2600 series switchers have built-in support for Datavideo CG software. This unique feature converts a regular HDMI output of a PC or laptop into a fully-fledged CG interface for use with Datavideo’s CG suites. Free CG-200 software included.
The HS-1400 features dedicated physical buttons for instant, one-touch auto-tracking control.
Choose from three talent positions — center, left, or right — and three framing options — full-body, half-body, or close-up. Pan, tilt, and zoom speeds are independently selectable between fast, medium, and slow, giving operators precise, real-time camera control without taking their eyes off the production.
The HS-1400’s dedicated framing buttons let operators instantly switch between full-body, half-body, and close-up shots with a single press, adapting to any scene without interrupting the live production flow.
Talent positioning depends more on a videographer’s creativity than strict rules. A centered composition provides stability and balance, ideal for highlighting the subject. Alternatively, placing talent on the left or right third creates a sense of direction or hints at future possibilities through their line of sight.
If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for Auto tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.
The HS-1400's Web UI gives operators remote access to all essential production functions — switch between camera angles, manage auto tracking settings, control PTZ movement, select media files and still images, all from any browser-connected device without touching the physical panel.
Many broadcasters have experienced pixelated video during live streaming, often due to unstable network environments caused by bandwidth volatility.
Streaming RTMP over unreliable, low-bandwidth networks can cause issues. With dvCloud, you can now replace the RTMP protocol with SRT, which will fix most streaming issues you may have. SRT is better than RTMP because it handles problematic networks more efficiently.
It requires less bandwidth, and it solves data errors faster. As a result, your viewers will experience a better stream, with less buffering and pixelization.
Get the most out of your streaming hardware using DVCloud. The HS-1400 is seamlessly compatible with Datavideo’s DVCloud service.
This subscription service give you the possibility of sending your stream to multiple destinations at the same time without having to have multiple hardware encoders.
You can also record your production on the DVCloud platform in h.264 format. After recording you can directly use this recording to upload it to your favourite content platform.
Direct SRT streaming to dvCloud prevents hickups and lag in your stream, especially when using slow or unreliable internet connections or when streaming large distances (for instance to the other side of the globe). Even if your destination does not support SRT you can still stream SRT to dvCloud and go to the destination in RTMP.
dvCloud Professional (please refer to www.dvcloud.tv for more info) can stream to 25 platforms simultaneously. It can stream to either different platforms or different channels of the same platform. Thus, even if your local network bandwidth is limited, you can still stream to multiple platforms at the same time with dvCloud.
dvCloud provides powerful real-time statistics for all video sources and destinations so you can be sure every frame reaches its destination:

Datavideo's wide range of encoders, cameras, and hand-carry switchers are fully supported by SRT and dvCloud. Datavideo encoders and dvCloud provide reliable streams over unreliable networks. By using a Datavideo encoder and dvCloud together, you can utilize SRT (instead of RTMP) on the initial problematic connection or "First Mile." After your video stream reaches dvCloud, you can depend on dvCloud's reliable, high-bandwidth network to deliver the stream to your favorite destinations, like Facebook and YouTube.
