Datavideo has once again demonstrated its exceptional technical strength and innovation by standing out in the highly competitive 33rd Taiwan Excellence Awards. Two of its most popular 4K switchers, the SHOWCAST 100 and HS-4000, have won the 33rd Taiwan Excellence Awards, showcasing Datavideo's strong capabilities in producing professional video equipment.
The “All-in-One” switcher series is one of Datavideo's most popular and iconic product lines. These switchers offer an efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-use video production solution by integrating complex EFP workflow into a single platform. Whether for professional live event broadcasting, corporate meetings, educational videos, or other institutions looking for efficient video production, Datavideo's All-in-One switchers enhance production efficiency and quality, offering users more creative space to produce high-quality video content.
The Datavideo SHOWCAST 100 integrates seven key functions—video switching, graphics overlay, camera control, streaming, touchscreen interface, recording, and audio mixing—into one 4K switcher. Its intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to operate and perfectly pairs with Datavideo's auto-tracking PTZ cameras. By controlling the PTZ cameras through the SHOWCAST 100, the camera's auto-framing, tracking, and speed are as smooth and natural as those operated by a professional camera operator, providing stable and high-quality footage. The SHOWCAST 100 significantly reduces both equipment needs and workforce costs for live video production teams, allowing even a single director to manage the whole EFP workflow effortlessly.
The HS-4000 is a portable, powerful 4K 8-channel mobile studio for on-site live production. It combines video switching, monitoring, recording, and streaming into one compact system with a carry-case design for easy transport and setup. Supporting up to 4K 60FPS resolution, it accepts input from HDMI 2.0 devices and 12G-SDI cameras. In addition to traditional physical buttons, a 5-inch touchscreen enhances the user experience with intuitive control over various functions and settings, making it ideal video production equipment for the demands of 4K multimedia production.
The Taiwan Excellence Awards are regarded as the highest benchmark for product quality and innovation in Taiwan. Thousands of products are submitted for the award each year. Entries are evaluated based on four primary criteria: R&D, Design, Quality, and Marketing, with only products meeting international standards making the cut. This year's SHOWCAST 100 and HS-4000 recognition highlights the industry's strong endorsement of Datavideo. Moreover, for the first time, the evaluation committee included ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles in the evaluation criteria, focusing on long-term sustainability strategies. Datavideo's success amid these stringent standards is a testament to its technological innovation and excellence in sustainable development.
Angela Lin, Director of Marketing and Sales at Datavideo, stated that the company will showcase these two award-winning products at several international exhibitions, allowing professional video producers and creators worldwide to experience the outstanding performance and innovative value of the SHOWCAST 100 and HS-4000 firsthand. "This award marks a significant milestone for Datavideo's next-generation switchers and highlights our industry-leading innovation in professional video production technology, earning high recognition from the industry," Lin remarked.
