Why the America's Largest Music Trade Show Chose the Datavideo HS-3200 Mobile Studio

The annual music industry flagship event, the NAMM Show (National Association of Music Merchants), kicked off in California, attracting over 100,000 visitors during its week-long run!

The 2019 NAMM Show not only drew larger crowds but also introduced bigger stages, massive display screens, and expanded lighting setups, featuring over 20 live bands performing in front of audiences reaching into the thousands.

Eight cameras were deployed across the large-scale concert to capture the excitement of the event from multiple angles, while three massive LED screens were erected behind the stage to ensure the live audience could enjoy the broadcast from every viewpoint. To create a dynamic visual presentation, the switcher needed not only to seamlessly transition between multiple video sources in real time, but also to support graphic overlays and titling.

For this year's NAMM Show, the production team once again selected the HS-3200—Datavideo’s flagship portable video studio—to handle the live production of its musical performances. What makes the HS-3200 stand out? How does it effortlessly manage the heavy demands of large-scale event production? Let Rob from Datavideo walk you through all the details!

Equipped with 8 SDI and 4 HDMI inputs, the HS-3200 supports multi-camera setups, providing technical directors with rich video source options for seamless switching. Furthermore, with its 9 output signals, operators can select two dedicated outputs to overlay custom graphics and feed them directly to two massive live displays on site. Featuring 10-bit 4:2:2 video processing, the HS-3200 generates pristine 1080p 60fps high-quality video while simultaneously recording to an SD card in real time—allowing production teams to hand off finished video files to performing bands or clients immediately after the show wraps.

The HS-3200 Portable Video Streaming Studio is an all-in-one solution integrating switching, recording, and live streaming. It empowers directors to effortlessly handle multiple input and output channels in large-scale event venues while delivering stable, broadcast-quality recording and streaming performance. The HS-3200 is undeniably one of Datavideo’s proudest broadcast-grade solutions, fully capable of driving big-stage live productions.
