Latin America. During this month of April, the company Datavideo is presenting new solutions that it had prepared to launch at NAB Show. Among them are the new kmu-200 vertical video system.
Ricardo Santos, Regional Sales Manager Latin America of Datavideo, explained to TVyVideo+Radio that the new product is a multi-camera transmission switch that has the ability to transmit vertical video and accepts a single 4K camera and allows you to select 4 regions of interest in the 4K scene and switch between the 4 1080p scenes and transmit the PGM output to your social media platform or CDN.
The KMU-200 system can also be configured to operate in the traditional 16:9 or 9:16 portrait mode to stream to Facebook or Instagram. This product will be available for the second quarter of 2020.
Other new products include the CAP-1 and CAP-2 capture boxes. CAP-1 is an SDI capture box for USB 3.0. CAP-2 is an HDMI capture box for USB 3.0. They will also have an NDI version of the PTC-140 PTZ camera.
On the attention to his clients during this health emergency, he stressed that "At the moment, there is not much to do due to the impossibility of sending equipment to most countries in Latin America. In January we closed a commercial agreement with Merlin Distribuitor for Latin America and with that they managed to maintain a larger stock for immediate delivery in Miami. This agreement collaborated with the resellers when they began to notice some difficulties in shipping products outside the United States and managed to ship the products to maintain stocks in their countries. In my opinion, the big secret for this period is the immediate delivery stock."
Finally, on recent projects he highlighted that they are currently working with their resellers to meet the high demand for transmission solutions for churches, schools and others.
"The demand for easy-to-operate and broadcast solutions has increased a lot in recent weeks, many people now know the power of a live broadcast and its power of reach. We created a workflow with suggestions for this moment, our goal is to facilitate the school of the best project within the needs of the end client, "he concluded.
