This thin, compact PVS0613 Portable 6-Channel SDI/HDMI Multi-Format Video Switcher from AV Matrix features a built-in 13.3' LCD monitor and can switch up to six different video inputs while recording the program feed. The multiview layout allows you to show preview, program, and input sources all on the same screen; PiP screen positioning is adjustable. This makes the PVS0613 a portable TV studio that you can take anywhere and set up with minimal effort or extra equipment.
Four SDI and two HDMI inputs can be connected to cameras or other consumer or professional sources for switching up to 1080p60 video over HDMI with embedded TRS audio. There are also 3.5mm and 2RCA analog audio inputs that allow you to input separate audio to embed in your output. The input format will be autodetected by the switcher, and the output format is selectable by the user. You can even record up to 1080p60 to separately available media in the built-in SD card slot. The switcher's numerous functions include real-time background mattes, chroma/luma keying, T-bar, auto/cut transitions, wipe/mix/fade effects, USB media source control, Picture-in-Picture, and an audio mixer with 3-channel and master control faders.
Concert productions, events, parties, competitions, virtual studio, educational institutions, and live sports programming are some of the few use cases where the PVS0613 could be useful. When it's time to wrap production, close the 13.3" screen, unplug the video sources, and transport or store in its flat, portable state.
