PRODUCTION BOT Switch 8 Portable Live Production Switcher

The PRODUCTION BOT Switch 8 Portable Live Production Switcher can function as a mobile editing station or a DIT station. This robust system includes preinstalled vMix Pro live streaming software and Windows 10 Home Edition. Cut cameras, run replays, integrate custom graphics, record programs, and camera isos, all with one unit. Suitable for use in any broadcast environment, including 4K, variable frame rate, and external audio via XLR or 14". Stream output to Facebook, Periscope, and Twitch, among other prominent streaming platforms. While the Production Bot is ideal for small footprints, vMix's Multiview options allow for the screen space to be expanded and populated. The Bot Switch 8 includes a 17.3-inch screen, keyboard with a mouse, rolling bag with a telescoping handle, Shuttle replay controller, and USB Wi-Fi adapter.

Built-in Display
The built-in display eliminates the need for external monitors but can still be expanded via DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort for multiviewer and other application
access using external monitors.

I/O Cards
The Production Bot Switch 8 is equipped with an AJA capture card including eight HD-SDI inputs/outputs. You can also group four inputs together to provide two 4K inputs. When using the card in 4K mode, standard 1080/720 resolutions are unavailable. With up to two SDI outputs, producers can send multiple high-resolution feeds. For example, a “dirty” version complete with overlays for broadcast and a “clean” version for recording and reuse later. Alternatively, one output can be dedicated to connecting a broadcast-grade preview monitor to supplement the Production Bot’s built-in screen.

Removable SSD Slots for ISO Recording
Production Bot Switch 8 includes a 1TB SSD drive pre-loaded in one of the four hot-swap bays enabling ISO recording of any input. When finished, unplug the drives to move your footage to another machine for post-production or archiving.

vMix Call and NDI Capable
vMix Call makes it easy to add remote guests to your live production. With only a web browser and webcam, your guest can connect into your live show with HD video and high-quality audio from anywhere in the world. Send and receive multiple channels of broadcast quality low-latency video over a gigabit ethernet network utilizing NDI with vMix.

Balanced XLR/TRS Audio I/O
2 channels of audio over balanced XLR/TRS is allowed on top of the 16 channels of embedded SDI. The included XLR outputs can also allow a custom audio monitoring solution. Finally, if analog audio isn’t available, the Production Bot Switch 8 can interface with USB audio inputs and outputs, as well as Dante (separate software required).
