Harvest Fellowship in Leo, Indiana, is the first church to use the Datavideo KMU-100 4K Multi-Camera Unit for live broadcasting. This unique 4K multi-camera production solution delivers multiple virtual full HD (up to 1080p) scaled camera angles with minimal installation costs and simple operation. You can reframe and crop with the included software or a Datavideo camera controller.

We owe a big thank you to Harvest Fellowship for taking the Datavideo KMU-100 for a test drive and really pushing it to its full potential. We did not originally envision the KMU-100 being used for live camera movements, but the team at Harvest Fellowship creatively used each HD angle as if it were a separate PTZ camera, which is feasible as the KMU-100 can be paired with a Datavideo camera controller.

The basic concept is straightforward: The output of a single 4K/UHD camera is connected to the KMU-100, which then displays up to four 16x9 user-defined cropped windows that are sent out as four separate HD signals through HD-SDI. These user-defined windows can be scaled to zoom in on a particular subject you would like to highlight on the 4K signal. An additional 4K camera could be connected to provide up to eight defined outputs from the two 4K signals. Optionally, the Datavideo RMC-180 camera controller can be added to easily pan, tilt, and zoom to create the user-defined windows on the 4K signal. You can set up these shots in advance and save them as presets, or you can adjust them in real-time.
