About the course
The SHOWCAST 100 is a brand new 4K 4-Channel All-in-one Production Studio that features 7 major functions. It can switch video, overlay text and graphics, control cameras, live stream, record, and mix audio all from a single unit.
14 Inch Touch Screen & Virtual Buttons
The SHOWCAST 100 is equipped with a 14 inch touch screen which allows multiple operations . Virtual buttons on the large touch screen panel makes it easy for operating the switcher as well as setting up presets for cameras.
Operating the SHOWCAST 100 is as easy as using a tablet. Produce professional video productions without having a huge learning curve on how to use and operate a switcher.
Useful and Simple Transition Effects
Cut, Mix and Wipe are the three useful and simple transition effects built into the switcher. Via an easy-to-use 14 inch touchscreen UI, the transition settings will be immediately accessible after selection of a particular effect. For example, if you've selected WIPE, you can easily adjust the transition speed by dragging a slider with your finger or tap to select a color for the border.
PIP and Split
PIP is often required in video production. Most of the time, the PIP window size need to be adjusted for the program view. The SHOWCAST 100 allows you to drag different sliders on the touchscreen UI with your finger to set the aspect ratio of the PIP window. The split window is usually used for live interview, corporate presentations, and panel discussions.
Camera Control
The SHOWCAST 100's built-in camera control functions allow you to simultaneously control three PTZ cameras. You can directly save the lens position presets, pan and tilt positions in real time and zoom in and out of a shot. In addition, you can adjust the white balance, iris and mirror mode of each camera.
Live Streaming Encoder
The built-in dual live streaming encoder allows you to record and stream simultaneously.
With the SHOWCAST 100's recording capability, you can easily back up the recorded video files for post production edits without much effort.
Audio Mixing
The 4 Channel Audio Mixer accepts embedded audio, two LINE input channels, one AUX channel and one HDMI audio channel, giving you the ability to mix the audios while processing the image.
Two Ways to Overlay Subtitles
The SHOWCAST 100 offers two ways to overlay subtitles. A lumakeyed subtitle is usually used for logos, animated texts, etc. Another way is to overlay the subtitles using the built-in network streaming encoder. On the web UI of the streaming encoder, enter the subtitle texts in the text field of the CG page after which the subtitle will be shown on your streamed video as streaming starts and recorded on the SD card along with the video.
