Bruno Derlin

The KM-IP8S4 vMix Studio Switcher from JVC is a 2 RU rackmount studio switcher with eight IP inputs via NDI, four bidirectional SDI ports, and support for SRT, RTSP, RTMP/VLC, and UDP. Four downstream keyers provide a generous array of image control options, while 10 overlays, PTZ control, web remote, and chroma key support round out some of the stand-out features on this versatile switcher, which also offers ISO recording and instant replay of all inputs, with an internal 500GB SSD for recording at up to 1080p60 and one 500GB SSD dedicated to the operating system.

There are four DisplayPort outputs for GUI, PVW/PGM, Multiview, and Aux as well as network video outputs with support for NDI, SRT, RTMP/S, H.264, and H.265. Other outputs include one 3G-SDI and one HDMI with embedded audio. Audio is also embedded on all the other inputs and outputs, and a 3.5mm line in/microphone connector provides a solution for integrating analog audio into your program. The KM-IP8S4 comes with its own standard keyboard and mouse.
