Sitting at a size of just 8" x 6" x 13", the Switchblade M7 is easy to pick up and move to different broadcast locations. It packs a lot of power into a little frame. Its I/O panel is full of everything you need for switching, recording, multi-cording, streaming, graphics, virtual sets, remote callers, SRT, and NDI.

The Switchblade M7 is completely customizable, which means a single unit can be used as a switcher, graphics, replay, remote caller system, or all of the above. This is the ideal solution to expose students to a myriad of video production assets in an IP based world without investing in separate equipment for each feature while still enabling multiple seats to operate switching, graphics, and audio.


Kiloview E Series

Starting at $341.05

The Kiloview E2 is an HDMI to NDI Hx encoder to use in conjunction with the Switchblade M7 to capture your sources like cameras and computers.

It can output to NDI Hx, SRT, and RTMP at different bit rates allowing you to use it as a contribution encoder to your production, SRT encoder for remote production, or RTMP streaming to Facebook or Youtube as well as several other popular protocols.

It features high bandwidth adaptability, so you can transmit HD, low-latency video even on low bit networks. This means you can take it into a crowded gym, sports stadium, or use a portable router and still stream quality video with no problem.

Also extremely portable, the Kiloview E2 weighs just under a pound. It can send up to 1080p video and full H.264 encoding. It allows for any HDMI input and loop-out, and features USB and SD card support for recording. The E1 is the SDI version with the same feature set.
