The Datavideo HS-2800 Hand-Carried HD/SD Mobile Studio is an eight-channel 10-bit 1920 x 1080i broadcast quality mobile switcher. The HS-2800 is suitable for TV and video professionals working on location or in temporary video studios such as theaters, conference centers, and live performance venues. The flexibility of the HS-2800 also makes it a solution for the worship, education, and AV market. The unit comes built into a rugged plastic carry case with a 17.3" LCD monitor mounted into the lid. The system is completely pre-wired and self-contained. Bring it to the location, open the lid, power up, plug in the inputs/outputs, and you are set to go.

Even though it is small, compact, and easily transportable, the HS-2800 is not short on features you would expect to find in a professional switcher. It is equipped with an eight-way intercom system and is supplied with four intercom units, headsets, and tally lights. The switcher features eight input channels, and can input HD/SD-SDI and HDMI signals, four balanced analog audio inputs (two stereo channels), and supports embedded audio. The switcher provides two HD-SDI outputs, and an HDMI monitor output, as well as two balanced analog audio outputs. It features adjustable audio delay on each input, so you don't need additional equipment if you need to delay your audio. Switcher functions include the T-Bar for manual transitions, two downstream keyers, and a choice of cut, mix, and wipe transitions. You can also control the switcher remotely via RS-422 protocols. As the unit powers with 12 VDC using a standard 4-pin XLR, you can power it from an available battery or power supply, making it equally usable in a location or out in the field.
