Datavideo HS-2600

The Datavideo HS‑2600 is a professional HD portable video streaming studio that combines switching, streaming, recording and monitoring into a single all-in-one production solution. Designed for live events, conferences, sports productions, houses of worship and corporate broadcasts, the HS‑2600 delivers the power of a professional control room in a compact transportable system, allowing operators to produce high-quality live content anywhere.

At the core of the HS‑2600 is a fully featured 8-channel Full HD production switcher equipped with four 3G‑SDI inputs and four HDMI inputs. This flexible configuration supports a wide range of camera and source connections, making it ideal for complex multi-camera productions. Multiple SDI and HDMI outputs provide extensive routing options for programme feeds, monitoring and auxiliary outputs.

The integrated H.264 and H.265 streaming encoder allows direct streaming to popular platforms including YouTube, Facebook Live and Twitch without requiring additional hardware. Support for RTMP, RTSP and SRT protocols provides reliable streaming even in demanding network environments, making the HS‑2600 suitable for professional live broadcasting applications.

Recording is equally straightforward thanks to the built-in recorder. Productions can be recorded directly to SD cards in H.264 or H.265 format, creating ready-to-use video files for immediate upload, archiving or post-production. The ability to stream and record simultaneously provides valuable production security and workflow flexibility.

A bright 17.3-inch Full HD LED monitor is fully integrated into the unit, providing clear multiview monitoring of sources, programme output and production status. This built-in display eliminates the need for external monitors and greatly simplifies on-location setup.

The HS‑2600 offers a comprehensive suite of professional production features including four upstream keyers, four picture-in-picture channels, two downstream keyers, dual logo insertion and advanced chromakey functionality. The system also supports virtual studio productions with up to four chromakey channels, allowing the creation of sophisticated virtual environments without additional processing equipment.

Further enhancing creative possibilities are built-in animated stinger transitions, customizable effects and virtual backgrounds. Datavideo’s integrated CG title system enables professional graphics and title overlays directly within the production workflow, helping create polished broadcast-style content with minimal setup.

Professional audio integration is supported through XLR and RCA inputs, allowing easy connection to external audio mixers and sound systems. Embedded SDI and HDMI audio support ensures synchronized audio and video throughout the entire production chain.

Built within a rugged portable chassis, the HS‑2600 is engineered for reliability and mobility. Whether deployed in a mobile production environment or as a permanent live streaming solution, it delivers professional switching, streaming and recording capabilities in a highly efficient and easy-to-use platform.
