Three Main Cosmos H2 Components - Plus Optional Extras
-
The Robotic Computer-Controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cameras
Cosmos H2 includes 2-4 robotic (computer-controllable pan/tilt/zoom) cameras and you can choose from five camera models (shown left to right here):single-chip (Sony EVI-HD1, H100S or BRC-Z330) or 3-chip (Sony BRC-Z700 or BRC-H700, right). Pick the cameras that fit your performance needs and budget. These popular Sony robotic cameras have excellent video quality and performance. Panning and tilting through wide angles of motion, superb optical zoom, and set up for HD-SDI for true hi-def studio-quality peformance. They also support both RS232 and RS422 (long distance over 1000 meters, not available on EVI-HD1) control signals. In addition the cameras can be mounted either 'up' or 'hanging upside down' for your convenience (except for EVI-HD1, 'up' only).

FULL HD-SDI Datavideo SE-2000 (5-input) HD-SDI Switcher
DataVideo's fully HD SE-2000 5-source switcher has inputs for up to 5 HD sources (3 or 4 HD-SDI + 1 or 2 DVI-D) and 4 balanced audio inputs, with 2 HD-SDI outputs and 2 balanced audio outputs. Three video inputs are HD-SDI, one is DVI-D, and one is user-selectable as either HD-SDI or DVI-D. It's easy to set up as many as 4 HD-SDI cameras and also have a PC graphics DVI-D input for a flexible multi-purpose HD production. With a HD-SDI/DVI-D converter you can even have up to 5 cams. You have a complete HD-SDI system, with two HD-SDI outputs and a DVI-D 'multi-view' monitoring output (we include a 17" LED-backlit LCD multi-view monitor, see below). The SE-2000 switcher is a proven winner that handles all the inputs and lets you switch smoothly from one video source to another using wipes, fades, and other effects. Datavideo's SE-2000 switcher has a DVI input for the fifth source coming from a computer graphics card DVI ouput. It's a full broadcast-quality HD multi-camera portable desktop video capability for your church, conference room, or other 'studio' environment (with built-in frame-sync on all channels). And Cosmos H1 lets you integrate the flexible power of the SE-2000 with advanced computer-control of robotic HD-SDI cameras for a compact studio centered on a single PC or laptop. The SE-2000 can output to your flat screen or projector HD-SDI devices - so you have real HD from cameras all the way through to your display. If your display uses DVI or other HD input connectors, we will configure an optional converter to get you the right combination for your system.

The Multi-View Video Monitor
Cosmos H2 adds a Windows-desktop software control system for multiple robotic video cameras to the Datavideo SE-2000 studio quality AV mixer/switcher. Using top-quality Sony pan/tilt/zoom cameras, Cosmos adds a control panel GUI that lets you position, zoom, and focus your cameras while they are in 'preview', under computer control - all while you are operating Datavideo's SE-2000 Switcher in your live productions.
Datavideo's SE-2000 switchers offer a full broadcast-quality 4-input portable desktop video capability to your studio (with built-in frame-sync on all channels). Now Cosmos H2 lets you integrate the flexible power of the SE-2000 with advanced computer-control of robotic cameras for a compact studio centered on a single PC or laptop. The PREVIEW output of the SE-2000 switcher gives you a QUAD-SPLIT view of all four cameras so you can view the video from all your cameras on a single monitor (viewing monitor not included).
Cosmos H2 integrates the SE-2000 with your cameras into a single PC-controllable studio package at a very affordable price. Cosmos H2 is an ideal system for use with live production setups like small PEG tv studios, churches, meeting rooms, and more. Now Cosmos easily integrates robotic cameras with the SE-2000 in a single package that can be run by one person with a PC, laptop, or even a tiny netbook.
Cosmos H2 systems come with the newest version of Videobotics proven Cosmos camera control software (host and internet-remote programs all included) with full network control and displays of camera position in numerical quantities (pan and tilt angles and zoom factor). This is the same proven cam control system used by Eastman Chemical, JPL, U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, many city governments, and churches all over the USA and even in Canada, Nigeria, and India. We ship worldwide.
Accompanying the SE-2000 switcher is DataVideo's 17" HD-SDI LED-backlit LCD monitor. The LCD displays all video source and output signals for simultaneous view (multi-view). This monitor has 2 HDMI, VGA, YUV (component), S-video, and 2 composite video inputs - all user selectable, and selectable SD or HD aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9). You can use it for all your display monitor needs and it's perfect as the multi-view display for all Cosmos HD-SDI hi-def systems.
Tying together the whole package is the software heart of the Cosmos H2 system: the Cosmos software package (for Windows PCs). Cosmos software gives you detailed direct camera positioning (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and more), preset-positions, and video settings (white balance, backlight, brightness) for the robotic cameras. And the Cosmos software also communicates with the SE-2000 switcher to allow direct operation of the 'wipe' and 'preset camera' selection functions from the camera control GUI. With this powerful package of software you can control all your cameras individually, set up your shots, and switch video sources on the SE-2000.
Cosmos is an invaluable integration of camera-control with switcher operations for use with live production setups like small studios, churches, meeting rooms, and more. Now Cosmos robotic cameras can become integrated with the SE-2000 into a studio-like operating environment in a single package that can be run by one person PC (even a laptop or tiny netbook) console. And it's extremely easy to install and use - you can get going in a few minutes.
