Cosmos-S5 includes 2-4 robotic (computer-controllable pan/tilt/zoom) cameras and you can choose from two main types: either single-chip (Sony EVI-D70, far left) or 3-chip (Sony BRC-300, right) depending on your needs and budget. These popular Sony robotic cameras have excellent video quality and performance. Panning through wide angles of motion, Tilting through large ranges, superb optical zoom, and dual video output of Y/C and composite. They also support both RS232 and RS422 (long distance over 1000 meters) control signals. In addition the EVI-D70 cameras can be mounted either 'up' or 'hanging upside down' for your convenience (they have built-in reversal of the picture and left/right/up/down motion controls).
DataVideo's popular professional broadcast SE-500 switcher has inputs for up to 4 cameras with Y/C and composite inputs as well as audio for each channel. The SE-500 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 (with audio following the video as you switch). Datavideo's SE-500 switcher offer a full broadcast-quality 4-camera portable desktop video capability to your church, conference room, or other 'studio' environment (with built-in frame-sync on all channels). And Cosmos-S5 lets you integrate the flexible power of the SE-500 with advanced computer-control of robotic cameras for a compact studio centered on a single PC or laptop. One of the nicest features of the SE-500 switcher/mixer is the quad-split output on its 'preview' video signal. This lets you see all of your camera or video sources at once with a single monitor (or using one of the monitors in the dual LCD monitor rack, see below) and shows which camera or source is 'on main output' and which one is 'on preview'.
Adds two 7" LCD monitors with a mounting bracket for the SE-500 that let you view your 'main' output and the simultaneously view of all 4 video sources on the quad-split preview output of the SE-500. Optional extra ($1049.95 complete). The dual LCD monitor has pass-through for the video channels to let your video signals move on to additional destinations (recording device, broadcasting system, etc.). Because the dual LCD attaches directly to the SE-500 it provides the most compact and portable way to have a crisp bright color view of your entire video system within the very compact footprint of the SE-500.
Get the SE-500 switcher/mixer and two 7" LCD monitors all built into an portable aluminum equipment case. Has easy access through the rear (bottom) of the case to the switcher connections. This 'portable studio' option is NEW. This upgrade is $1199.95 and *includes* the dual 7" LCD monitor kit. Contact Videobotics.com now for special offers on this optional configuration.
Tying together the whole package is the software heart of the Cosmos-S5 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-500 switcher to allow direct operation of the 'wipe' function from the camera control GUI. With this powerful package of software you can control all your cameras individually and switch video sources on the SE-500.
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-500 into a studio-like operating environment in a single package that can be run by one operator at a single PC console.
