JVC Professional Video announced the availability of its new workflow solutions aimed at smaller production teams ― such as classrooms, courthouses, houses of worship, college sports broadcasters and local news OTA stations. Among these are the new KM-IP8 and KM-IP8S4 CONNECTED CAM vMix Studio Switchers, the RM-LP350G CONNECTED CAM vMix Control Surface, the KM-HD6 CONNECTED CAM Six-Input Switcher and the RM-LP5G CONNECTED CAM Compact Joystick PTZ Controller.

Included among the new solutions are the KM-IP8 and KM-IP8S4 CONNECTED CAM vMix Studio Switchers, which can each manage a minimum of eight NDI|HX inputs and comes standard with vMix 4K licensed software for Windows 11 Pro. The KM-IP8S4 also features four 3G-SDI inputs with bidirectional connectors and mini-SDI-to-SDI cables. Both devices offer several output options, including one 3G-SDI, one HDMI and four DisplayPorts; as well as a Gigabit Ethernet network port. Additionally, the KM-IP8 and KM-IP8S4 are optimized for switching live programming in SD up to full HD 1080 60P.

Designed for use with the KM-IP8 Studio Computer, the RM-LP350G CONNECTED CAM vMix Control Surface enables traditional-style switching in the vMix environment. It provides four-channel PTZ camera presets, panning and zoom, and features a low-profile transition fader. The controller also supports 12-channel PGM and PVW switching, as well as selectable PGM/PVW in four groups of 12 downstream key settings.

Offered both as stand-alone and in a package, the KM-HD6 CONNECTED CAM Six-Input Switcher features four SDI and two HDMI inputs, with a USB Type-C output for live streaming through a computer to popular video conferencing applications, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Additional output options include two 3G/HD/SD-SDI, one HDMI PGM (program) and one SDI AUX, as well as one each of HDMI and SDI multi-view outputs. The switcher also boasts a variety of production options, such as automatic cut transitions; mix, fade and wipe effects; adjustable PiP/PoP window; and a GPIO interface for live tally. Further, the integrated audio mixer features 3.5mm and RCA audio inputs and outputs, along with USB Type-C HDMI- and SDI-embedded audio.

The RM-LP5G CONNECTED CAM Compact Joystick PTZ Controller features a dual-axis joystick and zoom bridge, capable of managing up to five PTZ cameras. This compact solution supports VISCA, UDP and PELCO P/D control protocols over IP, RS422 and RS232. Additionally, the controller’s four-color LED multiscreen display affords ease of setup and operation. Available only as part of a bundled package with two or more JVC CONNECTED CAM PTZ cameras, the controller is perfect for smaller market organizations looking to provide network-caliber productions.
