Description
The EPB-4000 is an all-in-one 8-input 4K mobile production studio designed to consolidate switching, monitoring, recording, streaming, and camera control in a single portable chassis. It combines an integrated 17.3 inch 4K LCD multi-view monitor with a 12G-SDI and HDMI-capable switcher to handle UHD 4K60/50 and HD sources. The system is intended for live production teams who need a compact turnkey solution that reduces setup complexity.
The unit supports 12 digital inputs including eight SDI and four HDMI with embedded audio and offers four 12G-SDI program outputs plus HDMI program and multi-view outputs. Built-in production tools include transitions, chroma and luma keyers, DSK, PiP, a wipe generator, still stores, logo insertion, internal title overlays, and downloadable virtual sets. The controller board features a 5 inch touchscreen for presets and effect control and one-button user memory slots for fast recall.
Performance is specified for UHD 4K at up to 60 frames per second and includes 10-bit broadcast-quality processing with per-input scaling and up-conversion. The package includes two Datavideo 4K HDMI/3G-SDI autotracking PTZ cameras with 12x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom, supporting UHD 2160p60 over HDMI/IP and 1080p60 over 3G-SDI. A professional audio delayer and four XLR inputs with two XLR outputs provide audio-to-video synchronization and balanced audio connections.
Connectivity covers a broad set of production requirements – 12 inputs with active eight-source selection, seven assignable outputs including AUX, RS-232 serial control, GPI, tally outputs, LAN for streaming and camera control, and simultaneous HDMI/IP/SDI outputs on the cameras. The integrated streamer supports RTMP and SRT sources and the included cameras support RTSP RTMPS and H.264/H.265 streaming. Control options include IR remote, RS-422/RS-232, VISCA, Pelco protocols, and DVIP for camera networks.
The EPB-4000 kit suits event production, broadcast studios, lecture capture, and houses of worship where compact transport and quick setup matter. It supports multi-camera interviews, remote lectures, and live event streaming while providing archive-ready MP4 recording. The included autotracking PTZ cameras reduce operator needs by automatically following presenters while delivering a wide 80 degree field of view and low-light noise reduction.
Installation emphasizes plug-and-play operation and field portability – no driver installation is required for laptop HDMI input and PoE support eases PTZ camera deployment. The switcher and monitor are rackable or road-case portable and the system ships with dedicated wheeled cases and mounts to protect gear during travel. Firmware updates, touchscreen configuration, and user memory presets simplify system commissioning and rehearsal setup.
Overall, the EPB-4000 kit delivers a compact production workflow that integrates switching, monitoring, recording, streaming, and camera automation into a single package. It reduces the number of separate devices and cabling required for multi-camera live production while preserving broadcast-grade video, audio, and control capabilities. The system is a practical choice for teams seeking a transportable, feature-rich 4K production solution.
