Description

The Autocast Pro Kit is an automated voice-tracking production kit that automates camera selection based on active audio. It integrates voice-triggered camera switching, multi-input HD switching, and PTZ cameras to produce smooth speaker-centric cuts. The kit is designed to improve live and recorded talk formats by delivering broadcast-style visual flow.

Voice-activated switching selects the active speaker and performs a Home First wide shot before cutting to the speaking camera to ensure natural transitions. The included PTZ cameras offer 20x optical zoom and AI-assisted one-click tracking for sharp close-ups without a dedicated operator. The SE-650 switcher provides mixed SDI and HDMI inputs and basic CG and keying features for titles and overlays.

Video performance supports 1080i and 720p HD formats on the switcher and 1080p on the cameras, while the cameras also offer 3G-SDI, HDMI, and NDI/PoE network streaming. Audio integration accepts USB mixer feeds and standard line-level inputs so the voice-tracking engine can respond instantly to microphone activity. Firmware updates are supported via USB or web UI to keep system components current.

Connectivity includes SDI and HDMI camera connections, RJ-45 PoE for camera network power and streaming, USB audio interfaces, and HDMI program outputs for local displays. The system supports common USB mixers and audio interfaces so existing audio gear can be retained. When paired with compatible Datavideo switchers, on-screen CG name labels and subtitles can be generated in real time.

Typical applications include podcasts, talk shows, panel discussions, classrooms, and small studios where automated, speaker-led camera switching improves viewer engagement. The solution reduces the need for a dedicated camera operator and simplifies production workflows while maintaining professional visual standards. It is suitable for live streaming, hybrid productions, and recorded sessions.

Installation is straightforward using standard AV and network cabling and the web-based configuration interface for voice-tracking setup. The components are built for studio use with unibody switcher chassis and networked PTZ camera control. Technical documentation and firmware support help integrate the kit into existing AV installations.
