Multi-Channel/Multi-Track Synchronized FHD & 4K/UHDVideo Recording & Multi-Source Streaming Systems
Futurevideo developed the concept of “project-base” workflow, which, for many types of multicam projects, is a higher-level, easier to use, and more efficient means to manage a project’s assets and its structure than is possible with traditional production “file-based” workflow methods. “Project-based” workflow provides many productivity benefits to users in business, industry, academia, and government
V-Station’s Project Media Management (PMM) software and associated plug-ins provide the tools that support project-based workflow from acquisition to delivery. Media and metadata are managed with a SQL database. All video and audio tracks are recorded synchronously with a time-stamp to ensure they are automatically synchronized and organized while recording live and performing on-the-fly editing with AutoProducer®. Whether playing back with Multi-View®, PostTools, or when transferring the video project to a NLE system such as Apple's Final Cut Pro, Adobe's Premiere CC, or Magix's Vegas Pro, V-Station keeps the projects managed.
Live simultaneous multi-source streaming is possible for up to 8 simultaneous channels to different locations or the same location (different rooms) over the internet. Ideal for distance learning. Even the program out (Line-cut) can be live streamed onto YouTube or Facebook.
FutureVideo’s turn-key DVRs (Studio4 & Studio8) are integrated solutions for video capture, media management, live event production, and delivery in one single 2U rack-mount unit.
End-users and resellers with a “grab & go” application will find V-Station HD Producer4 and Producer4S with a compatible PC-based laptop to be an efficient way for multicam recording and streaming.
FutureVideo’s Studio and Producer Capture Packages and software enhancement plug-ins enable Systems Integrators and AV Contractors to custom-configure multicam solutions around V-Station HD technology in a compatible host PC.
Monitor All Channels (4-8) Live
View all video angles together on one screen and control the system with either a 10" USB touch-screen monitor—or with a standard PC monitor using a keyboard and mouse.
AutoProducer® Video Switcher, Line-Cuts Editor, and Live Streamer
Switch live between camera angles, send the program output to a HDMI monitor, and live stream to YouTube, Facebook, or a CDN such as Wowza— all while simultaneously creating the EDL that will be used for post-production editing. In addition, a Line-cut video recording is also created at the same time with your 'takes' which provide the 5th or 9th video track recording (Pro4 Plus & Studio4, Studio8 models).
Automatically Organizes Each Project
As part of its revolutionary design, V-Station HD system software organizes and manages your recordings into "projects" using a SQL database system—making it dramatically easier to find the desired content for viewing, editing or transferring to other systems.
Read MoreInstead of relegating content management functions to the post-production phase—where every clip has to be sorted out—V-Station HD puts management right at the beginning of the shoot. Plus, as footage is shot, your project's database is automatically updated with each new scene, shot, and take of the production. You can easily switch between your various projects—without losing continuity. Then return back to the previous project to add more footage, if necessary. This makes it perfect for use in a variety of applications that require many sessions or episodes be recorded and managed. V-Station HD handles all the organizational details for you.
Log Events—Live or During Play Back
A log of event markers with descriptions can be entered for any frame of each clip during recording and review during play back.
Read MoreWhen using the V-Station HD Studio's Multi-View module, all clips that are synchronized to the event will be instantly cued to their respective frame positions to view the image at a specific point in time of all angles. This metadata is kept with the project and each recorded clip for later reference event when transferred to your NLE.
Simultaneous Playback & Review Of Your Footage
Even while recording, you can play back previous shots using the built-in media player. Pull up the play list by project and review footage. Log footage for each frame. This is ideal for rehearsals.
Multi-Channel Live Streaming
V-Station HD Studio4 and Studio8 models do simultaneous "multi-streaming" of each of the video camera feeds to any local or internet site. In addition, the "line-cut" can now be streamed in real-time to YouTube Live or Facebook Live during the shoot.
Read MoreV-Station HD Studio4 and Studio8 systems provide up to 5 or 9 multiple live streams and can be set for various resolutions, frame rates, and video bit rates.
