Datavideo HS-1650T

The Datavideo HS‑1650T is a fully integrated portable HDBaseT production studio designed to deliver complete live production capabilities in a single compact system. Engineered for professional workflows in education, corporate environments and live events, it combines switching, streaming, recording, camera control, audio mixing and monitoring into one rugged and transportable unit, effectively transforming any location into a fully operational video production studio.

At the heart of the HS‑1650T is an intuitive 14-inch touchscreen interface that provides direct, real-time control over every aspect of the production. From switching video sources and adjusting camera parameters to managing AI auto-tracking and PTZ control, the system eliminates the complexity of traditional hardware-based workflows and replaces it with a fast and responsive touch-driven experience. This enables even a single operator to manage a multi-camera production with precision and efficiency.

The system is built around HDBaseT technology, allowing video, power, control and tally signals to be transmitted over a single Cat‑6A cable across distances of up to 100 meters. This significantly reduces cabling complexity and setup time while enabling flexible camera placement without the need for local power at each camera position. With support for multiple HDBaseT inputs alongside HDMI, the HS‑1650T is optimized for clean, scalable multi-camera configurations.

Integrated AI auto-tracking technology enhances production automation by enabling intelligent subject tracking and framing directly within the switcher environment. Combined with full PTZ camera control, this allows for dynamic and professional camera movement without requiring dedicated camera operators, making it ideal for lecture capture, presentations and live events with minimal crew.

A built-in 17.3-inch Full HD monitor provides clear multi-view monitoring of all sources and program outputs, ensuring full overview of the production at all times. In parallel, the system offers flexible output routing, including multiple HDMI outputs and HDBaseT program output, enabling seamless integration with external displays, recorders and streaming platforms.

The HS‑1650T includes a professional-grade H.264 streaming and recording engine, allowing users to stream directly to multiple platforms while simultaneously recording high-quality video files to SD card for immediate upload or post-production. Support for modern streaming protocols ensures reliable delivery across both stable and challenging network environments.

Audio integration is handled through a built-in multi-channel mixer with professional XLR and RCA inputs, allowing precise control over audio levels and ensuring broadcast-ready sound quality within the same unified workflow. Additional production features such as Picture-in-Picture effects and customizable layouts enable more advanced and visually engaging productions without external processing hardware.

Designed as a true all-in-one solution, the HS‑1650T combines six essential production functions into a single portable case. Its robust construction, intelligent automation and streamlined user interface make it a powerful tool for creating professional live productions quickly and efficiently, without the need for complex system setups.
