Unveiling the Future of Video Production: Telycam Mix One
In a groundbreaking announcement, Telycam, a leader in PTZ camera technology, introduced its latest innovation,
Mix One. This all-in-one IP video switcher is designed specifically for creators and small to mid-sized studios, providing an efficient and intuitive solution to live streaming, podcasting, and professional content production. With over ten years of industry experience, Telycam continues to enhance the production landscape with tools that streamline workflows and improve creativity.
A Unified Production Solution
Mix One set itself apart by integrating various essential functionalities into a single compact unit. It combines an encoder, decoder, monitor, video switcher, and PTZ controller, eliminating the need for multiple devices, which often complicate production setups. This solution is built on modern AV-over-IP architecture, allowing creators to work seamlessly with low-latency IP video directly over the network.
The system supports major streaming protocols such as NDI® HX, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP, making it exceedingly flexible for diverse production settings. This means users can operate efficiently without the hassle of external converters or capture cards, further simplifying the live production process. When it’s time to scale up, users can effortlessly connect new devices to the existing network, ensuring a smooth transition between various environments.
Designed for Flexibility
Understanding the unique needs of hybrid workflows, Mix One accommodates up to six video sources with a mix of both IP and physical inputs. This includes support for two HDMI inputs capable of 4K resolution at 60 frames per second and a USB-C interface up to 1080p60. The versatility extends to audio as well, featuring a stereo line-in and an XLR analog input, with adjustable gain, ensuring professional-grade sound integration.
Intuitive Control Interface
At the heart of Mix One is an 8.8-inch LCD touchscreen that enables real-time input previews, audio controls, and graphic customization, all accessible at a glance. The system’s web-based user interface mirrors this simplicity, allowing for remote operation from any networked device. Creators can switch between program and preview modes, set up Picture-in-Picture layouts, and implement transition effects in real-time, elevating the standard for live production capabilities.
Moreover, the built-in graphics library provides templates for titles, lower thirds, and other essential graphics, facilitating a polished final product. Everything from creating to configuring visual layers can be done efficiently, with presets that save time during live events.
Reliability and Network Integrity
Mix One enables local recording in UHD resolution, supporting external USB drives, HDDs, and SD cards. In an era where network stability is paramount, its dual-NIC design separates the local production network from external connections, ensuring reliable performance without interruptions, even in challenging bandwidth environments.
Perfect for PTZ-Centric Environments
Telycam’s emphasis on PTZ production shines through in the Mix One’s user controls. With direct communication capabilities for PTZ cameras using protocols like VISCA, NDI, and others, handling a multi-camera setup transforms into a smooth operation. The included joystick offers precise camera movements, while critical image settings can be adjusted directly from the switcher, negating the need for back-and-forth adjustments on various menu screens.
Conclusion
According to Jenny Liu, Telycam's Head of Sales and Marketing, “Mix One represents the next evolution of our ecosystem, moving beyond our trusted PTZ cameras into comprehensive video production solutions.” This innovation is expected to revolutionize how solo creators and small studios engage with video production by offering unmatched performance and flexibility.
With a slated shipping date in April, Mix One is set to empower content creators looking for a professional and efficient production tool. Telycam continues to prove itself as a pioneer in this industry, ensuring its products meet the ever-evolving needs of modern creators.
