Thanks to positive feedback on Datavideo's VGB-1000 Virtual Green Board System, Datavideo has decided to create a new updated solution for 2020, the VGB-2000. The VGB-2000 is a 2-channel, professional presentation system which is a total solution for course digitization and corporation education training without unnecessary post-production. The system can also do live streaming and recording simultaneously.

Datavideo’s VGB-2000 applies the broadcast quality BC-100 camera for videography. With the BC-100’s 4/3-inch CMOS sensor and 12-bit image processor, the camera can produce the stunning image quality with rich colour gradation. The SE-1200MU video switcher provides professional chromakey, providing the best visual result with a crisp and clear image of teaching contents. To simplify video switching, the VGB-2000 also includes a 7 inches touch screen controller which allows the presenter to customize the modes of compositions. Just with just one touch, the presenter can switch to the screen as he/she desires. The VGB-2000 enable presenter has full control during the video production.

To make presenter keep eye contact with the video audience, Datavideo employs a look-back kit provides real-time video feedback for the presenter. Besides, the AD-100M Audio Delay Box synchronizes the audio and video sources can perfectly match. So there is no need for any post-production.

The new guide "Streaming Basics" by Datavideo will advise beginners how to stream in a clear and understandable way. The book (in AJ) is available for free, after a short registration, on the Datavideo website. You can see our range of Datavideo equipment, including the popular NVS-33, NVS-25 and NVS-40 streaming boxes, here
