The CineTreak Cinelive C1 is a compact switcher with a 5.5″ display and four HDMI inputs designed for professional streaming, featuring advanced chroma key, a built-in media library, PTZ camera control and multi-platform RTMP live streaming. It offers two HDMI PGM outputs, a UVC output over USB-C and H.264 recording to a USB drive.
The Cinelive C1 is the first generation of the Cinelive series – a switcher for solo streamers, small studios and mobile setups that needs neither a computer nor an external monitor to operate.

Physical buttons for preview and programme, a T-Bar and a PTZ rotary knob – one person can run a live broadcast with four cameras.
The programme goes to two HDMI outputs at once in up to 1080p60.
The UVC output connects the switcher to a computer without installing a driver.
Plus MIX, DIP, PATTERN, freeze and FTB – manually with the T-Bar or with the AUTO button.
The HDMI inputs accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p and 576i/480i, the programme goes out in 1080p or 1080i.
Four type A HDMI inputs, two HDMI PGM outputs, USB-C for the UVC output, RJ45 for the network and a threaded DC 12 V power input that keeps the cable firmly in place.

The side holds two 3.5 mm mic/line inputs, a 3.5 mm headphone output, a tally port for the optional tally box (DB-15) and USB-A for recording, logos, images and firmware updates.

The keying algorithm retains detail and balances edges, turning a presenter in front of a green screen into a convincing virtual studio. Keying works on several layers at once.
Audio from the four HDMI inputs and two separate 3.5 mm mic/line inputs is mixed right in the switcher. Volume, a 0–5 s delay and AFV can be set for each input separately.

Load backgrounds and logos with alpha channel from a USB drive. The AB, PIP and POP layers can take any position and size.

Just enter the switcher’s IP address in a web browser on a computer or phone and control switching, layers and stream settings remotely.

Via the VISCA IP protocol the switcher controls up to four PTZ cameras – pan, zoom, focus and colour – and stores their positions for quick recall. All it takes is the PTZ button and the rotary knob on the panel.
The REC button records the programme to a USB drive or SSD, the STREAM button sends it to two addresses at once. Recording and streaming time is shown on the status page of the display.
Compact yet powerful, the CineTreak Cinelive C1 is a switcher with a 5.5-inch LCD display tailored for creators who want high quality in a portable form. With four HDMI inputs, two HDMI PGM outputs and a UVC output (USB-C) for streaming via a computer, it supports multi-camera work for livestreaming, production and event broadcasting.
Professional-grade features such as film-grade chroma key, logo overlay and flexible layer switching make it easy to create broadcast-quality pictures. The built-in media library lets you add videos and images quickly, while the FTB (Fade to Black) and freeze functions ensure clean transitions.
The C1 offers PTZ camera control, local H.264 video recording and multi-destination RTMP streaming, all controllable via a web interface on a computer or mobile device. It is ideal for solo streamers, small studios and mobile setups.
