HDMI and SDI sources can be mixed, and the switcher handles four at a time.
HDMI and BNC connectors side by side, physical buttons, a T-Bar and a joystick: the Cinelive C2S replaces signal converters and a separate PTZ camera controller in a compact body with an aluminium panel.

Each of the four channels accepts HDMI or SDI, so one production can combine HDMI cameras with professional SDI camcorders.
Luma key, chroma key, two PIP windows, POP, DSK and two logos in one output.
The new generation uses 20% less power than previous Cinelive models.
Add video from an online source, SD card or the background input to the programme without interrupting the broadcast.
NDI network video is a paid upgrade activated with a licence key.
Each of the four input channels has both an HDMI and a 3G-SDI (BNC) connector. HDMI and SDI sources can be mixed, and the switcher handles up to four at a time. HDMI inputs 1 and 2 accept up to 4K60 (HDMI 2.0).

The built-in encoder streams over Ethernet directly to two RTMP destinations at once without a computer. The USB-C (UVC) port connects the switcher to a computer as a webcam for OBS, vMix, Teams, Zoom or Skype.

Record the programme in H.264 to an MP4, TS or FLV file on an SD card or USB drive and play the recording back instantly – even during a live broadcast.

Chroma key and luma key create a virtual studio, and the DSK downstream key adds subtitles, a logo or graphics to the live and recorded picture.

Two PIP windows and POP mode with adjustable size, position, zoom and cropping – for interviews, presentations and game streams with a camera.

Via the VISCA IP protocol the switcher controls up to four PTZ cameras – zoom, focus and stored positions – with the five-way joystick and ZOOM buttons right on the panel.
The built-in library holds 16 default patterns, 16 imported and 16 captured images and two colour generators. Add more images, logos and videos via USB.
The switcher broadcasts in classic 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait. After switching to portrait mode, simply connect cameras turned upright and the stream is ready for mobile platforms.
The HDMI AUX output shows a preview of any channel or several windows at once. Meeting mode shows four inputs simultaneously – ideal for hybrid conferences and teaching.
From the left: DC 12 V power, LAN, SD card slot, USB-C (UVC), USB-A, HDMI PGM and AUX outputs, HDMI inputs 4 to 1, two microphone inputs and a 3.5 mm output. Above them sit the SDI OUT output and SDI inputs 1 to 4 (BNC).

Connect HDMI or SDI cameras to the four channels, another source to the AUX input, plus microphones and headphones. The programme goes to the PGM and AUX outputs, to two RTMP streams, to a computer over USB-C (UVC) and to the recording.

The CineTreak Cinelive C2S offers eight input connectors (4× HDMI and 4× 3G-SDI, up to four sources at a time), a 5.5″ monitor, hardware switching, recording, streaming and PTZ camera control in a portable aluminium body. The 3G-SDI inputs suit longer cable runs, HDMI 1 and 2 accept up to 2160p60, and the SDI inputs work with 3G Level A YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit signals. The programme can be sent over HDMI PGM and SDI PGM at the same time.
