NewTek TalkShow VS 4000 Multi-Channel Video Calling System

Description: This TalkShow VS 4000 is in excellent shape and it has been turned on for less than 45 hours. It has been updated to the latest software release: 7-9-221212 and it comes in its original packaging. TalkShow VS 4000 is the professional, multi-channel video calling system designed to simultaneously connect you with up to 4 remote guests—regardless of location—in real time and deliver distraction-free, broadcast-quality HD content with complete production control. Instantly connect with multiple contacts around the world.Go live to the field or to anyone in the world you can reach online, immediately—with the facility-class video calling solution for delivering live, production-ready Skype video calls for both SDI and IP live production workflows.ESSENTIALSBroadcast-Style Video from Regular Skype CallsWith automatic aspect ratio conversions and balanced audio, and without requiring a scan converter.Optimized On-Air VideoNewTek’s proprietary, real-time video processing engine incorporates superb scaling, format conversion, aspect, and color correction routines; limit return video resolution in order to prioritize the quality of incoming call video.Built-In Video Quality ChecksFailover to a custom, still image when unforeseen bandwidth constraints occur below operator-defined preset value.SDI I/OOutput a live video call to any SDI production switcher or router, and accept any SDI input source to send a return signal back to the remote caller over Skype.Multiple, Simultaneous Skype CallsGroup call or queue any combination of 4 contacts on TalkShow VS 4000 managing all calls within a single interface.Access to Anyone with a Skype Account…and to anyone else who downloads and installs the Skype app on their device, and signs up for an account.SET UPVideo Over IPIntegrate TalkShow into IP video workflows via NDI®, NewTek’s innovative Network Device Interface technology, which allows TalkShow to send Skype video calls across a standard network to TriCaster® and other NDI-enabled systems and devices, and receive NDI video sources over IP for return to caller. TriCaster will also send a tally notification downstream to TalkShow to indicate when a Skype call is on air.Small and SimpleWhy take up precious space? Each TalkShow system occupies only 1RU of your rack—integrating easily into any facility, control room, or production environment, whether in single or multi-unit installations.Better Return SoundWith TalkShow’s exclusive support for multi-channel audio on input for signals coming into the system over the network or SDI, operators can have multiple, selectable audio feeds—such as mix-minus—available for use as the return audio back to the caller.Audio Over IPYou heard right. TalkShow includes integrated support for Audio over IP via NDI. In addition to sending and receiving audio over the network, and versatile audio source selection, TalkShow supports extensive management of network audio signals, including gain, equalization, compression, metering, and more.Signal MonitoringCalibrate your video and ensure your signals are broadcast-compliant with built-in waveform monitor and vectorscope displays accessible right from the TalkShow VS 4000 user interface.System RestoreTalkShow has a comprehensive restore function that allows the operator to undo system changes by returning to the factory default settings at any time.ON AIRTalk BackCommunicate off-air with Skype callers directly, with a headset and the click of a button—or an external GPI trigger. With TalkShow’s Talk Back function, operators, producers, or directors can speak with callers as easily as they do with in-studio talent and crew, enabling them to prepare callers, provide instructions, and relay additional information before they go to air.Color CorrectionOutside the controlled studio environment, when lighting conditions or color characteristics are less than ideal, easily compensate with TalkShow. It’s the only solution to include NewTek’s fully configurable proc amp settings and auto color correction, so picture characteristics can be optimized dynamically in real-time—without requiring monitoring. Remote callers’ video can be all over the place, but you can make sure your viewers see a professional presentation.Preview MonitoringThe promise of full-motion Skype calls should pay off with full-motion previews, so operators know exactly how the call is proceeding. Where other solutions may make you rely on video previews with a frame rate of approximately 5 frames per second, TalkShow supports full-motion, high-quality video previews for real-time monitoring of input and output signals.Tally SupportAlways know who’s talking. TalkShow is the only Skype TX solution to support a tally overlay visual for return to callers, indicating when they are on air. The tally overlay is customizable, allowing for a show logo or graphic of choice—not only to let callers know when their conversation is live, but to provide additional branding opportunities for your program as well.Professional Audio ToolsIncoming and outgoing audio signals are fully configurable, with gain control, compressor/limiter, and 7-band equalizer on inputs and outputs to enhance sound quality, adjust levels for consistency, and prevent clipping or overdriving. TalkShow also includes VU meter displays that are configurable in all common professional audio scales, including dBFS, dBU, and dBVU, for accurate, real-time audio monitoring.Configurable MonitoringTalkShow VS 4000 supports dual-display monitoring and control, optional picture-in-picture views of incoming and outgoing video signals, and allows you select from different multi-view layouts and independently apply your choice of video overlays—including safe areas, center cross, and audio VU meters—to each call monitor to configure the workspace to your preference.Minimal LatencyTalkShow is optimized to provide the lowest latency when integrated into and genlocked within broadcast environments.
