If the average picture is worth a thousand words, what's a picture that can be viewed simultaneously by a vast audience on up to 25 social media platforms worth?

Hmmm. Priceless, maybe? But this seemingly too-good-to-be-true social media engagement solution is not only affordable, it can actually pay for itself thanks to the digital advertising revenue it generates.

Radio stations know their live content is well suited for social media, but the high costs associated with producing video content are keeping many broadcasters from connecting with the vast audience found on popular media platforms.

Adding all sorts of hardware and software to achieve this was expensive, not to mention complicated. A simpler solution was needed.

Enter HDVMixer 2.0

HDVMixer 2.0 is a Visual Radio solution that helps you to bring your current content online by optimizing your existing technology, without increasing your spending. With HDVMixer 2.0, you can easily produce eye-catching, high-quality videos and graphics in 4K and go live to all major social media platforms (up to 25!) with a single click, expanding your audience reach and increasing revenue. You can also invite remote co-hosts and guests to your broadcast by simply sending them a link to join.

Oh, What a Web You'll Weave

HDVMixer 2.0 is web based, allowing you to send PROGRAM and PREVIEW video in real time to a webpage. All 40 SCENES that you can choose from are rendered in realtime so you can see how they will look on-air. And you can push the video from these 40 video streams to the webpage as well!

All your assets such as graphics and video reels will live in HDVMixer 2.0's cloud servers. So if your company has stations through different markets, they can all share the same pool of images and clips, as they are all available to every HDVMixer system registered under the same organization.

And if you are an enterprise with multiple HDVMixer systems, you can access any of them from a web browser anywhere in the world. You can have all your producers in one place producing video content for all the other markets. Now that's streamlined efficiency!

Look, Ma, No Hands!

HDVMixer 2.0 effortlessly automates your video production using AI based technology. Simply tell the AI how you need the automated video production to look, and let it go to work. Cameras switch automatically to whomever is speaking, so talent and production teams can concentrate on other important tasks, such as creating the best, audience-grabbing content possible for your radio broadcast.

Hard-Working Software

HDVMixer 2.0's HDV-A software gives you six video sources (SDI/NDI/USB/HDMI), a video switcher with built-in CG and Graph Generator to add station logo, news crawls, weather info and lower thirds, Simultaneous H.264 streaming and HD recording, and much more.
