What is Cosmos H1?
Cosmos H1 a complete package of true hi-definition HD-SDI cameras and HD-SDI pro video-switching equipment to outfit any church, conference room, club, or audio-video staging setup. Cosmos H1 consists of:
Three Main Cosmos H1 Components - Plus Optional Extras
-
HD 1-chip Robotic Computer-Controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cams - Sony EVI-HD1
Cosmos H1 includes 2-5 robotic (computer-controllable pan/tilt/zoom) hi-def cameras and full hi-definition Datavideo SE-2000 HD-SDI video switcher/mixer. By choosing Cosmos H1 you get top quality Sony HD cameras and full HD-SDI production with the Datavideo SE-2000 HD-SDI system. These HD-SDI cameras (our Cosmos H1 systems include the HD-SDI outputs required for the cameras as used in the Cosmos H1 systems) also support RS232 (COM port) or RS422 control from your PC running our full-featured CosmosH1 camera control software.
The Sony EVI-HD1 camera has HD-SDI output with 1080i, 1080p, and 720p output (user-selectable in either 50fps or 59.94fps scan rates). With a 2-megapixel sensor you get sharp crisp HD video quality, and the camera has a wide angle view with 10X optical zoom. Based on the proven silent-movement technology, the EVI-HD1 has a 200-degree panning range and 50 degree tilt range. It's also small (2kg weight, 10.25 x 6 x 6.75" size) and has the control features you want for a high quality, yet economical, true HD Cosmos H1 system.

FULL HD-SDI Datavideo SE-2000 Switcher
DataVideo's fully HD SE-2000 5-source switcher has inputs for up to 5 HD sources (3 or 4 HD-SDI + 1 or 2 DVI-D) and 4 balanced audio inputs, with 2 HD-SDI outputs and 2 balanced audio outputs. Three video inputs are HD-SDI, one is DVI-D, and one is user-selectable as either HD-SDI or DVI-D. It's easy to set up as many as 4 HD-SDI cameras and also have a PC graphics DVI-D input for a flexible multi-purpose HD production. With a HD-SDI/DVI-D converter you can even have up to 5 cams. You have a complete HD-SDI system, with two HD-SDI outputs and a DVI-D 'multi-view' monitoring output (we include a 17" LED-backlit LCD multi-view monitor, see below). The SE-2000 switcher is a proven winner that handles all the inputs and lets you switch smoothly from one video source to another using wipes, fades, and other effects. Datavideo's SE-2000 switcher has a DVI input for the fifth source coming from a computer graphics card DVI ouput. It's a full broadcast-quality HD multi-camera portable desktop video capability for your church, conference room, or other 'studio' environment (with built-in frame-sync on all channels). And Cosmos H1 lets you integrate the flexible power of the SE-2000 with advanced computer-control of robotic HD-SDI cameras for a compact studio centered on a single PC or laptop. The SE-2000 can output to your flat screen or projector HD-SDI devices - so you have real HD from cameras all the way through to your display. If your display uses DVI or other HD input connectors, we will configure an optional converter to get you the right combination for your system.

The Multi-View Video Monitor
Accompanying the SE-2000 switcher is DataVideo's 17" HD-SDI LED-backlit LCD monitor. The LCD displays all video source and output signals for simultaneous view (multi-view). This monitor has 2 HDMI, VGA, YUV (component), S-video, and 2 composite video inputs - all user selectable, and selectable SD or HD aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9). You can use it for all your display monitor needs and it's perfect as the multi-view display for the SE-2000.

The CosmosH1 Software
Tying together the whole package is the software heart of the Cosmos H1 system: the Cosmos software package (for Windows PCs). Cosmos software gives you detailed direct camera positioning (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and more), preset-positions, and video settings (white balance, backlight, brightness) for the robotic cameras. And the Cosmos software also communicates with the SE-2000 switcher to allow direct operation of the 'wipe' function from the camera control GUI. With this powerful package of software you can control all your cameras individually and switch video sources on the SE-2000.
Cosmos is an invaluable integration of camera-control with switcher operations for use with live production setups like small studios, churches, meeting rooms, and more. Now Cosmos robotic cameras can become integrated with the SE-2000 into a studio-like operating environment in a single package that can be run by one operator at a single PC console.
CosmosH1 Software Details:
- Control up to 5 robotic cameras
- Cosmos communicates and interacts with your robotic cameras *and* with the Datavideo Switcher:
- When you select a camera on CosmosH1, that cam is selected on the Preview (SUB) row of your Datavideo Switcher
- Cosmos also has controls to activate the 'TAKE' function of your Switcher so you can position a cam and then switch it to main output directly from the Cosmos software
- When using the SE-2000 switcher there are additional software controls for many other features of the SE-2000 switcher (wipe speed, pattern selection, and more). All camera and switcher controls are available through the Cosmos software's nine user-definable (Macro) scripted buttons via simple text-editing with sensible English-like commands.
- Control positioning of your cameras 5 ways:
- Mouse click/drag to position camera interactively
- Small incremental pan/tilt/zoom or smooth continuous pan/tilt/zoom operations
- Keyboard shortcuts for variable speed continuous smooth pan/tilt
- 6 presets of pan/tilt/zoom and all video settings, 4 additional presets of pan/tilt/focus/zoom
- Macro scripts for sequential operations from a single mouse-click or keystroke
- Additional controls are provided for:
- White Balance, Backlight, and Brightness, Iris, Gain, and many more 'optical' adjustments
- Focus - in/out/auto/manual : Zoom - in/out/maximum/minimum
- On-screen data display (available on some camera models) and video on/off
- 9 user-configurable buttons for scripted sequences of camera motions and operations
- One-button 'AutoTour' feature for touring the presets with user-selectable 'dwell time'
- Most commands are supported on the GUI and through your keyboard.
- Optional Contour ShuttlePro v2 USB control surface that lets you position the cams with a neat variable-speed pan/tilt wheel.
- All features are also remotely controllable via TCP/IP network.
- All features are also 'scriptable' as user-defined macros for automated sequences of control operations of the cameras and the switcher.
