Overview
The CineTreak Natrix 8-Channel ISO Recording and Live Streaming Video Switcher is a full-featured production switcher built around a CNC-machined panel and an integrated 10" touchscreen. It accepts up to eight video sources across four HDMI, four SDI (BNC), and four USB-A inputs, and outputs to three configurable HDMI AUX ports. Two XLR inputs with 48V phantom power handle audio, while dual RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, one with PoE support, connect it to a network for IP-based control and streaming. A tally light and real-time monitoring keep live production organised, and instant replay with slow-motion playback add broadcast-style production value.
8 M/E Layers with Chroma and Luma Keying
Eight mix effects (M/E) layers support DVE, graphic, transition, chroma key, and luma key effects, with two downstream keys available for chroma and luma keying on top of your program output.
