The Road-Ready Portable Switcher
A complete live production setup consists of many separate pieces of equipment working in harmony. But what if you need to take your gear to another location or have very limited space to work in?
Switchblade Zephyr combines a powerful vMix PC, 17-inch HD monitor, keyboard, control surface, and audio interface into one transportable unit. It’s powerful enough to run a multicamera streaming event, yet small enough to stow in an overhead bin on an airplane.
