The Livestream Studio HD1710 Live Production Switcher is an all-in-one, rack-mountable 17-input switcher. It allows you to connect up to 17 cameras, using 16 HD-SDI inputs and one HD-SDI/HDMI input, and stream to in-venue screens or to the web using the built-in HD multi-bitrate encoder. The HD1710 comes pre-installed with Livestream Studio production software and includes the Studio Surface Core Module and Track Module for complete tactile control.


The HD1710 is built to handle the most demanding productions. It features an Intel Core i7 3.2 GHz six-core processor, 64GB of RAM, and a three WD Red 1TB 7200rpm hard drives capable of recording four simultaneous isolated (ISO) recordings, 2 remote cameras, and 60 hours of broadcast-quality HD program output. The HD170 can be rack-mounted using the included accessories, making it suitable for studios, production facilities, live venues, and production trucks.

The HD170 is designed to broadcast television SMPTE and color sampling standards, supporting formats up to 1080p30/25 and 1080i60/50 and featuring 10-bit 4:2:2 video and 24-bit 48 kHz audio processing. Four Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad cards provide support for up to 16 HD-SDI input sources. A Blackmagic Design DeckLink Studio card provides an additional HDMI or HD-SDI input, as well as Composite, Component, and S-Video support via the included breakout cable. The HD1710 also supports two remote camera sources, such as a live feed from your Livestream account and a remote computer desktop. Embedded audio from SDI and HDMI input sources is supported, as well as analog audio via 1/8" and 1/4" inputs. Audio monitoring is available via a 1/8" output.

The pre-installed Livestream Studio live production software provides a full field rate multiview that displays all live inputs, graphics, and media players in real-time. The multiview features audio monitoring for each input and audio PPM overlay with peak hold on all inputs and outputs. The integrated ATI Firepro 2460 graphics card lets you extend your display to four additional monitors via Mini DisplayPort connectors. In terms of graphics, two layers can be overlayed and mixed with transparency. Add text, images, live picture-in-picture, countdown graphics, and more.

In addition to Studio Surface Core and Track Modules, the HD1710 comes included with a configurable, color-coded Livestream Studio keyboard, and a mouse with mousepad.
