Nagasoft Caster-X1

The Caster-X1 is a powerful production tool that can be easily integrated into any production workflow.  It features an 11.6'' Full-HD touchscreen monitor.

Up to six video signals in different resolutions (2 x SDI, 2 x HDMI, 1 x network and 1 x from internal memory) can be connected simultaneously. The NET input (LAN) allows the integration of various streaming signals and via the DDR channel internally stored video material can be accessed.

The Caster-X1 is a tool with many functions like multi-channel switching, 6 channel recording, streaming, audio mixing, visualization of special effects and signal monitoring. It also has a built-in Ethernet module, a WIFI module and a 4G module for Simcards, making it suitable for all conceivable webcast scenarios.

With the NDI|HX license, which is subject to a fee, it is possible to integrate the caster into the NDI workflow and make live productions even more efficient. NDI is now the most common IP technology on the market.

Multi-platform live streaming
With just one click, the program stream can be streamed directly to various platforms such as Mudu, AndLive, Facebook, YouTube as well as RTMP, RTSP or SRT servers. With the help of a QR code you can connect your smartphone to the caster without being in the same WLAN. The Nagasoft smartphone app makes it easy to enter text on the device, so you can easily enter or copy even long ULRs.

No-Delay Switching
The six video signals are conveniently switched via the touch display. Simply by touching the respective video channel. The switching is done without delay.

PTZ control
The Caster supports the control of up to 4 PTZ cameras. Functions like zoom, focus, iris, up, down and 8 different directions can be operated. Supports ONVIF, VISCA over IP as well as the NDI protocol and supplies power to connected PTZ cameras via PoE (Power over Ethernet).

Video recording
The Caster can record up to 6 video signals (SDI-1/2, HDMI-1/2, NET/PGM) and has a shutdown protection.

Network support
With Ethernet, WiFi and a 4G module (for sim cards) all requirements for live transmissions are covered.

XLR inputs and outputs
In addition to the video inputs, two microphones can be connected via XLR connectors. A headphone jack and two XLR outputs allow professional monitoring and audio output.

Audio Mixer Function
With the integrated audio mixer, the input and output volume of the audio signal can be adjusted for each individual source.

Scoreboard Function
With a large number of templates for "scoreboards", the results of live sports events such as basketball, soccer, table tennis, badminton or volleyball can be displayed directly in the stream.

Character Generator (CG) Fade-in
With the character generator, up to 12 preset or imported images in jpg/png format can be directly integrated and freely positioned.

Live+ Connectivity
Thanks to the Naga NDDIP protocol, front-end devices such as smartphones and encoders can be wirelessly integrated directly by scanning a QR code or entering a numeric code.

Professional Interface
A professional and intuitive user interface makes live streaming easy and effective.

Firmware Updates
The manufacturer is constantly improving the Caster X1. If it is connected to the internet it checks if firmware updates are available and shows this in the menu. You can inform yourself about the latest developments and then decide if you want to download an update.
