The Roland XS-42H is a professional 4x2 HDMI matrix switcher and scaler for pro AV and streaming. Four HDMI sources feed two independently...
Compact enough to travel inside a camera bag yet built around broadcast-grade connectivity, the AVMATRIX SHARK S4M merges a four-channel SDI/HDMI video switcher with a full production audio console. Two 3G-SDI and two HDMI inputs accept embedded audio at resolutions up to 1080p60, while dual HDMI program outputs and a dedicated HDMI multiview feed give operators independent lines for projection, on-set confidence monitoring and an engineer's overview — all from a chassis that fits beside a laptop on a cramped OB desk.
Audio handling is where the S4M pulls ahead of typical portable mixers. Six mono microphone inputs with signal indicators and switchable 48V phantom power sit alongside two stereo line inputs, two balanced XLR main outputs and a TRS headphone bus, so a host, three guests and two wireless lavs can sit on-air without external pre-amps. Every channel runs through a two-band EQ, a low-cut filter, precise gain trim and one of 99 DSP effect modes, covering reverb, compression, de-essing and vocal colour for podcasts, radio theatre and worship services.
Vision mixing uses T-Bar, AUTO or CUT with MIX, WIPE and DIP transitions, and layered compositions through chroma key, luma key, two simultaneous PiPs, a single PoP split, downstream keying and a logo bug. The USB-C UVC output presents the program feed to OBS, vMix, Zoom or Teams as a plug-and-play webcam, while the RJ45 LAN port pushes direct RTMP or SRT streams to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook or a corporate CDN without a host PC. A separate Bluetooth module, an MP3 recorder/player and a USB sound card keep backing tracks and remote guests on independent buses, and browser-based control lets a director adjust levels and keys from a tablet anywhere on the network.
Sessions capture in parallel to SD card and USB drive, producing a redundant archival master beside the live feed. Houses of worship running multi-camera services, esports commentators blending HDMI consoles with SDI cameras, corporate trainers producing hybrid classrooms, news crews feeding Zoom-bridge interviews and wedding videographers delivering same-day edits all sit inside the operating envelope of the AVMATRIX SHARK S4M, which compresses a full rack's worth of switching and mixing into a single palm-sized unit.
