Market leading multi-format production switchers

SAM's market leading range of Kahuna and Kula multi-format production switchers will be on show at BroadcastAsia. Kula (available as 1, 2 and 3 M/E versions) easily handles multiple formats making it both future-proof and adaptable for today's production environment. A wide choice of control panels (up to 24 crosspoint) and access to up to 42 inputs makes operations easy, giving users more time to work on other elements within the live production environment. Supporting higher resolutions, a 12G-SDI mainframe is now available for the Kula switcher. Kahuna remains SAM's flagship medium to large production switcher with a rich set of features. Kahuna consistently raises the bar for multi-format operations, supporting any combination of SD, HD, 1080p (level A & B), 12G-SDI and Quad SDI for UHD signals, eliminating the need for external conversion.

It combines powerful video and audio routing capability in a 3RU mainframe with built in signal processing. Simple configuration and set up and clean and quiet switching options makes the Vega 30 ideal for applications where smooth transitions, de-embedding and embedding and full MADI audio routing are key.
