SAM has announced the Kula range of multi-format production switchers, combining SD, HD and 4K capabilities. Built on the heritage of SAM s Kahuna switcher, Kula uses FormatFusion3 technology to mix any format, up to and including 4K, eliminating the need for external conversion equipment.

The Kula switcher combines a feature set with a competitive price point. Easy installation and set-up means operators can work quickly and efficiently, focusing on high value creative tasks. Ideal for multiple applications, from live events (flyaway packs, OB vehicles), broadcast production, sports and house of worship to entertainment and conference/events, Kula has been designed to meet production needs.

Capable of handling 4K/1080p/HD and SD in 1M/E and 2M/E versions, Kula can handle multiple formats. The 2M/E HD/SD version can be switched to 1M/E 4K mode, allowing users to benefit from higher production values.

Kula provides a choice of three control panels for flexibility and these are expandable with control modules from the Kahuna Range. Kula also delivers five key layers per M/E, 20 channels of DVE and floating/auxiliary keying resources and 36 inputs and 18 assignable outputs, plus an internal clip and still store.

Tim Felstead, head of Product Marketing at SAM, said, Today s broadcasters face a situation that can only be described as challenging; content is being captured and delivered in a wider range of formats than ever before and all of it within the same production workflow. Added to this, we re seeing content creation explode beyond the traditional broadcast sphere, so there are a growing number of organisations that want to benefit from high production values in order to achieve the flexibility and onscreen result they desire.
