Teradek recently unveiled a new hardware/software solution for on-set and remote live streaming, the Teradek Serv 4K. The device supports streaming of 4K60 HDR 10-bit 4:2:2 signals that get instantly and easily distributed on location and to cloud-based platforms. It is now available for pre-order for $2,799. Undoubtedly, the days of cloud-based collaboration are here. Just a few days ago, in partnership with frame.io, Atomos introduced the Atomos Connect and Shogun Connect, namely their first-ever network-connected devices. Now, it’s Teradek’s turn. Built on the legacy of the Cube series and Serv Pro model (first introduced in 2017), the new Teradek Serv 4K is a all-in-one 4K HDR-ready production-streaming solution that allows for easy real-time monitoring both on set and remotely. Let’s take a closer look. Teradek Serv 4K. Image credit: Teradek Teradek Serv 4K: overview The new Teradek Serv 4K is a monitoring tool that offers support for both local and cloud-based networks.

According to the company, the Serv 4K is easy to setup and its use should result in a very streamlined workflow that keeps together a traditional video-village approach with a much more modern cloud-based solution.
