In professional scenarios such as radio and television broadcasting, remote conferencing, and visualized command and control, the 4K video acquisition, transmission, and control pipeline is becoming the core lifeline that determines the ultimate user experience. Leveraging the CM8408 4K zoom camera as its front-end cornerstone and paired with the CM2004HW encoding and control board, Cameray has developed a comprehensive end-to-end solution—from “capture” to “presentation”—that delivers exceptional image quality, stable transmission, and flexible control. This solution addresses industry pain points and injects fresh momentum into professional 4K applications.

I. Professional-grade imaging unit, setting a new benchmark for 4K image quality

As the “visual core” of the entire solution, the CM8408 8x zoom dedicated camera leverages professional-grade hardware to deliver cinematic-quality 4K video capture capabilities. The device is equipped with a SONY 4/3-type back-illuminated CMOS image sensor boasting an effective pixel count of up to 10.71 million. It natively supports 3840×2160 resolution and 60fps frame rate output, ensuring smooth, blur-free, and seamless motion that accurately reproduces every detail, texture, and light-and-shadow gradation.

The lens features a professional focal length range of 10–85mm, combined with an 8x optical zoom and a 16x digital zoom, enabling seamless transitions from a wide 70° angle of view to close-up detailed shots. Equipped with a large F1.5–2.6 aperture, it delivers DSLR-level shallow depth-of-field effects, ensuring distinct image layers and highlighting the subject clearly. For complex lighting conditions, the CM8408 is equipped with 120dB ultra-wide dynamic range technology, effortlessly balancing strong backlighting and high-contrast environments. In color mode, the minimum illumination level is as low as 0.01 lux, while in black-and-white mode, it drops to just 0.001 lux. Paired with 2D/3D digital noise reduction, strong-light suppression, and haze removal features, this camera can produce pristine images even in low-light conditions. The TOF sensor and a self-developed focusing algorithm achieve millisecond-level precision focusing, and when combined with AI-powered intelligent framing, further optimize composition for every shot, ensuring each capture is stable and professional.

II. Dual-channel concurrent transmission architecture, breaking through the bottleneck in 4K signal flow.

4High-rate transmission of K-video has long been a challenging issue in the industry. The combination of CM8408 and CM2004HW has created a low-latency, highly compatible transmission system that ensures seamless flow of ultra-high-definition signals. CM8408 natively features smart H.265/264 ultra-low-bitrate encoding technology, which can save 50% of bandwidth resources compared to conventional encoding. Coupled with a network-adaptive algorithm, this solution maintains stable 4K video streaming even in complex environments characterized by fluctuating bandwidth and network congestion.

The CM2004HW encoding control board serves as a transmission hub, featuring an ultra-compact form factor of 50×50×5mm for highly integrated deployment. It supports simultaneous dual-channel transmission—HDMI synchronous output at 4K/30 and wireless video streaming—enabling both wired wall display and wireless screen mirroring via a single cable, thus expanding the range of 4K video output scenarios. At the same time, it is compatible with a variety of mainstream video formats, including 720P, 1080I, and 1080P, ensuring seamless connectivity with various terminal devices. The CM8408 is equipped with three high-speed interfaces: HDMI2.0, a 100-Mbps network port, and USB3.0. The USB interface complies with the UVC protocol, allowing for plug-and-play functionality. On the network side, it supports over ten protocols, including IPv4, RTSP, RTMP, and NDI, and is compatible with industry standards such as Onvif and GB/T28181-2016. A single device can simultaneously preview up to 20 video streams, meeting the signal distribution requirements of large-scale multi-camera operations.

III. Full-dimensional integrated control to simplify professional system operation and maintenance processes.

Professional 4K imaging systems feature a wide variety of equipment and complex control logic. However, the combination of CM8408 and CM2004HW—with their comprehensive multi-dimensional control capabilities—significantly lowers the barriers to system deployment and operation. CM8408 supports functions such as zoom mode switching, electronic shutter control, exposure compensation, and fine-tuned adjustment of color parameters. It enables remote control of zoom, pan-tilt units, and image parameters, making it well-suited to meet the diverse shooting requirements of different scenarios. At the same time, CM8408 is compatible with mainstream pan-tilt control protocols including VISCA and PELCO, laying a solid foundation for multi-camera synchronization and remote operation.

The CM2004HW further enhances control capabilities by integrating dual RS485 interfaces, an RS232-TTL port, I/O ports, and physical buttons. It offers multi-channel parallel control modes, making it suitable for various usage scenarios—including centralized management in server rooms, on-site manual operations, and remote command control. The board natively supports mainstream protocols such as SONY VISCA, PELCO-P, and PELCO-D, and allows selection of multiple baud rate settings. It features command pass-through and power-off memory functions, enabling automatic restoration of the previous configuration upon reboot without the need for repeated adjustments. The entire device boasts a unified control logic and rapid response, eliminating the need for technicians to repeatedly adapt to different protocols and significantly reducing deployment, debugging, and subsequent maintenance costs for 4K systems.

IV. Industrial-grade stable performance, compatible with the full-scenario 4K application ecosystem.

Relying on powerful hardware performance and flexible expandability, the Kaimorui CM8408+CM2004HW combination is fully compatible with mainstream 4K application scenarios, including radio and television live broadcasts, government and enterprise conferences, real-scene studio productions, high-definition recording and broadcasting, and visualized command and control. In radio and television program recording and sports event live streaming, its 10.71-megapixel ultra-high-definition resolution combined with high frame rates precisely captures every detail of the scene. Ultra-low bitrate encoding ensures stable signal transmission over long distances, while the wireless video transmission feature meets the demands of mobile camera positions. In large-scale conferences and online studio settings, the wide-angle lens can capture the entire venue, and AI-powered intelligent framing optimizes visual effects. Multiple interfaces support connections to large displays, recording and broadcasting servers, and remote terminals, enabling comprehensive distribution of 4K content across all areas.

The device operates at a power consumption of less than 4W and can function reliably in a wide temperature range from -5℃ to 60℃. It has a humidity tolerance of up to 90% RH, and its industrial-grade stability ensures 7×24-hour uninterrupted operation. It is well-suited for challenging environments such as indoor studios, outdoor venues, and server room cabinets. Meanwhile, the CM2004HW is compatible with the SONY FCB series as well as all models in the Kaimorui 4K camera lineup, making it easy for users to integrate new and existing equipment and upgrade their systems incrementally. From front-end capture and mid-end encoding control to back-end transmission and display, these two products complement each other deeply and seamlessly connect, forming a cost-effective, high-performance, and easily scalable 4K integrated imaging solution that helps industries across the board fully embrace the ultra-high-definition era.
