Snell Announces New Kahuna Switcher Range

Snell has announced the introduction of an all new Kahuna switcher range. Kahuna 4800, Kahuna 6400 and Kahuna 9600 offer added 4K capabilities across the entire range.

Combined with Snell’s new flexible switcher control surface, Kahuna Maverik, the Kahuna 4800/6400/9600 provides a bolstered feature set, including more power for Mix Effects (M/E) functionality and enhanced DVE resize engines, enabling chroma key capabilities on all keyers and 2.5D DVE on all models in the range.

The range specifics are as follows:
• Kahuna 4800 – Up to 4 M/Es, 16 keyers
• Kahuna 6400 – Up to 12 M/Es, 24 keyers
• Kahuna 9600 – Up to 24 M/Es, 48 keyers

"These enhancements give our industry-leading switcher range even more power. The added performance and 4K capabilities ensure that our customers are able to future-proof their infrastructures and productions for whatever the future brings," said Robert Rowe, managing director of Live TV at Snell. "Importantly, the improvements to the Kahuna range mean extra fire-power at a new affordability level."
Further enhancements to production workflows for social media are also now supported, allowing user-generated content to be directly uploaded to the switcher’s internal store and made ready for air.
