Why MU-18 Stands Out

MU-18 strikes the perfect balance between performance and footprint. With a UHD-HDR camera package, high-capacity EVS environment, and full multiviewer and routing capabilities, it’s ideal for mid- to large-scale productions where broadcast reliability, quick deployment, and pristine quality are non-negotiable. Its onboard surround sound capabilities and deep connectivity make it a versatile choice for sports, entertainment, corporate, and festival productions.

Ideal Use Cases

• National & Regional Sports Broadcasts
• Live Entertainment Specials & Music Tours
• Corporate Events & Townhalls
• Remote UHD-HDR Production
• Worship & Festival AV Capture
