It was slightly used for a peg channel, still in great condition but we desperately need the money. </p> <p>Anyone interested?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/multicamera-shoot-basic-help-needed#post-70470 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 08:33:50 +0000 james5498 70470@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi All, </p> <p>I am really embarrassed to even post this, but I'll give it a shot (no pun intended).  </p> <p>For my business, I want to do a multicamera shoot.  Here is my hardware set up...I have 2 Panasonic HPX170's, each connected via SDI to a Panasonic HMX100 Video Mixer.  I have a regular LCD computer monitor connected to the HMX100 via DVI-D in addition to a AJA KI Proto connected to the HMX100 to serve as the recording device for the single video shot.  </p> <p>Now here is the dumb question (ready for it?):</p> <p>I cannot get the camera output for each camera to appear on the reference monitor.  It shows nothing.  Now I don't have P2 cards in the camera, b/c I don't think I will need them given I am recording the "mixed" video shot from the video mixer to the AJA Ki Pro.  But nothing appears and when I hit the record button on the camera, nothing happens.  I believe I have set up the mixer appropriately,  because the reference monitor does show 2 mini windows for the two cameras, but they are white and nothing shows up.</p> <p>Please help!  And please be kind!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/live-performance-recording-live-switching-options#post-65805 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:58:00 +0000 javapop 65805@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This is one of the most time consuming aspects of my business, I spend hours and hours mixing performances, and have tried an older MXPro in the past. Quality is really awful. Using HD cameras now (XHA1S), and even though we are shooting these SD; the quality bring in via FCP and editing multicam is so much nicer. </p> <p>Wondering if it may be good to use Canon FS-CF DTEs rather than fooling with tape, and tape issues that arise often; or trying a software based solution like <a href="http://www.telestream.net/wire-cast/wirecast-pro.htm">wirecast</a>?</p> <p>It just seems like getting a switcher that handles firewire is really going way out of our budget.</p> <p>Sure could use a little advise! Just finishing up Christmas performances this week.... ready to get these done much faster.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-cams-into-analog-switcher#post-61113 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:09:15 +0000 javapop 61113@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>We have just upgraded to Cannon XHA1s cameras; but could not upgrade our analog switcher (Focus MX4) and was wondering about the possibility of catching a signal from the cameras, and sending it to the switcher.</p> <p>The cameras have BNC outs, as well as RCA.... anyone have ideas?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-video-mixerdvr-setup-for-church#post-60032 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 11:25:28 +0000 XTR-91 60032@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am looking for a simple method of live editing for switching between a video stream coming from the camcorder and a presentation output from the projection system and channeling it to a DVR or small video recorder that stores video in full quality (non-web) format.  I am looking for at least 2 channels as well as a fader in the mixer. HD capability is highly preferable, so composite inputs would not be the best. What are the best, cheapest opions for a good, stable setup without quality degradation along the line of production - <strong>basic video mixer and DVR recorder</strong>?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gz-hd7-multi-cam-setup#post-41055 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:18:12 +0000 bishop1884 41055@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I need help with multi-cam setup. I have two JVC GZ HD7's for live talk show. Do I need an audio and video switcher?  How do I sync the cams? Should I just shoot and edit?  This is a new church project with no real experience and cost is out of my pocket. The studio room is complete with pro lighting. I also have Sennheiser lav mics. Thanks for your help,</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-cheap-video-mixer#post-41644 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:23:06 +0000 kr0490 41644@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Where can I buy a 4 channel video mixer, preferably that can do some basic fades and wipes, and possibly overlays.  It doesnt need to have high quality inputs.  BNC, composite, or S-video inputs are preffered.  Thanks!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/diy-video-switcher-out-of-existing-pc#post-41411 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:41:33 +0000 tedbragg 41411@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have a slowly dying Videonics switcher, and would like to use a spare Vista machine as a switcher/recorder.</p> <p>I have three cameras fed into the switcher via s-video to tape live events and church services. Audio is run from a mixer board. What I'm thinking of doing is putting three or four PCI tv tuner cards into the PC -- but i'm not sure if one PC can handle that many.</p> <p> What I'd really like to find is like the Canopus boards we used to have when I worked for Charter Cable. Four inputs on one card, onscreen previews of the video feeds in an easy to use switching program. This was back in the days of Win98 and Pentium II 266Mhz and only 256megs of ram. If that clunker could handle that, surely there's stuff out now that can do it, too.</p> <p>The Canopus boards are no longer around -- they were old when I got to use them. VidBlaster software is a reasonablepackage to handle multiple sources -- the only issue I'm faced with is getting those analog sources into the computer.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/camera-switcher-help#post-37881 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:04:33 +0000 Sikooz 37881@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ </p>
