Recording multiple sources

[James O’malley]

Hi Klaus,
What about renting 3 Sony HDCAM SR decks, all machine controllable, use each deck’s dual stream HDSDI path to record 2 streams of 4:2:2 HD 60i to tape as your master archive, then for your internet elements, you can either capture the 3 dual stream feeds into 3 computers, or possibly rent 6x (AJA or BMD) H.264 converter boxes and convert each 4:2:2 stream into H.264 in real time.

I haven’t done this exact thing before, but it may be a solution for deck control and web ready content prep.

I wonder if “On air tools” software has the same limitations as the “softron” ones. they have one that’s called just:in.

I guess you could also get a Mac pro with a decklink quad and do 4 channels per Mac. but that might defeat the propose of what you are trying to do.
