By the way, I’m all about the EX. However, even though it’s a bit more weight, I prefer it’s big brother for balance, handling and lense. That will be a future purchase though.

Assuming a CDN is too expensive…. (devils advocate) can a company set up its own CDN/server? Or is that simply tooooo expensive?

I’ve got a MacPro 2.5ghz core 2 duo laptop and I run my internet through AirPort.

Here’s my scenario. I’m following a biologist through the woods, catching shots of wildlife. I’m going to be all across the country, and in Canada and Alaska (Alaska is another country, isn’t it, LOL) To start out I will limit my excursions to areas with cel service. But I would expect that, in the future, I will want to expand this to step outside those areas. If we have to preset microwave repeaters to relay the signal, then that’s not outside of the possibility. But ultimately, I will be shooting with a broadcast camera and wireless mics. That will be the content I want to deliver. Also, wether I have to use an intermediate service for serving the video or not, I want the streaming video to appear on our site with now outside ads or images influencing the look or function of the page.

I don’t ask for much, do I 🙂

Thanks a ton for the information. I’m wanting to be able to film adventures in the wilderness and stream live. For that reason I will want to pack as little electronics as possible. One guess is that I might have to have a custom, ram only computer made with just the right ports to feed a signal from the camera, a wireless card or some way of getting the stream to a server, and a port I can hook to a basic lcd screen.

Thanks Matt, that along with changing the keyboard option worked perfectly. I owe you!

Thanks Donald,
I goofed. If I had said PPI, I might have gotten the answer I was
looking for. The real issue is, I’ve been doing it right for many years and
it’s looked great. Now suddenly, things are looking all wacked up. I was
assuming it would be a problem other folks are experiencing (maybe because
of a program update or OS upgrade, and that maybe someone figured out why.
I shoot and edit both HD and SD, but on this project it’s SD.

Actually the resolution’s not the problem. I’ve also imported some images as 144+ DPi to do moves and still get the same issue. It looks like the lines of resolution are being halved. Horizontal resolution looks ok, but it’s the vertical that looks to be the problem. Here are links to two images that show the problem. https://www.roadrunnerproductions.tv/hirez_jpeg_imported.psd and https://www.roadrunnerproductions.tv/lower_3rd_overlay.psd

Well guys, it was the computer that had the problem. One of the fans wasn’t working properly, and they replaced the power supply. It didn’t help that we had the heat wave this summer. Thanks for everyones input!

Boris,
I’m going to give that a last ditch effort. Thanks for the tip. I’ll let you know what happens.

Thanks Walter! I cloned the system last night before I reinstalled everything. The computer is hardly a year old. Just my luck I guess.
