I’m going to have to plead ingorance to the details of what autopatch can and can’t do. The one we are purchasing is srtictly a router. We are keeping our VDA’s. I mentioned their lifetime guarantee as a measure of what you get for the money. Every facility sets up diffrently (ours is a live control room set up instead of a post house set up.)I suggest you talk with Carol Evans at Saenc.com or your own vendor as to what covers your needs.
sorry I can’t be of more help

We have a 16X4 router made by leightronics and we have four VDA’s because we have a some long runs. I’m not the technical expert on this but I think a good router helps productivity.

We have just finished working with a company(saenc.com) to design a new control room for our Government Channel and we are getting a 32X32 Autopatch router (not component/sdi…strictly composite)

My understanding is that Autopatch offers a lifetime Guarantee on their routers (as long as you don’t move it after intial installation)

hope this helps.

I work for a local government channel in North Carolina. I went to NAB and checked out all the high end gear and formats and came back with the same decision as Mike did: The DSR-400 is a great camera for the price. We’ll be making the purchase in the next couple of days and I couldn’t be happier. I personally own a DXC-D30 with a BetaSP back as well as a Panasonic DVX-100a, and I’m confident this 400 will give me a sweet picture for years to come.
