Thank you Dan.

The idea is to view both cameras in production live while we shoot to make sure they will cut together well, both in terms of composition, light and color. We use two monitors now, but I think it would be more effective, as we work with a high volume of shots, to see the footage in the same monitor, shots side by side.

I’m not sure if the resolution issue you mention would compromise our goals or not.

If you still think a video switcher is necessary, could you recommend a video switcher?

Best Regards,
Rebecca

We used Rule Broadcasting (Boston) to build out our studio, and I thought they were excellent – great technical support. You might want to chat with Mike Sutton there.

Thank you all for your excellent suggestions. I’m happy to say that after a few weeks of building baffles, learning far more technology than my brain can fully process, and putting in some very long hours, we have a functional, two-camera HD studio built out!

The whole experience has been profoundly fulfilling both professionally and personally.

To follow up with all of you, I chatted with Bob Zelin as suggested, and he is a rock star. In about 15 minutes Bob was able to point us in the right direction, in terms of a suitable computer/editing system for our particular needs, and answer ALL of our questions in a simple, understandable way. Thank you, Bob, if you are reading this.

We ended up buying our equipment through Rule Broadcasting. I’ve rented from them before and attend their Learning Labs, but was not aware that they sell equipment as well. They (Mike Sutton is our contact) came and installed all the equipment for a modest markup, and have offered excellent tech support since.

We had our first shoot on Thursday, and it went well, although we’re still having trouble with our NRV10 Mixer being compatible with the Kona Card, and with the teleprompter software that came with the Flex-17 Prompter (it seems to have a mind of its own). Mike Sutton is coming by later today to troubleshoot both.

Thanks again!
