Amazing – thanks for the feedback everyone. I had not even considered the idea of having a SDI over HDMI due to the reliability. I will definitely be looking into different cameras. It’s good to know that all the switching and replay gear should work together too.
It does lead me onto one more question; I’m worried the internet at the venue will not be able to deliver a reliable upstream with so many people probably using the wifi. Do you request a different internet connection, I’ve considered the use of dongles but I can imagine that would be even less reliable.
Thanks again for the feedback,
Rory
