Video Mixer selection
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 12:50 am
I'm looking for suggestions and input on selecting a reasonable video mixer to use with our building to building broadcast of stake conference. We use multiple cameras. Last conference we just used a simple video switcher (AKA a "glitcher switcher"). It worked, but I would like to move to something where we can fade between cameras and have it be less disruptive. The mixer will be located in the satellite equipment room where we locate the operator. One camera is remotely operated and mounted on the ceiling in the back. An additional camera is fixed on a tripod on the side in the overflow area.
I would like to stay near or below about $1000. Used equipment is OK with me if it's on eBay regularly.
Features to consider:
- accommodate 3 or 4 video sources
- since we have different cameras, it would be nice to be able to adjust saturation / hue on each input to match each other better
- it doesn't need to mix audio since that will be a fixed input from the building mixer
- we really only need a basic fade - fancy transitions will not be used for stake conference
- no need for High Definition support
- (any other items to consider?)
Does anyone have experience with the Panasonic WJ MX20 (used) or the Numark AVM02?
What have you used? Were you satisfied with the solution? What would be your ideal solution on an economy budget?
Thanks!
