Red MultiCam live Mixing for Cinemas

[Jack Cooper]

Have you seen this bad boy? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._AV_Mixer.html

David...If you look at the images of the connections on the back...I'm not thinking that Panasonic will accept HD-SDI...It looks only SD...I haven't used this before, but a quick call to a tech rep should confirm. That would eliminate Red Ones...However, the HDMI port (it has two) might give you access to the Epic stream.

Also of note...this Panasonic device appears to only have the mix/switch functions. The pricing differentials on the Tricaster represent the "streaming" functions that are in addition to the more traditional mix/switch. Hence, no ethernet connect on the Pani -- I'm not sure if this was an original spec requirement from Jim.

Thanks for the revived interest all, but my post was in regards to a specific brief about 9 months ago so I'm not currently seeking info.

The thread was brought back to life this morning, after laying dormant since September.

Feel free to carry on to share Tricaster info, but I'm sorted.

Thanks guys!

Jim, Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Still a subject of interest and I wonder if anyone will be using Red's with a cheap switcher for pretty event work.

Jack, I found this in the specs:
SDI Input BNC (4 sets)
SD serial digital signal: SMPTE259M-C/272M-A and ITU-R BT.656-4 standards
HD serial digital signal: SMPTE292M/296M/299M standards

it looks like it should be good to go.

I like that it can switch 2 3d 1080/23.98 streams. Kinda sexy.

David,

Would be interested to know if anyone has any field experience with the panasonic device. At that price point, it seems to be a really good value in light of the ability to accept the HD-SDI inputs. If your not streaming, I would seriously be considering using that equipment.

It would nearly double the gear cost, but you could loop it through something like a Teradek Odyssey and then take that into an Atomos Samurai over the SDI. For an extra $4.5k you could be streaming and get an uninterrupted record of your entire event in Prores. Or you could maybe get one of those JVC stand alone bluray burners to make a master for your client and then use its pass-through hooked up to a Teradek Cube to go out to the internet. So many choices these days.
