First let me say hello to you all! I've been lurking on this website for a while and have gotten some great info from it.
However, I have been doing some research and wanted some other opinions out there so here goes.
I'm looking at getting a new video switcher for my venue, or come up with a good alternative to make my current system work, but we mainly handle simple presentations and film festivals. The latter being the one I'm more focused on at the moment.
Currently, I have the Panasonic AG-HMX100 3D, which is a great switcher, but it's biggest drawback is no HDCP. This is especially a problem since most of the times, I have film makers bring me Blu-Ray. If I want to use the switcher I basically have to downgrade to composite, which I know I can get HD from, but I lose my multi-view monitor. Even with doing this method, I still have some issues.
So, I was thinking about just getting a solid switcher, that also supports HDCP, so I was thinking something from Barco. I wanted to hear from the film guys out there what they use though, as entering into the cinema side of things is relatively new for me.
Thanks all
