Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster here! I was hoping to get some CB expertise for my situation.
My company is looking to make the jump into video/multimedia production for our events. Up to now we have been 75% lighting 25% sound and sticking mostly to special events (product launches, corporate parties, small fashion shows, galas, private events, etc) We are slowly getting more requests for live production and video support for some larger shows. That being said we are looking to purchase a video/show control equipment to add to our rental stock to support conferences, meetings, general sessions-- essentially live events that require multiple projection screens, plasmas etc. Any suggestions/opinions on the list I compiled would be appreciated.
PS. Pardon my simplistic tech language as im sorta new in the video/multimedia world
So Ive been putting a budget together and it looks like we can muster up $30k-38k total.
Here are the capabilities I would like to have with this investment:
-Show control for multiple screen output/switching
-Edgeblending
-Basic 2D/3D mapping
-Interactive projections
-I-mag capabilities
Here is the list of equipment I am looking to get either used/new (am I missing anything/any items overkill for my needs?)
(2-4) 6k LCD projectors
(1-2) 10k-12k DLP projectors
(4) Da-lite fast fold screens (size suggestions)
(2) Plasmas (have 3 already)
(1) Axon Media Server
(1) Seamless switcher/scaler (Analog way? Folsom?)
(1) Signal converter
(1) HP PC w/ monitor
(1) MadMapper software
(2) Motion capture cams w/ software
(1) Assortment VGA 5' 10' 25' 50' cables
(5) DVI to VGA adapters
(2) 100amp distro box
Im sure serious systems have 10x more equipment, but I was hoping this would get us started. Im sure I am missing a few things both minor and major, any help here would be great (especially choosing models for these elements).
Thanks!
