Hey All! So I am looking into upgrading our video switcher/scaler (Kramer VP-729) to a live no stutter or Fade-to-black switcher. The other thing is that it has to do is handle lots of different styles of inputs and output to VGA 1024x768 (native projector).
Our input devices right now include:
- 2 VGA from PC laptops onstage over a cat5 extender
- 2 HDMI from 2 mac mini's (qlab and protools for a class)
- Occasionally a composite signal over BNC->RCA from a tri-caster switcher for live cameras.
It outputs to a VGA CAT5 extender to our projector.
Ideally the new switcher would be able to handle all those along with at least 3 HD-SDI inputs for future PTZ cameras. I also want to have either a matrix view or at minimum a program/preview screen.
Suggestions?
