Portable Video…

Our team has been getting this cool portable video rig out the door this week and I thought it would be cool to share.  This rig is comprised of…

  • Blackmagic Design 1 M/E, 8 input – 3 aux production switcher
  • 2 rackmount video monitors – one for the switcher multi-view and one for the system control Mac Mini
  • Macbook Pro running ProPresenter with confidence monitor output
  • AJA KiPro for message playback
  • 2 channel intercom system
  • Capacity for 4 camera IMAG, a second GFX computer, and Quips
  • System control Mac Mini running switcher controller software and other production related apps
  • Plenty of storage for pieces and parts needed on site

You wouldn’t believe the quality level of the output of a video rig like this, how easy it is to use, as well as the advancement in technology in the past 12 months that puts a rig like this at a previously unheard of price point.  Fun stuff…

    Tim, Do what codec does the KiPro use to playback the message? We're still using DVDs because we can't find a stable format to play through Propresenter.

    Hey, just something to consider, you could secure that mac mini with something like this: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/rackmacmini.html?utm_source=mactech&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=rmm300 The rack looks good!
