That's awesome! Love it! :)
Thank you sir. It is definitely time for me to switch gears a bit. I do web design and was, at the end of my radio career, Director of Digital, but it is time to move away from it and focus on my passion, which is producing entertaining broadcasts via the web.
Brad wow what as great looking setup. Glad you are back on the site!
Too many photos to load here. So you can see FalconsTV setup here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Falco...=photos_stream
Both at our home stadium and on the road! I can just about get all of the equipment into the boot of a Cruze with a few items on the back seat!
Wow! That is an awesome setup! I have so many questions. I think I saw 1 wireless transmitter. Can you explain what gear you are using? Cameras (models), mics, vMIX etc. This looks like an affordable production. Thanks for posting the pics AndrewSeabrook!Quote:

A Beringer x2224 mixer. I typically bring in 6-7 video feeds either from cameras, direct from the commentator's laptop, or from a webcam on the commentators. Camera are a mix of Canon Legrias and Panasonic (all PAL). I will standardise on all Canons as I can afford to. Mikes are Audio Technicas (BPHS1 and ATR2100-USB's). The switching software is VidBlaster, but eagle eyes will notice vMix and Wirecast with the same camera setups in the photos. For fast live action, I find VidBlaster the best to use but as vMix matures that might change. For talking heads shows, any of the products are more than good enough. My intercom system consists of a Galaxy Audio AS-900-4 AnySpot Band Pack and a cheap wireless mike set from China. That allows me to configure comms to/from 4 production staff in stereo, so I can send the commentary feed on one channel, the director's feed on the other. I have a number of wireless HDMI senders/recievers which have proven to be very stable within a basketball stadium, so can run 4 HD cameras wirelessly. Back up high quality 30 metre HDMI cables are always there as well as well as many shorter ones. Some of the wireless transmitters operate as repeaters/splitters so I use them in my aquisition chain. Don't forget tripods! You will spend as much if not more on good quality tripods as you will on cameras. I have a number of "cheaper" units with fluid heads from China but the main camera is mounted on a Manfrotto. Monitoring feed for the commentators goes out through HDMI to a small LED TV which gives them a good view of the program feed. That feed is taken though an HDMI splitter and into external encoders/recorders.Live stats of the game are fed to the Commentators via a seperate laptop from FIBA Livestats.Quote:

Actiontec MyWirelessTV http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...reless_HD.html and Wavlink. The Wavlink seems to be discontinued which is a shame as it seems the most stable and uses a small USB dongle as a transmitter. The Actiontecs have a passthough port so I can also run a monitor on each camera.
Over this past weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with my brother in law at the Rascal Flatts / Sheryl Crow show here in Detroit. My brother in law is one of the main video guys on the tour. He's in charge of setting up things on the stage and running the video production during the show. It was exciting to get to see a concert from that side, rather than as a fan in the crowd. I was able to snap a few photos of the action and some of the equipment they use to produce what you see on the projection screens.

Ross Vision 3-ME (multi effect layers) HD Switcher
There are 2 people that run things inside the truck. One that directs using the Ross Vision HD Switcher and a second person that is using the control panel to continually adjust the exposure and shading of the video. A team of 3 people are actually on stage to shoot the band. And another 2 that control the 2 cameras at front of house with the Fujinon telephoto lenses.
Here it is, it's simple but it works.
