I did an unboxing for the Paladin computer I received today. Check it out, so far so good. I like the iPad control. Runs wirecast well. Also on Tuesday August 20th at 3:30pm EST 12:30pm PST I will have the CEO and co-founder on to talk about the unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sea-R...PzTPvb&index=1

To me it looks like a computer with Black magic capture cards. the price on the website is 5000 dollars. a little high if you ask me

[thetechbuzz]

Maybe, but find another computer that thin, light, and with full processor and high end specs as this. People forget when they see boxes like this the $120 for Windows, $1000 for the capture card, $1000 for Wirecast or Vidblaster or whatever your poison is. and your paying maybe $2000 for a custom, portable box with the ability to stream professional HD-SDI. If someone can make one cheaper I invite you to do so, thinner, lighter, and more powerful then this and post it.

From the looks of their website, I think VidBlaster/Wirecast is extra. So its, $5k plus $1k.

Heck, you could get a Tricaster for that.

I think you are generally paying for form factor.
