: I am looking for a simple switcher for a live two camera shoot. Does anybody have any suggestions (other than the mx-1)? Thanks!
****************************************************************
If you will go on EBAY and go to the professional video section and type in< Vertical interval switcher you will find them in any # of configurations.
Generally they will have a program out,a monitor out, and usually 4 to 6 inputs.
They switch the source at the vertical point in the interlaced frame and you will not get the glitching that is associated with the cheapos at Wally Mart.
They are made by Panasonic and Extron and a few others.
Some have just push buttons and some have buttons along with capability for a remote switch.
I use these when I do not have anything but a straight cut from scene to scene as in a sporting event.
If you want fades and transitions then go with the MX-1 or the Digital MX-1.
You cant beat these switchers for the money,(the best $500 you ever spent)DO NOT chase your tail buying all of the old has been switchers, they may look cool but they are CRAP! All of the older switchers are nothing but a headache and only a few have internal sync.
Hope this helps.
