This might also capture direct to networked storage for editors to immediately have to start working on packages.įrame sync - professional cameras are already gen-locked. Recording: might have a rack of Ki Pros for ISOs but this in sports is often a replay machine always recording and being run by one or more operators to deliver replay, highlights, and melts. Streaming might be handled at the source if it's college but likely an IP connection is being sent elsewhere to then be streamed. Streaming: this is more distribution than "streaming." Could be satellite, IP delivery, in arena, local broadcast, etc.

all become their own beasts and some entire departments.Īudio: a whole team micing and mixing a variety of sources via dedicated audio consoles that cost as much or much more than a Carbonite. Audio, camera control, distribution, recording/replay, etc. Not only this but brining in more people to work larger/better productions removes some of these aspects. I'd just like to realise what additional stuff people would use alongside such a device! There are also features on the Carbonite not found on the Atem, such as ability to play video clips the MiniMEs (which I would find very useful) better chroma key a better hardware panel SDI lots of aux outputs etc. I guess if I wanted to use more than six inputs, I'd need cameras that were capable of genlock?ĭon't get me wrong, I'm super aware that the Carbonite would be a much more reliable device, and the company would provide better support. I doubt I'd have an issue here, since the Carbonite Solo has six frame synchronisers, which would probably be enough. (I guess I'd need the same on the audio side as well, although I know a lot of digital desks can handle recording each channel.) The downside would be that each input would be recorded on a separate drive, I'd have to start/stop them all separately, and they wouldn't be timecode synced, right? Does there exist a device that records multiple SDI streams at once? Or should I be looking at one device per channel but somehow automating them to all start/stop at the same time?įor the cutlist/EDL, I've seen devices that hook up to the GPIOs and create an XML file that can be imported into FCP/Premiere. Just to record each input seems to require a bunch of separate recording devices, one per input.

The Iso recording functionality on the Atem is awesome: the main advantages I can see are, you get all the recordings on one disk, already timecode synced, including each audio channel and you get the DaVinci Resolve file with all your cuts. Get a box along the lines of the BlackMagic Web Presenter, feed the program signal into it, and let that handle the streaming.Īgain this one should be easy - hook up a recorder like a Hyperdeck, and manually kick off the recording on that device. What sort of devices would people use to extract and combine the audio from the SDI/HDMI? And would a standard mixing desk like I'd use to do sound tech for a live gig be appropriate, or is there something more video-focussed? Then if Audio-follows-video is desired, use the GPIO outputs of the Carbonite to trigger channel mute on the mixer. I think the best thing to do would be to extract audio from the SDI/HDMI streams before they enter the Carbonite, feed them into an audio mixer, and then mux the output of the mixer into the program out after it leaves the Carbonite. So I'd like to think what else would be needed to replicate all the functions of the Atem.įrom what I've read, there's no point running audio through the Carbonite.

But it seems that professional gear, even low-end professional, tends to focus on one thing and do it well, rather than throwing a bunch of other features into the same box. As far as video mixing goes, it'll run rings around the BlackMagic. I've read a few threads recently about what is the next step up from BlackMagic prosumer gear, and Ross Carbonite seems highly recommended. This is mainly a thought experiment for me at the moment, but one day I'll have the necessary budget!
