Excellent. That is another useful datapoint.

My fault, I forgot to mention that. We burned some time trying to figure out why the software focus didn't work until we discovered this.

We originally were sending the CCU info via the router but that wouldn't scale for us and would use up too many outputs on the router when we fully deploy so we went ahead and bought the SDI Distribution. Was doubtful if it would help w/the zoom but surprisingly it did.

Anyone here getting their hands on the Broadcast G2? I would be very interested to see some test footage with the LA16x8BRM. I'm hoping for improved low light, sharpness wide open, and perhaps some sort of wizardry that might even further improve the chromatic aberration that is visible at full zoom as shown in MadPanic's sample video at 1:30 (thanks for your sample videos!)
