I own more than a few BMD Products
Studio Resolve (Thank YOU!)
Speed Editor (Thank YOU!)… how I got Studio (Thank you again)
Mini Panel (Thank YOU again).. got another Studio Resolve (Bonus)
Pocket Cinema 6k Pro (That I kitted out) Very Happy with it (Thanks Again)… but it comes with a hang-over, and another studio resolve (Extra Bonus!)
ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (Maybe another copy of Resolve Studio… thank you regardless)
So now I am having some eco-system issues:
I want to run a VERY simple 2 camera Basement Studio Setup.
Before you rush ahead…. Lets agree that this is a VERY simple studio setup (We’ll come back to this soon)
So I go shopping…. at BMD. For an A/B Camera (Hey, I’m invested right?)
Lots of selection… I have a 6K, its talking Head… I can get away with a 4K B-Cam for Cuts in post, but still have some live stream capabilities that I can control in a switcher right?
At this point I would like to make clear that I am not trying to “stream” at 4K (although that option should be available already… keep reading). Lets ASSUME I am trying to stream at 1080P…
So clearly I can simply output an SDI or HDMI from Camera to ATEM EXTREME and all conversions happen on-board (great!).
Problem…. I would like to record this nice 6K and maybe clean it up in post for another deliverable. Or just save a damn clip for that matter. I would also like to do stream it live (1080p is fine!)
Out of the 6K Pro it is local only. HDMI is 1080p (My F-ing a6300 can do a clean feed 4K/30).
So at this point I should be looking for a Studio Camera. Which surely can output 6K via SDI and 4K via HDMI right? Oh wait it gets a whole lot worse…
Lets remind you I am doing a basement home 2 cam studio. Hoping to record 4K and stream at whatever (I have a 1Gbps Fibre line).
Why is this impossible? Or at the very least F-ing TV Studio expensive and utterly convoluted?
I have BIG questions:
1) Why are the Hyperdeck 4K Pro only a single SDI input/output????????????
Why can’t I have a simple multi-port pass-through, which records in 4K or lower and pass through the device to your web presenter…. which does the scaling?)
Rhetorical question… I know, so;
2) #1 would suggest that we logically need a switcher before the recorder, and simply record the ISOs…. Except we CAN’T. Well we can…. but we instantly get converted to 1080p… for both stream &&&&& Record <gun to my head>
Or, at least not without spending $15,000.00 for a single camera setup. <2 guns to my head>
Reminder…. Looking to add a camera to a basement studio. That 15K doesn’t include a studio camera… with the fluff/gear also needed (I am not going to dive into the MFT… because the back-end is so F-ing broken before we even get that far, but it deserves mention)
It’s a F-ing Studio Camera!!!! We don’t need 60fps…. we need 6K with some crop room in post for 4K delivery! It’s a STUDIO CAMERA!
Great you added some Outputs/Inputs…. but what are you connecting these things to?
Oh…. ethernet to converter. Which will provide the power… but needs to be powered itself to accommodate….
Why do I need a converter again? Especially since it just converts things back to SDI, which I can output natively. Oh… and why don’t I just power the camera directly?
More importantly;
Why does the converter only have 1 ethernet port? Shouldn’t it be a switch, so that we plug the camera in and then plug it into the network for the A/V switch to control? Wait… explain again why we even need the converter? On that note, we’ll dig even deeper… why 1080p on all HDMI?
I went shopping… all I bought was a boat-load of free questions…..
