Hey EHSTC,
We've used a Panasonic MX-70 in our control room everyday for the last
couple of years (although I'm not a fan of it & will be replacing it
soon and relagating it to remote duty where it is better suited), so I
can answer any specific questions you may have. There's also a lot of
stuff that the manual does not address.
A few more bits of info could help us in the newsgroup get you moving:
What switcher did you have before?
How much familiarity do you have with switcher set-ups and operation?
What types of programs/projects are you looking to use the MX-70 for?
(talk shows, news/morning announcements, etc.)
Did you guys get the regular composite set-up of the switcher (or did
you get the SDI expansion card)? Using SDI, Y/C or component limits
you to just 4 inputs on the switcher. Using composite gives you full
access to all 8 inputs.
Did you get the 3D effects card or no?
Do you have (or are planning to have) a CG feeding the switcher? And
if so, what CG are you using? Does it have a key output?
Are you planning to use the audio mixer built in or do you have a
separate audio board? (Why the audio mixer takes up so much space on
the switcher is beyond me, but I understand that Panasonic was trying
to make a complete all-in-one production unit)
Please give a little more info about the planned set-up and how much
experience you have with switchers so I can have a starting point, and
I'll be glad to give any additional help I can.
