Umm well im not sure what switcher we had before.....ill find out.
Also i am considered pritty skilled in hookup, setting up, and normal
switcher tech stuff. we might have gotten the 3D card, againg, alot of
our new stuff is in boxes still. We are using it for our Morning news
show, with weather (green screen and chromakey). we were not planning
on using the audio, being we have a good sound system. Other than
that, i really havent gotten the new switcher hooked up yet.....in a
few weeks, after spring break, is when i hope to get it up and
running.
Now a few questions that my teacher had before we started playing with
this was :
1: how do we do basic camera cuts. sounds stupid, but it is a
different setup from our old switcher, and is not mentioned in the
manual.
2:also how do we do Chromakeying. the manual is VERY hard to
understand.
3: do we need to hook up a computer for the board to work?
thanks foir your help
