Abundant Life Family Worship Church installs Broadcast Pix Slate 5000 video production system to improve the quality of its multi-camera video production and IMAG capabilities.

Anthony Burokas | HD video mixers aren’t cheap, but they do offer amazing functionality inside compact boxes. I recently put Panasonic’s AV-HS400N through its paces during an awards ceremony. I found much to like, and a few minor issues. Overall, I came away impressed and look forward to technologies like this becoming more affordable in the years to come.

Anthony Burokas | With its TriCaster TCXD850, NewTek has put all the functionality of a sports production tractor trailer inside a Mini Cooper Clubman. This Mini spent the fall traveling around the country as part of NewTek TriCasts America “Varsity Tour.” EventDVLive had an opportunity to speak with the lead presenter, Don Ballance, at the tour’s second stop in Dallas.

Broadcast Pix has introduced Slate Portable, a new production truck in a briefcase for mobile production crews, featuring live a HD/SD switcher, multi-view monitoring, CG, 8 external SDI and analog inputs, and QuickTime, ProRes, and H.264 format support.
