Hi Lear.
I do not have a specific “shopping list.” Sorry! NIPROS is not necessary, that is a Sony specific thing. Stick with one model of camera for the most uniform look. The NewTek VT5 is what I would buy if I were outfitting a studio. This gives you all the power of studio production within a computer. I’ll have more info on that system posted in a few weeks because a friend of mine uses it and I shot some video with him.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for these extremely useful bits of information!

I am in the process of creating a proposal for a community TV show, one to two-hours long to air through Comcast. I am pricing, as we speak, all studio components. The show will be tape-live in format. While most information is available herein, is there a specific ’shopping list’ available anywhere, even for a cost? I am specifically hoping to find a comprehensive list with equipment that integrate well with one another, from cameras to video-switchers to computers etc. Also, is NIPROS system mentioned above necessary for the format I am talking about?

Again, thanks immensely for this great source of information!

Hi.

I do have a suggestion. Try boinxTv. I have not personally used it but it sure sounds wonderful if it indeed works as well as the advertising indicates. If you get it, let me know how you like it!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and for your suggestion of the switcher. The only issue that I’m having with that is that I’m using all Mac products to capture and do most of my post. Since my budget is not too high, I can’t afford to purchase another computer system since I already have one.

Any suggestions for anything that will support a Mac OS

Hi. Glad if this post helped you. All these comments plus the article and there truly is a lot of information here! The Sony EX3 sure is a gorgeous camera for ten grand. From what I have read, the NIPROS studio configuration seemed like a great idea. For a switcher, think about getting one of the new computer packages that can do everything a switcher can and more. Look into the New Tek 5. http://www.newtek.com/vt/
That is NOT an affiliate link. But I still recommend that product. I have a long time video pal who uses it and loves it. In fact I will be posting a video of him and his mobile video van in the not-too-distant future. Good luck to you! Keep in touch.

Great article! I’m in the process of putting together a proposal for a television show that will be airing on a national level. I’m used to the one camera set as a director but have previously done studio configuration production and directing… in college! The article helped out a lot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with everyone else in this industry.

Does anyone have any comments on the Sony NIPROS studios configuration mount for the Sony EX-3 camera and types of switchers that won’t kill my budget too much?
