Could you describe your project?

The HDC-P31 is around $30,000, too rich for my blood.

Have you looked at the BlackMagic cameras?

How will you switch among these six cameras?

Reviewing and updating Dante certification. Used a few systems with Dante about 5 years ago. Now designing a new studio production setup based around the Solid State Logic System T.

CBTE certification. Planning on doing the CBNE or CBNT. Have always enjoyed attending SBE meetings. I feel we need to work to get more involved in these professional organizations.

Money is an object in my current project. Looking at Sony HDC-P31 box camera or PWX-X400 to go on a Telemetrics Robotics system. About $2500/ea price difference,  adds up over 6 cams. Still deciding which to go with.

Where and for whom did you operate this TK-31?

Southern California members should consider the Society of Television Engineers. StE meets third Thursday of the month for a dinner meeting at the Elks Lodge in Glendale. STE-CA.0rg for info.

I have been a SMPTE member for a few months now, and I thought I would find out what value others get or don't get from a SMPTE membership.

I get the Motion Imaging Journal from their labyrinthine web site which they share with IEEE. Lately they've had articles about video over IP. If I ever want to redesign the TV station I don't own for video over IP, then I'm all set.

What benefits do you get from SMPTE membership? Or is there a reason you have not joined?
