[AG-TECH] broadcast quality video

[Eric Hepburn]

We are using the following broadcast quality cameras in our facility:
CCU: Panasonic WVE590
Camera: Panasonic AWE 300
We are in the process of setting up an AG-PIG machine using these cameras (by feeding an S-Video feed from the cameras to the Osprey Capture cards through a video switcher).  We should have the installation completed within the next week.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  If you'd like to get a feel for our facility in general you can check out our website at http://www.aces.utexas.edu
The cameras and video switching gear was originally installed for videoconferencing, we are basically adding the AG-PIG system as an alternative CODEC into our existing AV infrastructure, giving us AG access in our 5 videoconference capable rooms.

PS  We are also using Microsoft's experimental ConferenceXP software on the same system with the Osprey capture cards, so far so good...

Does anyone have experience using broadcast quality cameras rather then 
the Sony DVIs?  We have a multi-use room and are looking to be able to 
produce a broadcast quality video from presentations in the room as well 
as participating in AG.

Thanks,
