[AG-TECH] HD devices within an Access Grid setup

[Vine, Derek A]

We will be using the Vaddio WallVIEW HD-18 DVI/HDMI in our new HD room later this summer.  It features a quick-connect box and ez-cabling over cat5.  On the quick connect there are DVI and component outputs, and a composite output is available on the camera.  Unlike the Sony HD1, all outputs from the HD-18 are live all the time.

The DVI/HDMI option was just announced at InfoComm last week, I have been told that the camera will begin shipping by July.

G'day All

Quick question.  I have a colleague interested in using HD devices within an Access Grid setup.

Obviously they are looking to use the "Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro" capture cards, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice with HD cameras that have HDMI output?  Does anyone have any particular setup that they are currently using?  Obviously there are many "handy cam" cameras, but having P/T/Z capability would be a huge benefit.

Thanks in advance,
Jason.
