Re: storage for 5-6 camera mix in post

more of this and i'll become a vegetarian - Thank G_d for COW

It must be my ignorance that's confusing you. We had been offered the older MX-70, widely used in the region, and not the HS400A, primarily because guy who plans all our equipment is a lights and sound specialist and knows less about broadcast than i do. We don't really have good TV / broadcast technology people over here and i'm being pressured to order equipment as soon as possible.

I'm looking forward to the AJA Ki Pro, because i'm mostly a filmer (and lecturer on documentary film, propaganda and public diplomacy) using HVX200s and FCS, so the Ki Pro could be ideal - though i'm quite happy with my firestore, it has its drawbacks.

For the past two weeks now, i've had to brush up on broadcast equipment and i feel a little lost at times. The other, main problem we have is that we work with a TV station, that, like all others here, lacks skills and motivation and a lot of the shots and cuts look unprofessional. That's why we want - actually: need - the possibility of doing additional, 'corrective' mixing after the recording. And, of course, we want to do it on a tight budget.

Aprt from the talk show, which requires, IMHO, a 5-6 Camera set-up, we also want to be able to frequently film and mix lectures and seminars by ourselves. I suggested the option of using remote cameras and we were offered the Sony BRC300, which we now want to use as our main cameras (4 of them) plus one 'real' camera on a dolly.

Do you know if these BRC300s are suitable? They look a bit flimsy to me.
