Video hookup/record/distribution -
#2
I have a few years experience with live video shoots, but all the shoots I've been involved in utilized multiple cameras and a production team.

Your client only wants a single camera? You might consider posing the idea of getting multiple cameras, a switcher, and doing live video shoots. It *could* be an added source of income in the future and may be nice to have for holidays, special occasions, people who are unable to attend regularly, weddings, ect.


But, if a single camera is all that's desired, the output still works the same.

Have you given consideration as to the size of the monitors to display the video? My opinion is that if your source is going to be a composite signal, you may as well make sure the destination accepts that. You could just pick up standard LCD TVs with Composite inputs, any standard DVD recorder, ect. There are plenty of video distribution amplifiers available reasonably cheap. The main thing to be concerned about will be cable quality over the potentially long runs you'll be having. You should do alright with RG-59 cabling.

I'm a bit rusty on things, I haven't worked with "live-to-tape" productions in 2 or so years, but I'll try to help with anything you have questions with. (I've been doing post productions editing lately). The biggest shoot I worked with was a 7 camera, live-edit production that fed 4 TVs and 3 projectors. I miss it...
