Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Going Digital?

You need to hire a local consultant/reseller to walk you through all the possibilities. Call Willow Creek or Saddleback to see what they do. My church uses cameras on triax, recording direct to FCP. There are so many ways to do this. You need to sit down with an experienced reseller to hash out your goals and budget.

I think I misused the word "digital"
Because the information in the tape is digital. I meant tape less.
What they are telling me to do is kind of confusing that's why I would like some opinions and advice on this.

We shoot the church services. Here is a brief description of our setup: we have three cameras and send the video signal to a Panasonic switcher using an S- video cable. The camera director decides which camera goes live and the video is recorded in a deck on tape.

Someone is suggesting (this someone is a computer expert but does not have any experience in video) that we send the video signal from the cameras via firewire to a computer software which would allow to do the switching. He says that using the S cable is sending an analog signal to the switcher which is digital and that would eliminate that conversion so everything from the beginning will be Digital. So I quite don't understand all that. I don't know if that would improve the video quality somehow. I also have conerns with the archival process in a server.
