![]() Sadly IT and networking understanding is severely lacking in the production world, but it doesn't need to be! Just have a go! I just built a 20 endpoint 4k video IP matrix on a 11 year old 10G switch, having never touched anything beyond a bit of VMix and a couple NDI streams before. If they're lil action cams, presumably you're doing some conversion already? It may have been no more expensive to convert to IP rather than SDI. I'm sure the suppliers of the IP gear you would have bought would have been happy to advise, and there's often IT teams or experts available to help there too. But it makes me a little uneasy any time there's an opportunity for new techniques, especially to deliver a substantially better outcome, and the choice is to do it the older way rather than using it as a learning opportunity. ![]() I appreciate trying to deliver something functional within your skillset! Safe move. You're right to be worried about bandwidth though the system would need a good deal of planning and consideration, just from a network aspect instead of SDI. With 40x 4K cameras you're definitely out of what I'd trust VMix for, but well within the realm of the higher end IP mixers. I just wonder if you could have done it with a lot more flexibility, less hardware and overall less cost! Save headaches replacing anything that fails, as that stuff won't be available for replacement in 3+ years when the new version of whatever device is outĭon't get me wrong- this is a really cool build and there's nothing wrong with it! BMD gear gets a lot of hate, but it works, so long as you don't assume anything and work within the specs. Save a monumental amount of money on BMD hardware Be ready for any post or editing immediately, no time spent ingesting records Do all of your iso records/replays also in-the-box, meaning you can have replays available inside the mixing engine without doing any external routing or switching Mix entirely in-the-box, at the high end with a Ross system or Panasonic KAIROS or something, down to options like VMix, etc etc. Save on SDI cabling as you're using only one cable for control and video ![]() If they're modern cameras they probably have an IP output, otherwise convert to smpte2110 (or even NDI) at the camera, then you can: This seems like it might have been a really good opportunity to go for a full IP video pathway.
