Video switchers under $2,000 for corporate events — what’s worked well for you?

10 Upvotes

I’m still learning about video switchers for corporate presentations and small company livestreams. For those who’ve used hardware switchers under $2,000 in these settings, what would you recommend based on your experience, and were there any limitations that only became obvious once you started using them?

Analog Way Aquilon Controller

Aside from the RC400T(which sucks) or a Stream Deck(which rocks) what does anyone use for a controller on an Aquilon? We are wanting to create a more Broadcast ME switcher feel for our Camera's inputs and main output.

BRC-AM7 and AW-UE160 for tacking and stabilization?

0 Upvotes

Heyo, we have a slight wall vibration in our back wall where we need to mount the camera, and curious if either of these models’ image stabilization is effective.

Separately, are either good enough for auto tracking a speaker who is walking lightly around the presentation stage? It’s a small corporate stage.

Thanks!

Cheap iPad sized sceen?

1 Upvotes

I'm not 100% sure if this is the right subreddit, I also do not know much terminology, but basically what I need is a small cheap screen for an art project. All I need it to be able to do is play a video, not even with sound. The video quality doesn't have to be amazing either.
Just a small cheap screen that can play a video. I'm hoping for =<30$, but please let me know what prices tend to look like. Thank you!

Are there anyway to playback video from USB on TV without the progress bar/media control popping up.

7 Upvotes

Sometimes I have works that requires me to install unattended TV for exhibition and the exhibitor wanna plug in their own USB into the TV, but everytime the video ends and goes to the next one or when it loops the progress bar keeps popping up. Are there any way to set this on the TV itself. Preferably without having to plug another device into the TV. The TV that I have are Samsung's and LG's.

Need some help identifying the correct connector

My company just very recently got it's first real LED wall, only 65 panels (absen PL2.5 Pro v2), but a good first step. Along with 2 Novastar VX1000 Pros and a CVT10-Pro-S. The VX1000s just have empty SFP+ cages, which I can easily source transceivers for.

The CVT-10 Pro-S has the pictured Neutrik Optical connectors. I'm just flat not familiar with them. All of my existing fiber is single-mode, which the CVT-10 Pro is the "-S" model. But all my spools are LC-LC.
Just wanted to ask you all if these are just fancy Neutrik LC duplex connectors or some sort of OpicalCon? And if the latter, is there any adapters to use my existing reels?

Ideally I'd like to move away from LC down the road. I'm working on racking all of my FIDOs, considering moving to ST for some panel mount connecting? I'm open to opinions and experience.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, does anyone know if it’s possible to get 5376x1536 video playback from Mitti into an E3 using a single USB-C to display port connector? I’m using a M1 MAX MacBook Pro

I've been given $5,000 to build rolling flats or something and assemble a better set. Mostly do interviews, but have a few different events that we do and need to have a few different looks so that everything doesn't look the same. Any suggestions?
