On the bright side - Canon HV40's do SD-DV, HDV _and_ HDMI out. Do
they have a battery eliminator included, or do we need that too?</pre>

We do need a line item for assorted cables, otherwise we will be forced
to pay for them as required, without being funded by the grant. (More
likely after they're required, which is typical, but irritating)</pre>

Yes, such as the ExpressCard Firewire adaptors. Anyone want to jump
on a quote for that.<br>

<pre wrap="">Why get a Fury (to capture HDMI to Twinpact to PC), when you have HDMI

<pre wrap="">
Exactly. The Fury gives us a low CPU known working capture option for
HDMI from cameras and HDCP-producing consumer electronics, with a few
manual switch overides that could come in handy.
Direct HDMI capture doesn't give us any of that, but it's hopefully a
workable preferred option for future new equipment.</pre>

I suspect that after we have a working solution from the grant,
we'll want to tinker with purchasing a few additionals here and
there to play with anyway. We can always put in another grant
request to upgrade next year.
What we need to address is the failing hardware, the complexity of
the setup with additional screens and keyboards etc, and the
availability of two cameras. Given we have our second-hand one we
purchased, we have a spare already (or for bigger events).<br>
<br>
I also think we need more practice at producing a video. Having had
Mumble working last month, it made a big difference to the variety
of the content we could produce by coordinating vision switching and
camera adjustment. Be good to get the tally light stuff working as
well.<br>
