Hello folks,New board member here. Our church is beginning a new Television Ministry. I have been researching several cameras and have tentatively settled on the HVX200. We would be purchasing 3 cameras and mastering to BetaSP. (Using FCP and 2 Alesis 24HD's for audio capturing)Does anyone have any input as to the viability or liability of using the HVX200 for this task?Thanks in advance for your help b3enthusiast
Are you shooting the church service or segments to be played back in service?
Dear Tom,We will be shooting the service with 3 cameras and then importing into FCP and mastering for a weekly broadcast on a national religious network. As of the moment we have no plans to do any switching in a live service. Thanks for your quick reply b3enthusiast
As long as you are not switching you should be O. K. There are other cameras better suited for that. You should be fine with the HVX but maybe you should try a test shoot before buying 3 cameras. The HVX needs a fair amount of light to get a great picture. I'm sure you could find someone who would donate their time/camera or charge a modest rental fee. Also put a camera at the back of the church to see if you need a long lens (teleconvertor).
THe HVX would be great for this purpose as long as the sanctuary has adequate lighting. These days most do. Should you want to ever switch the cameras that is also possible even without genlock as now there are S video and even firewire switchers. I built a TV ministry using ENG camcorders on large Pelco security camera remote mounts along with VX-1000's in more conspicuous locations over 10 years ago and the results looked great.
