Mixing the FX-1

So tell me anyone. I am upgradding my three camera switch system to the FX-1s and was wondering what switcher I could use to mix the high def signal before going to hi def deck. Was hoping to find a switcher that wouldn't cost a house. any advise would be helpful.

There isn't one currently that will pass the M2T signal, but I'm sure it won't be long. You could always use the uncompressed out of the cam and go into an analog switcher.

The FX1 has component outputs on it, and they are uncompressed. Feed an HD capable switcher, you'll be great to go.

So no recomendations on an inexpensive switching solution. I can't find one for less then 10 grand. I am going to use these cameras for live concert switch. Not gonna do me much good if I cant afford the mixer. Gonna have to do some digging.

yeah, a switcher that will do uncompressed HD ain't gonna be cheap. And as I mentioned, nothing yet that can manage the M2T stream, because there currently is no hardware to decode it on the fly. But that's coming soon. TI, Philips, and Intel are all racing to the finish line.
