As we continue on the series of creating a Media Dept./Team - Last week we discuss picking out video cameras. This week - video switcher/mixer, this requires a bit of research. The purchase a video mixer can easily reach $5,000 - $10,000 for a mid-range mixer. You have to take in consideration audio, special effects, if you will travel or in studio, traveling you want a carrying case specialized for video mixers, monitors - to save money we use two portable DVD players. For a newbie I would suggest a mixer with at least 3 input sources, maybe preview capabilities. The choices are endless; I am in the mist of upgrading our 2 channel mixer to at least a 4 channel, for the moment I have no recommendations. We shall educate one another. If you just want experience or maybe an option is video mixer software. I prefer the video mixer.
