    Broadcast store

    Have any of you ever purchased anything from them? I need a certain part for my betacam and they seem to be the only folks who have it. Do they have a good rep? Thanks in advance.

    Shooting in Honduras

    There is a chance I may be heading to a very rural part of Honduras with a church on a mission trip in August. Has anyone on this website shot there before? Any information is appreciated.

    Anyone still using Newsbyte?

    A few years ago, I reviewed Newsbyte-50 for this website (in 2002 I think). As we all know, that's ancient history in terms of video editing. My station is in its second generation of editors since the old Newsbyte was hauled into WIS in 2001. I was just curious if there's anyone out there...

    Oldies but Goodies

    Does anyone collect old equipment? I've been searching TV stations here in town and elsewhere and buying old cams, decks and monitors. I've donated a couple of pieces to a museum in town, and I just wondered if anyone else collected any equipment. In my collection: - a Frezzolini LW-16 16mm...

    Ikegami HL-V55

    Any of you guys had experience with this camera? Was it good or bad? If one can be had for cheap, is it worth the money (cheap meaning $3000 or less)? Thanks in advance.

    Best Camera of All Time

    With all of the VJ stuff going on, I thought this would be a fun topic. Name what you think is the best ENG cam of all time. It doesn't have to be one you shot with. Also, take into consideration how well the camera performed overall, and how fun it made it to do your job. And when it comes...

    Golden Oldies

    I'm just curious, but with all of the new digital stuff out there, and that a low-end Rosenblum type cam is only $2000 or so, are they're any stations still using the golden oldies like MII or 3/4"? How about Hi-8 or SVHS? Just curious.

    Quick yes or no question

    Is it possible to fit a 2/3" lens with a B4 mount (like on pretty much all Sony cams) to one of those old-school Ikegami mounts (like on an HL-55)?. Thanks in advance.

    Ikegami HL-55 help

    I just bought an Ikegami HL-55 which was docked to an MII deck. I had a VA-95 adapter and a BVV-5 deck to put on it so I could adapt it to Betacam-SP. Problem is, I don't know how to switch the Ikegami 55 from MII component levels to Beta-SP levels. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    If B-roll.net were here 20 years ago...

    Someone posted this about TVspy.com, so I thought it'd be fun to do here. Just what would be some of the topics of discussion had b-roll been here 20 years ago: - I heard they're fazing out 3 man crews in L.A. They're only going to have a shooter and reporter. Who's going to do the sound? -...
