    Coles Microphones 4104B Lip Microphone

    We just bought a Coles lip microphone, and we can't get levels out of it. Before I look (more) stupid and send back a working mic, is there something I'm missing about the mic? I've tried mic and line level. I've tried phantom power. I've tried it with two different devices, one being a...

    video patch panel cables

    Guys, As we're setting up our new studio and control room on campus, we're using the old video patch panels. A question has come up that I don't really know the answer to. Are the cables used in the patch panels specific to the manufacturer of the panel? The reason I ask this is because I...

    memory card readers

    The college is moving from tape to tapeless, and we're going to now acquire on SDHC cards. My question is, is there a difference in the memory card readers that you can buy at, say, Best Buy, and what we will need to read a 32g card with video on it. Thanks.

    digital video storage

    I'm wondering if you guys can point me toward a system to digitally store old video. The college has a bunch of 3/4 and BetaSP tapes that we're going to convert to DVD for storage. I'm wondering if there is a way to store this video digitally. Thanks.

    downloading video

    I need help finding software that will help me download video from a website. An instructor is planning a conference here on campus and wants to show this video in the lobby in a continuous loop. I don't really want to hook up a computer and replay the video every ten minutes (the running...

    Another FCP question

    I'm trying to lock multiple video tracks together (to find an easy way to have motion follow on many tracks) instead of putting in keyframe numbers to match the motion. There has to be a way to do this. Anyone know?

    Basic FCP question

    I'm relatively new to Final Cut Pro, and I have a question... In the Viewer, there is a green circle with a check mark in it. How do I make that go away? It bugs the crap outta me. Thanks

    padding for mic cases

    I have a question I'm sure someone here can answer for me. I now work for a community college, and we're buying new wireless mics. When they arrive, they're just in cardboard boxes. We're using cases from the document cameras we're installing as cases for the wireless sets, but we don't have...

    I've had enough

    I got a new job. And it’s not in tv news. I’ve been working in tv news since October 17, 1988. I’ve often asked myself if I’d still be standing in the rain, snow, sun, whatever, until retirement. And the only answer I could come up with was…yeah, probably. This business doesn’t...

    Question for Norfolk/VA Beach people

    I just spent a week down in Virginia Beach, and loved it...well, except for the traffic. While driving down I-64, I saw that the on- and off-ramps had barricades in place for traffic moving in both directions. What are the barricades for? My guess is that the barricades are used during...
