Helping a friend who just got hired to run a community college RTV program sort through what appears to be decades of gear that was stored (and should have been phased out and dispersed of by prior instructors - but that's another story). It's all mixed in with newer and more current stuff.
I can handle checking out and assessing the cameras and most of the field equipment...but some of the studio goodies not as expert at.
The big one is a giant studio control setup housed in a gigantic metal mother-of-all units. Maybe six deep by twelve long by eight high. Recommending the school keep the Shure LX4 wireless kits (we still need to find the transmitters), JVC audio mixer and a few other goodies. The damn thing takes up half a room that could be put to better use...have suggested if the budget will take it to get a Tricaster but need to find out if the old rack-mounted Marshall 3x and Sony 4x monitors will work with it (pretty sure they might even though they're SD).
But what about the Echolab Optima 500 video switcher for example...will it play nice with today's high def gear. There's an old fashioned waveform vector monitor and scope. Three Sony CCUs and power adapters (can only find one of the cameras). And more.
I can post a more complete list if anyone is interested in discussing. Especially you Necktie Boy since we've already talked this over a bit...but I figure the more the merrier.
And thanks in advance.
