The pre Cat is the only one. It's work in progress, so it can change. We're looking at a lot of possibilities. The idea is to use just 1 switcher: 10 in (using only 7), 2 out. The 2 outputs would give us the possibility to crossfade between 2 choosen camera's or to have a split screen. These would be on LFG4 input 1 and 2. On 3 and 4 there will be camera's for the 2 singers. Does this makes sense?

Do we need boosters if all BNC distances, before the switcher/LFG, are between 10- 20m? We will be filming scale models but very nearby there will also be running power cables to the theatre dimmers.

What about 2 LFG4's in a macpro 1.1? I will test if I have the change.
