Ooooh, those are nice. I didn't know you used them Chris, thanks for sharing!
They are unfortunately and justifiably very expensive... thought of getting them at some point but ultimately gave up and am trying to look for an alternative. But man, they do ease up workflow quite a lot. Thing is, professional alternatives can get way more expensive than that... like a Tricaster, or some other professional switcher board with everything integrated. The usability of those goes more towards livecasting and whatnot, but I follow some non-live channels that makes use of them just for the streamlined workflow.
Good for people to know though, it's not that you absolutely need external recorders like those, it's just that they really help, specially in speeding up workflows.
I have a reversed professional history than that of Chris... I first graduated in computers, and then around 10 years later I also graduated in journalism. My dad also worked with computers, but at the same time he had a hobby level photo lab at home (converted restroom), both of which I guess influenced me. :P
But I don't have anywhere near the professional curriculum that Chris have, just lots of curiosity. xD
Anyways, great stuff!
