I am trying to set up for a client a low cost but high performance system that will record local celebrity chefs cooking in showroom in while streaming live to a website.

We are planning on getting a Sony HD PTZ camera (EVIHD7v) or other and need to record HD Component onto a digital medium (hard drive on a Mac Pro?) while streaming live to a website. The camera will be 20 feet off the ground mounted on a pole. From the camera pole to the head end I have wired it with approx 60-80 feet runs of RG6, RG59, multiple cat5e & RGBHV mini solid coax. If I needed to I could do HDMI over cat5.

The Camera(s) will feed HD component video + left & right audio + coax digital) into a Key Digital KDMSW8X4 matrix switch. We will take the Camera(s) component + L+R audio into one of the 8 sets of inputs on the switch. Two of the four outputs of the switch will feed the recording device/streaming device. The other 2 outputs will feed to 54" plasmas that will function as monitors for the audience.

One person has suggested Mac Pro/ Black Magic Intensive card/ and using 1 component input to record HD and use the other component input (the component output that can be switched to a component input via software) to stream to the website. I have been told by another person that I SHOULD NOT use 1 Mac Pro to do both record and streaming.... they recommended adding a DataVideo DV/HDV Recorder (DADn400/DN400) and stream via the Mac Pro using Telestream Wirecast/Episode Pro f/mac with Flash/ Reg...

Any suggestions? I really need to keep the cost's as low as possible. If you have any suggestions for sourcing the gear at great prices I would be interested in that as well.
I would like to set up a wholesale account with a vendor if possible for this is for resale. Thank you very much for your ideas and suggestions.

Kind of a clunky setup, but it was my only option given my budget.

This has worked really well in my test runs that aren't at live shows (walking around the house/outside), but it keeps failing me when I'm at a show. I'll get about 5 minutes captured before I'm hit with either a "lost connection to device" error (even though everything is plugged in securely) or just an "unknown error" . I've recorded at least 45 minutes continuously during my test runs, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the netbook powering down because the lid is closed or anything like that. I also haven't had any frame drops during my extended test runs.

The only thing I can think of is that the vibrations from the sound system/PA at a show are causing the drive heads to skip or something. Could it be something else? Are there any easy solutions? I suppose upgrading to SSD would be feasible, but those are still pretty expensive the last time I checked. I'm considering wrapping the netbook in soundproofing foam, but that seems a little over the top!
