ouch, goes to show nothing is bug free
i agree with kit that you gotta have a well built, powerful computer if your gonna use a program like VT4. we had a PC that exceeded the minimum requirements but you should really, really exceed it. you can't overkill on insurance for live events as long as you can afford it. but if you can afford it, may as well go for the switching hardware. spending alot on a PC thats only gonna be used for one thing kind of defeats the purpose of going the PC route. but hey sometimes your budget dictates your choice. |

I see where you're coming from, Mark, and I think that your view seems to be the general consensus out there. But just remember that your "switcher" is really a computer too. It can and will freeze at times when abused or mis-used, just like anything. It's just another one of those things that come down to preference. |

you have a point... you can't compare a 24 input switcher with VT4. i wasnt really thinking about that level of capability. if you are dealing with that many inputs, VT4 is the way to go for small businesses but yeah $8000 sounds about right. i havent seen how it performs with that many inputs but i would hope it doesnt make a difference. but if you are only dealing with say 4 cameras, you have more options if youre on a budget.
