That's a cracking bit of trivia Charles. Thanks for the original video. It all makes scene now........

Steadicam operator Dom Jackson and RF Technician Gary Sims used one Boxx Meridian system to pull off this amazing live shot at BBC TVC. (Starts 30sec in)

sorry, not sure if that link worked.

Hi Everyone, Thought you might find this interesting..... We are renting the Meridian which is being used with the Sony HDC-P1 and our return video to a lot of live shows in the UK. Because of the zero delay, and as its much lighter then the Sony 1500 its becoming very popular. Directors love it as you can pull off shots like this with no lip sync problems. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IBzkD0W44Sk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The Voice - BBC. 2min continuous Steadicam shot.

Thanks for the report Robert. It makes all the hard work and loss of hair worth while. We have a new 5way antenna just released which you can see here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfJ--fDBEMg

Sorry about that, I had to take it down as the producers had a problem with it because you could see a list of characters which was confidential. I'm blurring the shot and will post tomorrow.

Just thought you might find these videos interesting Meridian is fast coming the standard for studio live in the UK because of the zero delay , so no lip sync problem.

I can offer 4-5 frames, but the cost would be around $10,000USD. Would operators be prepared to pay that that type of amount? To date, I believe the cheapest system of the market at 4 frames is around $30,000.

I agree these are all very valid points. There are many systems on the market that have less then 4 frame delay. If you are willing to pay $150,000 you can get below 1 frame now. This all said, ?Gray?s Anatomy? have beed using 2 of our systems for over 6 months now. They also had reservation at first but now would never go back to analogue. It's a good point that this will not ?replace? your current system but be another tool to better show off your work.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I really appreciate it and keep it coming (good or bad). We want ideas on what you guys need and want in a system and I will do my best to incorporate it. Hope to see you all at NAB! Scott Walker scott@boxx.tv +44 7798526766
