Talkback Systems – Eartec Wireless – £60 pd / Canford Tecpro – £40 pd
Crew communication is very important, especially when not everyone can see tallys, so we have recently invested in some snazzy wireless headsets which integrate seamlessly with our Canford Tecpro wired system! Both systems together allow 10 people on comms at once, either one channel or another, or both together!
Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q 4K/HD Monitor Recorder – £80 pd
The Odyssey 7Q is ana incredible little machine. Not only is it a fantastic 7″ HD monitor with HD-SDI and HDMI inputs, with all the scopes & tools you ever want, but it also records in a variety of formats in HD and 4K!But wait, theres more! A recent update means the Odyssey can take a full 4K source and allow you to mix & record three HD streams from it – making a multicam production from just one camera! We have also used the Odyssey 7Q as a very capable playback unit, playing in HD and even 4K which it downconverts internally, live!
