Gear Upgrade Proposal
Strategic equipment upgrades for Audio, Video, and Live Streaming systems to enhance reliability and workflow.
Wireless IEM System $918.00
Camera Protection $100.00
SDI port repairs often require a mainboard replacement costing $500 - $750. Prevention is key.
Broadcast Mixing Controller
Option A: Premium Choice
The Avid S1 is built by the same company that makes Pro Tools, our mixing software. This means deep integration, reliable fader calibration, and a longer lifespan than third-party controllers. Requires iPads for visual channel feedback.
Option B: Value Selection
Replace the current X-Touch with new units. This is a direct replacement of what we have now: same workflow, same familiarity for volunteers, at a significantly lower cost.
Broadcast Audio Computer Upgrade
M4 Pro
Recommended if using Avid S1 controllers. The Pro chip provides headroom for 64+ audio channels with plugins and future-proofs the streaming workflow.
M4 Standard
Suitable for the Behringer X-Touch workflow. Handles current streaming needs at a lower cost, with option to upgrade later if needed.
Wireless Camera Rig Selection
Recommended Monitor: Atomos Shinobi 7" RX
Touch-to-Focus Accuracy: Allows operators to shift focus points instantly by
tapping the screen, essential for volunteers.
Camera Control: Connects via USB-C to adjust iris and white balance directly
from the screen.
Budget Alternative: Viltrox 6" Monitor
A basic touchscreen monitor for focus checks. Lacks the extreme brightness and deep camera integration of the Atomos, but provides a larger view than the camera's built-in screen.
