So after pricing out quality HD switchers for our modest studio to work with our HMC150's we decided to go with the Panasonic AG-HS300G. But then, just a few short weeks later at NAB, Panasonic released the AG-MX100.
There are features of the MX100 that would be redundant for our setup (like built in audio mixing in addition to multiplex views of Preview/Program from one DVI cable). But the bennefit is we could save at least $1000 with this newer model.
I'm not a big fan of all-in-one systems like the MX100 becuase if one thing acts up, the whole piece is compromised. But not having a ton of money left makes one get a little... cautious. Any feedback on these switchers? I know the HS300G has been around for a little while now, and the MX100 hasn't even shipped yet. I'm still leaning on the HS300G since it has all we need, and has had some real world feedback already.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
