Using the Af100 for live multicam shoot?

[Spolley777]

Is it possible to use the Af100's SDI Output and Use Genlock / Blackburst? Would I need an adapter to use the Genlock capabilites? Like a Kramer Convertor Box of some sort? http://www.kramerelectronics.com/products/model.asp?pid=25

We have used 2 AF-100s with a HPX-170 and an HPX-500 with the Panasonic MX-100 switcher with no problems.

If your switcher has a frame sync you will be fine.

Have been doing a lot of corporate/imag switching gigs with 2 AF-102s and 2 Sony PMW-350s with an Pana AW-HS50 switcher with no issue. Most of the new HD switchers have frame sync built in - having gen locked cameras might be preferable but it is certainly not essential.
