Today we had a P2 tech dem and a quick activity/quiz with a free drink at the RTS Awards at stake. I didn't win but it was fun! We use the P2's rather than the AVC's for multi cam as there's three of them and they are HD. For this particular project, we need to film in 30fps as that's what YouTube allow for live streaming. To get 30fps we need to put it in American mode (aka NTSC), which is found in option 9, then system frequency, and change it to 60hz. When we are finished, we need to put it back to PAL (English, 50hz) as students often forget to check the settings. We also want to put the video output as 720 to suit the vision mixer, and it also uses less bandwidth.
To connect it to the vision mixer, make sure the wire goes into component out, and also switch off the mic and phantom power on the camera. We then connect the wire to a mains adaptor (the battery charger, but don't charge batteries on it while it's being used as a mains adaptor as it doesn't work).
On option 6 of the menu, make sure SDI is on and meta is off, and that it's also on 1080i and not auto. If you want to show the battery on the video, you can do that on display, then put video out OSD, on.
We can also record as well as stream if we decide to edit it later.
