I have been looking into software to take care of this problem and it is amazing what they offer and as I am learning and finding out most of the hardware that is so expensive is being phased out because the software is cheaper and not as hard to use. I have run into a gentleman who's whole family does this sort of thing and is pretty up on new tech so I am hoping that they can give me a hand. Thanks alot for the response and I will keep learning as I go. One way or the other I will be up and running soon only becasue of people who have more know how than I do, for instance people like yourself. Thanks again RD PS The Show will be titled "Nashville Side Streets" so keep and eye out for it...................

If you change your "spec" a little.

And allow for the usual AVCHD streams then it moves out of the stratosphere on costs. Still pricey but that no-compression part blew up the costs to enormous numbers.

Good luck on your show.

Here's where you may have gone off the charts.

Let's look at the data rate of 1080p. That's 1080x1920x60 by at least 3 to get the bytes per second generated. Since you SPECIFIED no compression the link needs to carry 373 248 000 BYTES per second. We multiply this by 8 to see what the bit rate is.

I get 3 gigabits per second of data. Since most links and gear can't carry that data rate you can see where your specification has pushed this into custom solutions with 6 to 8 figures of cash would have to be thrown at it.

And we are talking about 1 camera. You want 3 times that!
