they have HD cameras but they need a HD mixer that cost $11K so switching to HD will take some time

Some HD would be nice.

Hey MiniMan, we worked out what was causing the muddyness, and the lack of contrast that appears in 401, and will appear in 402.

While we have HD cameras, as mentioned before, we don't have an HD mixer, however we're working toward that, and every bit helps. http://www.hak5.org/stickers/

I can't tell you how excited I am to be here on Rev3, on top of weekly episodes!

Thanks,
Matt

What the hell? Was this filmed on a laptop camera? I don't even think the audio was in sync...

We had an issue with a split that was cutting the bandwidth of the video signal worse than what we thought it was.

As mentioned above, we've corrected that issue in epsisode 403 and beyond.

The image quality isn't up to our standards, and we're working to do everything we can to make sure that we have the best image quality before actually going HD.

Thanks for the understanding,
Matt

You guys should put up some sort of bar graph to show the progress of donations towards the mixer. May encourage more people to donate.

Also, are you guys going to keep both forums running? I noticed the "trivia" thread wasn't on REV3.

[hak5matt]

The Trivia was correctly answered here on the Rev3 forums, not exactly sure why it's not visible to you, but I'll check on that.

Thanks Steve,
Matt

Why must the show be live mixed instead of edited like every other show?

[hak5matt]

All of the shows which are shot in the Rev3 Studios are live switched, shows like TRS, EpicFU, Diggnation, where there is only one camera are alot easier to edit, but when you have 3 different parts of a set like we do, it's not really possible to go through all of that tape if we were recording to 3 different tapes on 3 different cameras.
