= Epiphan Broadcaster


We have three VGA Broadcaster light (old generation, no longer available) and two [[https://www.epiphan.com/products/vgadvi-broadcaster/| VGADVI Broadcaster]] from Epiphan. Despite their names both can handle DVI and VGA. 
*  Dimensions 202×105×35 mm


/*
If think about buying them yourself: In my option they are actually too expensive, for what we use them. At least for the VGA Broadcaster light (old generation) using 1920x1080 as output resolution comes with the cost of high latency – the slide source about so 3-10 seconds behind the video from the camera. Current workaround to get slides in sync in Full HD: Use the [[Pavo M5]] as HDMI converter to 24p and use the second [[Decklink]] Mini Recorder as slide signal input.   --- //[[andi@muc.ccc.de|Andi]] 2016/11/10 23:13//
