We got a Edirol V8 a few weeks ago and we’re super happy with it. I was happy to see it’s more complex than I expected (my only other video mixer is a much simpler Panasonic WJ-AVE5). All those separate monitor outputs (and having a second mixer) allow you to get very creative with the signal routing (which for me is a huge part of the game).
The TBC is not great compared to the WJ-AVE5. Without the WJ-AVE5, using my BPMC Premium Cable and Syntonie AVE MOD v2 would have probably become frustrating. Maybe I need to tweak again the “Sync Threshold” settings.
It has on-screen menus so a dedicated monitor is helpful. Some effects are a no-no for us, but we like other ones. It’s definitely built for performance, all faders and buttons feel solid and responsive and allow for very quickly actions.
We think we found a bug - you can set custom size for your VGA inputs, but sometimes they get reset to default values. They they get back to your custom values as soon as you change the values of 2-3 pixels
