During the late 1980’s Corporate Video budgets were estimated at £1000 per minute when the total cost of staff, cameras, and post production were taken into account. Considering that an Avid editing suite would have cost over £120,000 and the cameras required would be a similar amount this comes as no surprise.

Ben arranged a demo of the Clear-Com Freespeak II system at Sheeran’s Manchester concert and then subsequently delivered and assisted with the setup of the final configuration at the Newcastle show.

We Tested their Presto 10GbE 10GBaset-T card (G10E-2X-E3), I’ve had to install quite few NIC’s over the years so know they aren’t always as straight forward as they should be and can sometimes be trial and error to get the right driver version and installed in the right order, fortunately this was a straight forward install
