When you watch SNL and immediately go…

Hey that's a Panasonic MX50 in the back! I mean, that's the first thought that jumped in the mind of all viewers, right? Right…?

Spent my formative years on that little fella, which back then was a crown jewel of our studio.

Only on 2nd viewing did I notice the switcher up front. A 2 M/E composite GVG? For-A? Looks familiar but back in the day I didn't get to play with such cool toys. And of course ya always grab a video switcher when you need lots of buttons (looking at you, Lucas) — so to me personally seeing the MX50 there was more amusing.

Got a marketing email from Lilliput, for new 12G-SDI/HDMI/SFP converters. To show these are professional trustworthy products, they provided this on-set example to show how they understand your workflows, and how they work with the gear you use every day:

These may be my new favorite cameras. 35mm with 200ft mags, and a 12G-SDI video tap? ;-)

It's a treasure trove overall, like the power run(s) to the light, "P D M" (gearbox?) on the fluid head, or how the frame on the Lilliput monitor isn't even the same. (Oh I'm sure it's just latency.) Clearly not AI.

I tried to extract it in full rez from the PDF, for your enjoyment.
