1 Audio and 2 Video?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi all,

I have 2 sony video cameras of the same model (DCR-TRV22E) and would like to
connect them both to the same microphone. The camera obviously has a mic
input but I dont know what equipment i would need to do this. Id like to buy
a good qulity mic that cuts out the wind that connects to both cameras
running at the same time at different angles. If anyone could give me advice
in what i need to buy that would be great.

Thanks
Andy

Thanks for the reply. If you could point me towards a link to any kind of
mixer i could use, that would be great. I realy have no idea what to do a
search on. Thanks

Mostly running on mains power but every now and then on batteries.

You may have your reasons to feed the same sound source to both cameras, but
I would just plug the mike to one of them and use it as the master in
post-processing. Makes life simpler.
