Panasonic wj-mx30 Video Mixer

I'm selling my Panasonic wj-mx30 video mixer for $750US.

I've tried the Sima SFX-M, AVE-5, AVE-55, MX20, and MX-12. But the MX30 is my favorite video mixer. I hate to sell it but I haven't used it much. I've only taken it to one gig.

It hasn't been used much by the previous owner either. It's in great condition and fully working. It's NTSC. Includes photocopy of manual, attached power cord, and 4 bnc to composite/rca adapters.

Here's the details:

Panasonic redefines affordable special effects with the WJ-MX30 Digital AV Mixer permitting two-channel digital field synchronization that allows special effects in each of the WJ-MX30's A/B program busses. Three sources plus Matte generator can be switched, and, any two of them routed to the program busses. The A/B program busses can be monitored at the A/B program outputs while the mixed picture is monitored at the Preview Output. The master recording output can be selected at the EFFECT switch in the PROGRAM OUT section. There is an external remote control input for RS-232C serial control. Also, a GPI input is featured. This means the WJ-MX30 is compatible with a wide variety of video editing devices for complementary video editing systems.
