Wasn’t try to slag HoW at all[*]! Just a lot of cheap broadcast PTZs are built with more price sensitive customers in mind, who often come from legislative, corporate or house of worship. You can absolutely find high-end sophisticated productions in all those fields, but the field also has much more of a low-end (both in terms of cost and in terms of production complexity) than you’ll normally find in most more traditional broadcast verticals.
* I actual have a love for HoW as a vertical because they’re much more willing to try wild or experimental things with their production since they often have a greater tolerance for things going wrong and often have entire days of downtime between shows to tinker. This is probably part of why they’re a Sony flagship - willingness to run beta software! I know of at least one other vendor who has churches as beta testing sites…
