AVERAGE QUALITY = 12.75 (A-) (excludes Distance/Position)
PROS: Great close ups; three camera sources
CONS: Had to use the inferior video source 3 for missing parts, especially encores

DISTANCE/POSITION: 14 (extreme zoom on video source 2; steady shots on sources 1 & 3)

AUDIO: 13 (Used Bach LB-4358; another source, LB-3190 rated higher, but runs fast)

STEADINESS: 12 (sources 1 & 3 quite steady; source 2 somewhat shaky)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 12 (source 1 virtually unobstructed; source 2 shot more obstructed, hence the need for close-ups)

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT/RESOLUTION: 14 (sources 1 & 2 appear to be masters)

EDITING: Editor concentrated on video source 2 because D882 already has most of video source 1; stills added as needed where no good footage available
