If anyone has already built a similar rig, I'm looking for a good Shallow Rack and Mounting Hardware for the GPI/Tally Interface. We were also planning on mounting a couple of HDMI-to-SDI converters to live in the rack permanently. If anyone has suggestions on anything else I'm forgetting to add, I'm all ears.",
