What the thread found
- Transmitters that are standard in your local market are preferable because video assist personnel can set up the receiver more easily and you gain compatibility with local rental infrastructure.
- Transvideo Titan SD transmitters are durable and widely used professional equipment suitable for standard definition video transmission.
- Transvideo Titan SD comes in two versions: a US version with metal housing and 4 channels, and an EU version with plastic-covered metal housing providing interference prevention and offering either 4 or 10 channels.
- A high-performance 9dB Titan antenna significantly improves the already strong range capability of Titan transmitters.
- Modulus wireless transmitters may be available used at lower cost but are considered unreliable by some users.
- Other wireless video options exist from manufacturers including Paralinx, Teradek Bolt, and Dynawave systems.
