What the thread found

• Multiple companies demonstrated WiFi-based wireless video transmission systems around 2005, including The Boxx, IDX WEVI, and others, as alternatives to traditional analog wireless systems.
• The Boxx system supported up to 6 cameras with multiple receivers on the same set and could stream video to web-based viewers worldwide.
• The Boxx offered composite or component video output with 2 audio channels, with component video being beneficial for high-definition cameras and large monitor displays.
• Initial Boxx systems exhibited approximately 0.5 second video delay, though a newer system with 4 frame delay was in development.
• The Boxx system could use multiple receivers that functioned like a cellular network, allowing cameras to switch between receivers as they moved between coverage areas.
• Audio delay compensation was available through external delay units to synchronize sound with delayed video transmission.
• Transmitter and receiver units for The Boxx each cost approximately 1800 dollars, with high-gain receivers at 2700 dollars.
• IDX WEVI system featured a V-mount design to mount between camera and battery, priced around 1800 pounds for a transmitter and receiver set.

Depends on

• The discussion is from 2005 and reflects early WiFi video technology capabilities and pricing.
• Limited information provided on The Boxx system range and network requirements.
• The IDX WEVI product information was incomplete at the time of the forum discussion.
• Specific performance comparisons between analog and digital systems were not thoroughly documented in the thread.
