Reliability of IDX Camwave wireless video transmitter for live concert broadcasts
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- IDX Camwave produces inconsistent results depending on the specific circumstances and is not designed for dependable live broadcast applications
- Boxx Meridian is presented as a more expensive but significantly more reliable alternative with superior signal quality for live work
- Six IDX Camwave units in use perform adequately in some scenarios but a more robust system like Boxx is recommended when budget permits for live productions
Depends on
- Discussion is from 2011 and equipment may have been updated since then
- No specific technical specifications or failure modes are detailed
- Budget constraint mentioned is under $300 per day but actual costs of alternatives are not quantified
- Limited sample size of real-world experience shared in thread
