20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A Transvideo Hermes receiver accepts 4-pin XLR power input and operates from 8 to 28 volts, with internal battery backup using AA cells
- The Transvideo Hermes includes an antenna but users may substitute alternatives such as a shark fin antenna
- Channel adjustment on the Transvideo Hermes requires a small screwdriver to operate two potentiometers, which prevents accidental frequency changes but requires a tool for intentional adjustments
- The Transvideo Hermes is compact and durable enough for field use
- Consumer electronics receivers from retail stores may not meet professional broadcast quality standards for wireless video monitoring
Depends on
- Pricing information is from 2006 and no longer current
- Only one professional receiver model was discussed in detail
- No evaluation of consumer-grade receiver performance was completed in the thread
- The transmitter model mentioned was an older design
