19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The system features tuner diversity rather than antenna diversity only.
  • Frame delay is below 3 frames.
  • A handheld or rack-mounted receiver can switch between up to 4 cameras in less than 0.5 seconds using button controls.
  • Sixteen channels can be preset and tuned individually from 2.3 to 2.5 GHz in 500 kHz increments to avoid interference with wireless LAN networks.
  • Transmitter power is adjustable from 80 milliwatts up to 1 to 2 watts.
  • A 1-watt transmission module achieved reliable image transmission over 2.5 kilometers in testing.
  • The system was designed with modular construction intended for steadicam use in broadcast and film production.
  • A one-button rotary encoder controls basic operation without requiring manual consultation.

Depends on

  • Discussion occurred in 2007 about a system in early development stages.
  • The fixed preset version was designed to comply with European regulations.
  • Performance claims are based on initial testing with one completed prototype system.
  • No information provided about final pricing beyond an early estimate of approximately 2500 euros plus shipping for one transmitter and receiver unit with case.
