The Arrow-X achieved reliable video transmission during location changes on a Disney commercial production without signal loss reported at video village.
Range testing showed the Arrow-X maintained signal when the standard Arrow lost connection, with the X continuing to transmit even after the operator walked out of sight of the village.
Connection establishment takes approximately 15 to 20 seconds when transmitter and receiver are in close proximity.
The Arrow-X does not require power cycling of both transmitter and receiver units when powering down the receiver while keeping the transmitter on.
The Arrow-X receiver accepts SDI input while the transmitter was initially HDMI-only, with an SDI transmitter version announced as forthcoming.
The receiver benefited from using an Array antenna in the test setup.
The system successfully maintained reliable operation in theme park environments across multiple productions.

Connection time performance at distances of 150 feet or greater was not tested by the original poster.
The range comparison was observational rather than measured in specific distances.
The SDI transmitter version was not yet available at the time of the discussion.
Reconnection speed after battery changes at distance was not definitively tested.
