Wireless video transmission system with low latency and wall penetration capability
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A wireless video transmitter and receiver system delivers stable digital video with minimal picture degradation through walls and multiple floors.
- The system introduces approximately 8 to 10 frames of delay between transmission and reception, equivalent to roughly half a second.
- Audio and video synchronization is maintained internally by the receiver, so audio delay compensation may not be necessary when routing audio separately.
- The transmitted signal uses frequency hopping across multiple IP addresses to optimize transmission path selection.
- Factory-matched transmitter and receiver pairs eliminate interference issues.
- Multiple receiving stations can be supported by adding additional RF transmitters connected to a single receiver.
- Customer support includes technical troubleshooting and potential hardware replacement.
Depends on
- The frame delay caused operational challenges in video village environments on film productions, with participants reporting delays felt longer than the specified 8 to 10 frames.
- Audio routing configuration depends on how the audio signal path is integrated into the production workflow and may not suit all setups.
- One user reported using a similar system for two seasons on a television production, suggesting the technology was not new as of 2006.
- Information about pricing, exact specifications, frequency details, size, and weight was requested but not provided in the thread.
- A proposed firmware upgrade for HD-SDI capability was mentioned as future possibility but never confirmed as implemented.
