The Anton Bauer HD transmitter achieved excellent range in outdoor testing with clear signal transmission over multiple city blocks, even through obstacles like trees.
A significant delay of approximately 0.3 seconds was observed with the Anton Bauer HD unit, making it unsuitable for focus pulling in multi-camera broadcast work where immediate feedback is required.
The Boxx wireless system reportedly exhibits minimal delay compared to alternatives, making it more suitable for real-time focus assist work.
The HPVideo system was reported to work reliably by some users, with cost around 9000 and good indoor performance.
The Camwave system showed poor outdoor performance with frequent dropouts but functioned adequately indoors in certain configurations.
An assistant monitoring a Camwave receiver on a stand positioned 20 feet away still experienced signal dropouts in an environment with metal structures and scaffolding.
Image quality from the Anton Bauer HD transmitter was judged as excellent for focus monitoring purposes by testers.
The Camwave 5 model was reported as unreliable by at least one user despite generally positive feedback about the product line from others.

The Anton Bauer test was conducted several months before the post date and may not reflect current models.
The receiver size for the Anton Bauer unit was expected to change after testing.
HPVideo system performance varied significantly between different units tested.
Camwave outdoor performance problems may have been influenced by the specific environment containing extensive metal structures.
The delay comparison data is anecdotal rather than formally measured.
Pricing information from 2012 may not reflect current costs.
