Paralinx Triton wireless video transmitter specifications and comparison to competing systems
What the thread found
- The Triton system offers eight frequency channels across two bands instead of the four non-overlapping channels typical of comparable wireless video systems.
- Triton features sub-1 millisecond latency with HDMI input and output, designed for entry-level applications with DSLRs and action cameras.
- The Triton achieves a 450-500 foot line-of-sight transmission range with external antennas on the transmitter, with superior performance possible in optimal conditions.
- The Triton does not support PSF or timecode, which may be a cost-driven design decision in entry-level products.
- The Triton differs fundamentally from encoder-based systems like the Teradek Beam, which uses H.264 encoding and achieves longer range but with approximately two frames of latency.
- Whether the increased channel count and range are achieved through 20 MHz channel width instead of 40 MHz, increased transmission power, or other technical modifications remains unclear from available specifications.
Depends on
- Specifications come from 2015 product announcements and are unverified by independent testing.
- The thread does not clarify the exact technical means by which eight channels are accommodated or whether all eight can be used simultaneously.
- Comparison between Triton and other systems like Bolt or Arrow is speculative rather than based on direct testing.
- The underlying wireless technology used in Triton is not confirmed as Amimon-based despite initial speculation.
- Performance figures for range are stated as line-of-sight and may vary based on environmental conditions.
