Émetteur vidéo sans fil Switronix Recon qui connaît des abandons spécifiques avec des caméras RED
Il y a 13 ans. Le matériel et les prix ont peut-être changé depuis.

Ce que le fil a révélé
- Le système sans fil Switronix Recon a fonctionné de façon fiable à 75-100 pieds de gamme avec des caméras Alexa, mais a connu des abandons fréquents sur les caméras RED EPIC et RED One à travers plusieurs emplois.
- RED EPIC produit un format progressif vrai 1080p plutôt qu'un cadre segmenté progressif, que certains équipements vidéo sans fil peuvent ne pas gérer correctement.
- The Recon receiver accepts specific formats including 1080p 23.98psf, 24p, 25p, 25psf, 29.97p and 720p options, but alternative framerates like 720p 60p and 1080p 29.97p did not fully resolve dropout issues.
- HD-SDI cabling from camera to transmitter routed through camera rig sled internal connections can affect signal quality.
- Placing the transmitter too close to the receiver, such as within 15-20 feet, can cause signal breakup and dropout issues.
- A potential hardware defect in the transmitter logic board specific to RED signal processing rather than Alexa signal processing may be the cause.
- Using a crappy Samsung monitor or inadequate monitoring equipment in the video chain may contribute to perceived dropout problems.
Dépend de
- The original poster did not definitively identify the root cause before sending the unit for service.
- No controlled comparison was performed between a functioning unit and the suspect unit to confirm hardware defect theory.
- Environmental factors like Faraday cage metal structures around set locations were not fully investigated as potential interference sources.
- The specific sled model, battery configuration, and exact cable routing varied between successful Alexa jobs and problematic RED jobs.
- Participants disagreed on whether the issue was format-related, hardware-related, or environmental.
