IDX Performances et capacités de l'émetteur HD-SDI sans fil CW-3
Ce que le fil a révélé
- Le CW-3 se compose d'un émetteur avec entrée/sortie HD-SDI et deux connecteurs d'antenne RP-SMA, jumelés à un récepteur avec sortie HD-SDI uniquement.
- Une mise à jour du firmware a réduit le temps de liaison initiale de 60 secondes à moins de 10 secondes après avoir alimenté l'émetteur.
- L'unité fonctionne à 5GHz et comprend deux antennes courbées de 90 degrés, avec des connecteurs RP-SMA permettant une fixation externe de l'antenne.
- Both transmitter and receiver feature indicator lights for link status and video presence, plus 1/4-20 screw holes for mounting on support arms.
- The equipment generates moderate heat which can degrade velcro adhesive mounting over time.
- Firmware updates are available via Windows PC using a Mini USB connection.
- The CW-3 operates as a point-to-point one-to-one system and does not support multicast transmission to multiple receivers.
- Progressive segmented Frame format video signals remain problematic for the unit, though the manufacturer was working on resolution at the time of review.
- Sony cameras transmitting 59.94p at 1080i in non-PsF format are compatible with the unit.
Dépend de
- Review and testing based on 2014-2015 timeframe with firmware updates available at that time.
- Price information and product availability cited from that period may no longer be current.
- User experience focused on single 1:1 transmission setup without testing multicast scenarios.
- PsF compatibility issue status at time of publication was unresolved pending manufacturer updates.
- Only external antenna testing mentioned included 5GHz options; other frequency bands not explored in review.
