What cost are you willing to pay for such wireless video transitters?


Recommended Posts

Compared with wireless video transmission in professional areas, customers usually have more choices in consumable electronics area. Different products are based on different solutions: WHDI, WIFI , WIHD etc.

WHDI is no latency while is the most costly.

WIHD is still having a long way to go for wide applications.

WIFI technology is with great promise as almost all smart devices are supporting this standard. It is currently moving to 5Ghz standards for applications.

Here is my question, if for WIFI solution, 1080/60Hz, >50M transmission for consumable applications which can replace the current most popular solution, what cost are you willing to pay?

I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I'm just saying that if a wireless device does not meet these requirements, I'm not willing to look into it for my next system. Wifi bands tend to get saturated by consumer devices so it is not an ideal solution four our needs. Wifi also usually implies a Codec involved usually H.264 which means two things. Delay and compression. I'm sure there is a market for these, but I'm not part of it.

This is new model for consumable electronics. Let me share with you professional model with SDI. For professional area, the requirement is surely different.

Jeffery, we are a forum of Professional Steadicam operators that use professional gear. Think you're barking up the wrong tree here. This isn't meant to be snobby, but our livelihood depends, in part, on our tools and we work in a very demanding field. If it does not work, neither do we. Nuff said.

 

Oh, wait… there is more. I moved this thread to the "Video Assist and Video Accessories" area cause that's where we discuss this stuff. Next time, please just take a moment and think about where your thread should go before you post in "General Discussion."

 

Thank you.

 

EDIT: Just saw your other thread on video transmitters (also in General Discussion) and deleted it. Redundant. I, too, think you're advertising something, but I'll let this thread continue for the moment since we have responses from known members.

Thanks for clarifying that. Please understand I am kind of new here. Your advice is taken. There is no denying for everyone to play by rules. Sorry if any inconvenience caused.

That is impressive....

 

Lets have someone package that with a transmitter/receiver pair.

 

For awhile I was playing around with a consumer HDMI transmitter that encoded to H2.64. It was only about 20ms delay. Pretty transparent actually. I think it is doable, the big thing is it either has to be cheaper or farther (or both) than current zero latency transmission systems to make it a viable product (in my mind). That is assuming proper design to be used on set.

I met with one of their sales reps. He had a device that tested latency. Their encoder tested at about 12 milliseconds (not quite at the 8 milliseconds that they advertise, but damn, 12 milliseconds is great!).

 

We also tested an Arrow and a Tomahawk for comparison; they came in at 750 and 850 MICRO seconds, respectively.

Paralinx applies WHDI from Amimon, so it is less than 1ms latency. If they can work for 12ms, this is a great thing.
