Premium Members Vladimir Peeters SOA Posted December 22, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) selling a GREAT video wireless system, designed in 1999 called "Diversity 2000" This has sold by hundreds between 2000 and 2010 while SD film cameras were extensively used. I was selling myself more than 75 units all over the world and have been renting my 10 kits extensively on major french movies. The idea behind this great "tailor made" system was this: GET RID of this 2.4GHz band which was constantly disturbed by wireless focus systems, other transmitters and the WiFi network. We all faced those DENZ or TITAN or other systems using 2.4GHz and ruining our shots, or sometimes driving directors or DOP's MAD because they had too much interferences, or no pictures at all ... It was designed from scratch, using the DIVERSITY technology on the receiver (two receivers in one, switching to best signal, 2 antennas, all this i REAL time with no delay at all). Receiver being powered 12-13,2v by a small battery for long hours ! The transmitter had to be very reduced in size, not bigger than a matchbox, and be powered from 9v to 30v, using multiple frequencies (10) being separated enough to give great coverage range. The band used was 1.150 GHz to 1.650 GHz; those were "free" ... well mostly ... but the power output was (and is still) limited to 100mW. iI was NTSC/PAL compatible I never had ANY TROUBLES WITH AUTHORITIES ... EVEN IN VERY SENSITIVE AREAS: NY CITY, ISRAEL, PARIS, AIRPORT, MILITARY BASES, HOSPITALS... We just had - as a safety measure - to communicate with authorities and ask them if we could use any of the (10) available frequencies on set. Those were normally restricted to use and not public, but if authorities did not want to be disturbed they would scramble their own so there would be no picture but just a black screen showing up on our receiver, so did we know it was not allowed to use that frequency ! I have been using it under the Eiffel Tower in Paris (very sensitive area, where all the Parisian Tx are located up there, including the Army and the Police), and also even on a strategic NATO airbase in Southern France for weeks. SELLING like 6 kits total, because I am retiring from sets and rentals, each one holding those: * transmitter + antenna + spare antenna + (2) power cables to various cameras (please tell us which one you prefer) (we have choice between ARRI RS-3, Arri Fischer-11, Arri mini monitor, Moviecam Fischer-2 and Fischer-3 , Panavision 12v, Panavision 24v, Aaton Lemo-6, Aaton Lemo-8, Aaton Jaeger plug, D/tap, Hirose-4, XLR-4 ... * receiver Diversity + 2 antennas + 2 (50 ohms) cables (+2 spares) * Power supply 110-220c AC for receiver * Portabrace suspension pouch w/belt (model AR-D5)(see picture) (this pouch holds the receiver, and external pouches are holding Tx + cables + Rx mains power unit for transportation) * Pelicase model #1500 see pictures attached equipment is NEAT and still FUNCTIONAL it has been used again from time to time on french pictures, and even last year, as film strikes back, and using this kit there is NO NEED to use a very expensive Teradek (or equivalent) and UP convert the SD signal to HDSI for no better results ! interested ? ---- >>> Please inquire sending PM to: realtoreel@skynet.be (Philippe Piron) REFERENCES HF 062012.pdf Edited December 22, 2020 by Vladimir Peeters SOA ADDING FILES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
