is it possible to power the unit without the battery attached to it

Tony from IDX brought the latest 24p-capable version of the Camwave to my current show but alas, it turns out that the Genesis monitor output is 1080/24psf (progressive segmented frame) which is a different protocol than they had tested their unit with, so they are working on that now. I'm keeping in close touch with Tony so I will pass on info as I get it.

SD at 23.9 1080works

HD SDI at 23.9 1080 does not work as of Aug 2008

recovery after distance loss purely electronic is prob 10 sec... it takes more seconds to walk the Rx back into range

tested with complex dynamic test signal and engineering monitor and the pix "looked" totally uncompressed or bit reduced - amazing

works well with handheld SD monitor walking around

cost list $ 6000.00 several available now

comes with "V" mount

license free therefore only 50 yard range outside - we got double that on a chickenwire stage. 4 receivers are said to be possible. price???

there is a demo in Glendale on Wed in LA at TV PRo gear - they sell them too

According to the IDX rep it may be until next year before a 24psf compatible model emerges, no word on whether current units will be upgradeable.

 

This is certainly a shame but it does give Boxx some time to get their unit going as well, which has the added convenience of accommodating composite SD video (and a more compact transmitter, although the antennas are external and generously sized).

 

Looks like 2008 is not going to be the year for affordable wireless HD transmission for narrative work, but 2009 looks promising.
