THE INCREASING RELEVANCE OF RF & IP
RF and the Virtual Video Village
We’ve been using RF (Radio Frequency) for some time for camera control and remote picture review in real time, for example for drone shooting. There are many applications for RF picture review including jibs, cranes, vehicle mounts, wire mounts and other remote camera positions.
In the last few years, RF technology has
evolved considerably and Teradek has become synonymous with on-set RF. Teradek’s Bolt 4K has a range of up to 1,500 metres from the camera and works seamlessly with the Sony VENICE delivering 4K DCI HDR images to up to six receivers (monitors and operating stations) with no detectable latency. (The new Bolt 4K Max can transmit to an unlimited number of receivers.) The resolution and colour gamut of the images on the monitor is an impressive 4K DCI, 10 bit 422 at up to 60 frames per second and with sufficient dynamic range to review as HDR10, HLG or PQ.
Teradek have taken their on-set RF model
one step further to facilitate what they call a ‘Virtual Video Village’. Teradek have taken their on-set RF model one step further to facilitate what they call a ‘Virtual Video Village’.
With a consistent
minimum 10 Mbps internet connectivity, the 10bit signal is compressed to H.265 (HEVC) and sent up to the cloud from a single modem or bonded (that is using multiple internet connections) configuration that with Teradek’s dedicated cloud-based management system can be passed securely through the internet for truly remote review. This is a protocol familiar to outside broadcast and news providers, and was an ever-increasing requirement for scripted production with or without COVID-19.
Complementary to Teradek’s socially TERADEK’S BOLT 4K HAS A RANGE OF UP TO 1,500 METRES
FROM THE CAMERA AND WORKS SEAMLESSLY WITH THE SONY VENICE DELIVERING 4K DCI HDR
IMAGES TO UP TO SIX RECEIVERS WITH NO DETECTABLE LATENCY
distanced ecology is the new Serv Pro; a hardware streaming device that connects to cameras over local networks, including an advanced WiFi option (which with Teradek Link has a 300 meter range), and allows up to 10 iPhones and iPads to monitor a video feed in HD with stereo audio with a two-frame delay. Working with Teradek’s free iOS-based Vuer application, the same 10 users can add professional monitoring
tools including vectorscopes, false colour and focus peaking. Serv Pro can be used by other members of the production team like script supervisors, wardrobe and hair and make-up, all of whom can work at a safe distance from each other while keeping in touch with the day’s shoot.
