Ltd. "Their success is our success, so we are committed to
providing them with the optimum solution for live broadcast events.
This new evolution of HEVC encoding technology permits 4K UHD
wireless video with a 70ms latency via our world leading RF
modulation, and opens the door to a new era of coverage in premium
live broadcast events. The Vislink HCAM makes 4K UHD wireless
transmission a reality."
"Broadcast RF has one operational goal, to provide high-quality,
state-of-the-art RF technology," says Chris
Brandrick, Sales Director, Broadcast RF. "The purchase of 18
new Vislink HCAM systems will equip us with the very best 4K UHD
