The remote controller of compatible DJI drones plugs into
SlingStudio’s HDMI input port, or connects to SlingStudio
wirelessly via the CameraLink wireless adapter. The drone streams
live footage to its controller base, which then routes the video to
the SlingStudio hub via the HDMI or CameraLink connection. This
allows the drone to send high-quality video to SlingStudio from
anywhere within the drone’s recommended range.
“SlingStudio simplifies production for videographers looking to
film with multiple drones, or drones in combination with ground
cameras,” said Vivek Khemka, DISH chief technology officer. “Its
wireless, drone friendly setup allows drone pilots to capture
footage without being limited by cords or cumbersome film
equipment.”
Starting at $999, SlingStudio is capable of recording,
monitoring and editing four HD video inputs from up to 10 aerial
drone systems, ground cameras and smartphones. It can output live
video to streaming services like Facebook Live and YouTube, while
simultaneously recording to a USB hard drive, USB SSD or SD card
for post-production.
“With SlingStudio, creative professionals now have the freedom
and flexibility to tell a story from multiple points of view in
real time,” said Ryan Tong, Director of Marketing at DJI. “We’re
excited to see how crews flying DJI drones will incorporate this
technology to bring a new element of storytelling to their live
video projects.”
The SlingStudio system is available in-store and online at
B&H Photo Video, as well as MySlingStudio.com. Accessories
include:
- CameraLink ($349) wireless adapter
plugs into the HDMI port available on most DSLRs, video cameras and
drone controller bases. It wirelessly transmits up to 1080p60 video
to the SlingStudio hub from up to 300 feet away. Its internal
battery provides up to two hours of power.
- Battery ($149) provides up to three
hours of power to the SlingStudio hub for portability.
- USB-C Expander ($49) supports wired
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for live broadcasting, and connects
to USB 3.0 hard drives or SSDs for recording content.
How SlingStudio Works
Setup: Capture video from different
angles by wirelessly connecting up to 10 video sources (DSLR
cameras, video cameras, drone systems, smartphones, personal
computers, etc.) to a single SlingStudio using its private,
video-grade Wi-Fi network; Internet connectivity is not required.
Elimination of cables dramatically reduces setup time, and allows
for ground cameras and drone controller bases to be placed anywhere
(within 300 feet of the SlingStudio hub) and easily moved.
HDMI-enabled DSLRs, video cameras and drone controller bases
connect via SlingStudio’s CameraLink wireless adapter (sold
separately) or to SlingStudio’s HDMI input port. Smartphones using
iOS and Android operating systems directly connect to SlingStudio
wirelessly using the Capture app available for free download in the
Apple App Store and Google Play Store; no CameraLink needed.
Production: The iPad Console app
(available for free download in the Apple App Store) is required to
manage video production with SlingStudio. It allows directors to
monitor and create live-to-tape video from up to four (out of a
maximum of 10 connected) input sources simultaneously, and drag and
drop video into a composition window. Here directors can create
dynamic video compositions like picture-in-picture, split and quad
views; edit in popular transitions like cut, dissolve and wipe; add
text overlays and lower thirds; and mix audio. All of this can be
done in real time as live video is streamed to platforms like
Facebook Live or YouTube, and simultaneously recorded to a USB hard
drive, USB SSD or SD card for post-production. External audio
sources, audio mixers and output monitors can also connect to
SlingStudio for advanced production needs.
Post-production: Individual
recordings from each camera feed, plus the live-switched video and
audio line-in, are saved in a single storage location, eliminating
the need to wrangle and import multiple storage drives from each
camera. With just a couple clicks of the mouse, the entire project
file can then be easily imported into editing applications like
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CC and Apple Final Cut Pro® X.
