AMSTERDAM, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- xG®
Technology, Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a leading
provider of wireless video solutions for the broadcast, law
enforcement and defense markets, and private mobile broadband
networks for critical communications, announces that its Vislink
business will showcase its new HCAM, an HEVC 4K UHD camera
transmitter, to the European market at IBC 2017, the world's
largest media, entertainment and technology show. HCAM will be
among the exciting products for broadcast, sports and entertainment
being jointly presented by Vislink and IMT at Stand 1.A69 at the
conference.
HCAM represents the next generation of HEVC 4K UHD on-camera
wireless transmitters for broadcast, ENG and prosumer cameras due
to its highly flexible and configurable mounting options and
intuitive video interfaces. HCAM permits 4K UHD wireless video with
a 70ms latency via Vislink's world leading RF modulation.
"We are excited to showcase HCAM to the European market at IBC
2017," says said George Schmitt,
Executive Chairman and CEO of xG Technology. "In
releasing HCAM, Vislink has created an optimum solution that makes
4K UHD wireless transmission an attainable option. With
user-interchangeable RF modules and a range of software options,
HCAM continues the line of innovative, high-performance wireless
camera systems from IMT and Vislink."
HCAM features interchangeable, futureproof dual SFP modules
supporting quad 3/6/12G SDI/HDMI/Fiber Optic/SMPTE 2022-6 HD-SDI
over IP interfaces. It's also designed with Wi-fi and Bluetooth®
control via a dedicated Android™ and iOS app. In
addition, the unit features integrated camera control with Vislink
FocalPoint compatibility and direct-docking V-Lock and Anton/Bauer®
battery plates with integral power feed through. It is also
compatible with Vislink's L1750 range of transmitter modules.
"With the broadcast industry moving more and more towards 4K UHD
programming, HCAM fills the need for reliable HEVC transmission,"
adds Schmitt. "HEVC allows for better compression without
sacrificing quality, especially when working with data-intensive 4K
content. Broadcasters will now be able to go places and do things
never before thought possible when out in the field as well as when
covering live broadcast events."
