AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- xG®
Technology, Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), whose
brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video
communications in the broadcast, military and government markets,
announces today that IMT Vislink will be
demonstrating an innovative enhancement to its HCAM and
UltraReceiver wireless camera solution to provide single-frame
end-to-end latency for 4K UHD
transmissions at IBC 2018 (Stand 1.A69).
Production companies and event producers are increasingly
turning to wireless camera solutions in order to make live
programming more immersive and engaging for viewers. The growth in
UHD and HDR programming follows this trend of seeking out greater
realism and a "really there" sense of involvement. Vislink's
single-frame latency wireless camera solution allows greater
creative flexibility by allowing event directors to seamlessly cut
between wired and wireless UHD resolution cameras at will and with
full confidence of providing continuity throughout the
broadcast.
"We introduced the HCAM HEVC UHD wireless camera transmitter at
IBC last year, being the first company to bring this type of
wireless camera solution that enables high-quality, long range
operations within narrow RF channels to market," says David Robins, Global Sales Director for Vislink.
"Vislink is proud to offer another market first with the updated
HCAM and UltraReceiver solution, as it provides a significant
improvement to operators by delivering quality UHD pictures with
latencies as low as a single frame, while enhancing broadcasting
freedom. HCAM fills the need for reliable HEVC transmission and
allows for better compression without sacrificing quality."
HCAM is the most widely deployed HEVC 4K UHD wireless transmitter on the market today.
It supports applications such as ENG (Electronic News Gathering)
and premium live sports broadcasts. It features
user-interchangeable RF modules and a range of software options –
including the capability to be HDR Ready. With highly flexible and
configurable mounting options and intuitive video interfaces, the
unit can be mounted to broadcast cameras, ENG cameras and prosumer
cameras.
HCAM features 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 via RTB modification.
Perfect for broadcast sports and ENG news coverage with wireless
cameras, the UltraReceiver is a 1RU half-width, rackmount
chassis receiver. The versatile receiver features four UHF inputs
with maximum-ratio combining, DVB-T and proprietary LMS-T
demodulation, as well as ASI and IP capabilities.
