The Cinema Photography industry revolution

The cinematography industry has changed significantly over the last several years. The production setup has become more flexible and easier to establish. All officials on the set are wirelessly connected with real-time, zero delay connectivity between  high-quality cameras and monitors.

The film crew is using monitors to watch the scenes between camera capture and monitoring screens. The required delay is below 10 milliseconds, in order to keep the match between the set and what is captured by the camera.

In the past, SDI Cable connection between cameras and monitors were commonly used, but the large cables introduced some major issues:

    Long sprawling cables entangled with equipment costing time and money.

    The sets were difficult and costly to set up and dismantle.

    It was challenging to wire all the required screens.

What did Zero delay wireless link bring to the table?

A new technology by Amimon, patent protected, based on CONNEX technology, became the ultimate solution to transfer SDI and/or HDMI raw data over the air, with zero-delay (less than 1ms delay), with the same cable quality and covering a much greater range of up to 1000 meters (3000 feet).

The technology supports multi-screen connections, up to four receivers for each camera (transmitter), supporting multi-system operations. It is now possible to operate up to eight cameras simultaneously on the set, including audio, video and two-way control between the producer and the camera. The producer, photographer, first and second assistants, and the director all have their own monitors and can operate in different locations on the set. The photographer is free to move with his camera without a porter, saving time and money on preparations and dismantling of the sets.
