FS700 Wireless Monitoring Solution to Video Village?

I was wondering if there is a wireless monitoring solution for the FS700?

This is only for the client feed / monitor at the video village. I prefer to just hardwire the feed using a long SDI cable, but several shoots back we used a steady cam for some shots and obviously you cannot hard wire a steady cam. So during those shots, the clients could not see the feed.

The video tech said he had a wireless monitoring solution for the RED, but he didn't think it would work for the FS700 so we didn't try it. Does a wireless solution for the FS700 exist?
 
For HDMI, try the Paralinx Arrow+, rated at 300ft line of sight and can multicast. Distance can drop quickly if you have to go through walls. About $1300+ to get started. Have used this on my FS700 while steadicam-ing, works great.

For SDI, Teradek's Bolt Pro offers a similar solution in a small package as well, starts around $2000 (non-pro)/$2500 (pro). Both solutions have low enough latencies to allow 1st to pull focus wirelessly.

Rental houses should carry both if you want to compare and see if either work well for your shooting situations.
