Is it possible to transmit a live wireless HVX200 video stream to FCP using a Mac Book Pro?

The camera will be mounted outside the fuselage of an airplane and we would like to use a wireless transmitter to send the full DVCPROHD video stream into the cabin. Apparently wireless transmitters for FW400 do not exist...? So, is it possible to send the live video stream through USB2 to be captured directly with FCP on a MBP? Here is the USB2 transmitter we were thinking of using: Belkin Wireless USB2 Hub
 
Wireless DVCPROHD- no such thing afaik... But you could transmit HD-SDI wirelessly. Well not easily but if you spent considerable dollars on an HD wireless system. Then capture to a Matrox MXO2 or Kona IOHD. Though honestly it's hard to see the point when you've got the perfect recorder right on the camera.

I would simply transmit an SD wireless signal for monitoring. Get a VHF wireless transmitter and you're all set- though of course it must be cleared with the pilot. Then connect a wired or wireless remote trigger to the camera and just record to P2 and then recover when the plane lands.

oceancoral, or just hire me to sit on the fuselage and I'll record for you! :)
I think Noah had the best plan. You have a remote that comes with the camera.
Sounds like a great gig. Don't forget to always let the client know you can do anything, but for the impossible it will cost them money. :)
