wireless monitoring solution

The way you have all those fragile components exposed in the back - it seems you are dealing with much lesser brutes then i do...
 
I was saving up to a Paralinx Arrow system, but then I saw this! Does the Aries Pro work okey? Any issues or dropouts?

Some people on Red forum claim that Paralinx connects with this unit - similarity in the look makes me believe that Paralinx is re-branded some "Made in China" goods.

The drop out occurs when you push the unit to the limits. In my case placing the receiver 50feet away behind brick wall.

For the price it's a no brainer. No dropouts until 100 feet or so.
 
Cool!

Just got of the chat with Nyirus and they told me that the transmitter will only send to one receiver, so if you want more screens you will have to buy another complete system. No big deal if you only want one screen, but it would be nice if it was upgradable.

It also seems like paralinx system is at the moment not able to send to multiple recievers as well. On the cvp.co.uk product faq page, it is stated that they are working on a solution, but as of right now, their transmitter will only send to one reciever.

I'm gonna get an Aries when it's available on amazon, thanks for sharing Patryk.
 
BTW, i'm convinced (without ability to say how) that Paralinx at 4x the price is better than Nyirus - you ALWAYS get what you pay for. I'm sure Paralinx has certain features that consumer product like Nyirus doesn't have (encryption, ability to send to multiple receivers, what else?). If those were features that were important to me i would go with Paralinx.

Totally agree. I should also mention that customer support from Paralinx is apparently excellent. Dan Kanes will answer any questions very promptly. To be honest, I assembled my wireless unit on the cheap as more of an experiment because it was so cheap. I was surprised how well it worked. It's been rented out a few times with no issues. If it falls apart I'll probably go with the Paralinx.
 
We’ll have Paralinx, IDX and Teradek wireless HDMI sets (withbattery solutions) working on various cams at our NAB booth C11143.

Hey Rich,

Whats happening with that Gyro product?

Hi Bob,

We essentially stopped development a while back. Needed a lot more money than I had to achieve the performance goals necessary for a commercial product. Ironically we received a US patent more than a year ago.

But it’s still my dream because I love what it can do, and we’ll be doing some new prototype testing this summer.

Regarding the Nyrius vs Paralinx--the cases are obviously cut from the same cloth (as are other manufacturer's versions) as they are all built by Amimon, who designed not only this generation of product but also the tech found in the previous Camwave, the Boxx Meridian etc. The difference comes in the software implentation as well as exernal hardware. In the case of the Paralinx, frequency switching to avoid interference and additional internal antennae over the Nyrius unit.

The bottom line is how does each perform under worst case scenarios. Anyone who has used a transmitter before knows that one day things are great and another not so much. So many factors contribute to performance and it can be frustrating. I had the previous Camwave work flawlessly in Times Square and then fail from five feet away in the Italian countryside. The Nyrius may work perfectly in one situation but fail in another where the Paralinx wins--and then vice versa. You simply cannot judge the performance of a transmitter by doing a single test, it takes months to evaluate across multiple shooting situations to really get the whole picture.

For those looking for non-critical monitoring on the cheap, where failure of the system is simply a shrug and "oh well" (as opposed to "WTF is with your setup? This thing sucks!" i.e. someone is paying you for the rental), any of these will probably do the trick. Just don't rely on it.

Look for new product at NAB that will add more flexibility to existing systems and a few new players to the field...
