Re: Wireless Transmission
I'm not aware of any video transfer systems like that. What are you trying to accomplish by doing it that way?

Re: Wireless Transmission
Such systems exist for Steadicams and they are very expensive. There is one called a Modulus that sells for $2,000.
I've seen ads recently for several 'prosumer' versions that sell for much less, but I've never used one to know how effective they are.

Re: Wireless Transmission
Ah, so there is such a thing.
I don't know that it's worth it. 25' S-video cables can be had for $20.

Good call.
I'll also look into the prosumer version of the steadicam system. Maybe it'll be worth it, if the price is right.

Re: Wireless Transmission
Jarred pointed out an ebay auction for a wireless system, that could take the composite output of the DVX and broadcast it to a receiver, and the receiver plugs into any monitor or TV. The auction was for like $8. I ordered one, played with it briefly, and it seems to work. Obviously not for critical use, but for just knowing basically what's in the frame, it seems worth $8...

Re: Wireless Transmission
Yeah, I bought the same one....the only issue was the shipping...$36.
It also eats 9 volts for breakfast.

Re: Wireless Transmission
Dude, I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but they sell wireless video transmitters and receivers fairly cheap at spy camera and hidden camera stores. All you have to do is plug your camera into the transmitter and plug your monitor into the receiver and ta da. I'm not sure right off hand where those websites are, but do a google search for wireless audio/video and you're bound to come up with something useful. If all else fails just look through those spy websites.

Re: Wireless Transmission
I have a wireless setup for my R/C planes. www.blackwidowav.com Small, but kinda expensive if you don't want to make it yourself.
Remember, for all of this stuff you need to have an FCC HAM license, and many of the super cheap ebay transmitters are not legal to operate in the US even with an amateur radio license.
Food for thought.

Re: Wireless Transmission
The technology is out there. I have seen various Director's on Mtv's Making the Video show using them.
It almost looks like a portable dvd player with a long antenna. The director can walk around or be a good distance from the camera and can see everything the camera is seeing right on his little portable screen.

Re: Wireless Transmission
yeah.. there is the slingshot or whatever its called as well that you put on the camera and it broadcasts a UHF channel so any handheld TV or normal TV in range can pick it up.
