Does anyone know of a good device that will do wireless video asst to a monitor. Where by you set the TV/monitor to a specific channel. I don't want to put a reciever on the TV, but to just use the transmitter off of the camera.

It also would be great if it came off the camera as a S-video signal, but that might have to be powered?
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst

that would be cool.. I like the concept JVC did with thier 3 chiper and the MPEG4 streaming, but quality wise I dont think you could use it for monitoring. Would be nice if one of the wireless audio companies added a UHF feed along with the wireless audio.
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst

My technician designs and builds a video transmitter for betacam and 35mm, but he is currently modifying it for me to work on the DVX. His website is www.gve.net

Re: Wireless Video Asst

Thanks Tim,
Where is it getting it's power from? Also do you have to have a reciever for the TV? What sort of mods did he do to have it work with the DVX?

Hey Tim, I used to cut for Alar at Bananazz, with Barry F. Ha
Small world.
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst

and Buder! ;) Ha... must have been an interesting time.

At the moment my tech is planning to just power the transmitter from an NP1 (for about 8hours of run-time), but I have given him one of my big 5300Mah Panasonic batteries to create a breakout cable that will steal power from the same battery that runs the DVX.
I'm getting it ready for a steadicam shoot next week, so we'll see how it works. I'm just going to gaff tape it to the sled.

Buder ha, Scott Carelton is one of my oldest friends.

What kind of coin am I looking at to get one of these?

Also does it require a specific reciever on the monitor or can you just dial into a specific channel?

Do you know Jane Broadfoot?
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst

Is she with 3rd floor?   I don't know her personally.   I don't know Scott either (I don't think.)

I think price to buy one of these transmitters is around $700, but I'm not really sure.   He mostly just sells them to steadicam guys, but you could probably rent one from Whites or Panavision.
I think he makes them tune to different frequencies.  THe one pictured is CH30 UHF.

Re: Wireless Video Asst

Hmmmm! Hook it up to your car and drive it down into a huge ravine. Of course, you'll have to jump out at the last second. But that should make for some interresting action footage.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Hope you're insurance covers such an "accident"? ::)
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst

...you know i actually did that very thing some odd years ago when i was a deviant teen. except we lit the car on fire first. anyway.. i better shut my attic door before more of those types of skeletons fall out.
 
Re: Wireless Video Asst
