Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has had any experience using wireless video transmitters with the DVX100A.

Basically, I'm going to be shooting a project on the road in a few months and quite a few scenes will be shot with the camera mounted to the hood of a car (that will be moving). As we shoot these scenes the director will be in some sort of trailer or winnebago following the car, and would like to see what is being shot on a video monitor.

Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated. As of now here is what I would like to know...

1. Are there any specific models of wireless video transmitters that you would recommend? Right now my only concern is that the signal must be able to travel at least 50 to 100 ft. or so through the walls of a winnebago.

2. We will likely be shooting with an anamorphic adapter. Based on what I read in Barry's book I should use a monitor with at least 500 lines of resolution. Are there any specific monitors that anyone here would recommend? Would portable DVD players work?

That's it for now I guess. Thanks in advance for any replys any of you may have. Have a sweet day!
 
Here is an exciting new product http://the-boxx.tv/

The two guys that designed it will be dropping one off next week for us to test. It works on 802.11b like wireless LAN. At Cinegear, the cameraman would run almost 200' between people and booths and the signal never failed.
 
Hey RUSH I saw these guys at NAB too. Very impressive product. I spent about 20minutes talking to the guy and he was telling me they were looking for a U.S. distributor. EVS??????
 
It may be that way. He will be dropping one off for us to test soon, and after we are happy with the quality, it may happen. I just want to see how it holds up after a few hours of use, like on a real set.:thumbsup:
