Wireless Camera Transmission Tech Showcased in Australia
At the SMPTE 2015 conference in Sydney, Integrated Microwave Technologies (IMT) is showcasing its award-winning wireless equipment, including the microLite HD Transmitter with V-Clip Docking. The company has partnered with regional reseller Quinto Communications to demonstrate its products.
The microLite transmitter enables users to provide high-quality wireless-camera capabilities for a range of applications. It was recently used to provide live HD coverage from a drone at the U.S. Open in Chambers Bay, WA.
HD Transmission Capabilities
The microLite HD Transmitter is designed for next-generation HD (SDI)-capable compact cameras and addresses current domestic and international broadcasting-band requirements within a single unit. The transmitter is available in licensed 2-GHz and license-free 5.8-GHz frequency versions.
The 2-GHz model covers from 1.9 to 2.5 GHz and delivers up to 200mW, while the 5.8-GHz frequency band unit has a robust 100-mW RF output. The range and power can be increased from 200mW to one watt with the optional Range Booster Amplifier (RBA).
Features and Capabilities
The microLite features superb H.264 SD and HD encoding capabilities and operates in the standard 2k DVB-T COFDM mode. The H.264 video encoder supports the main profile of the H.264 standard, providing a 30-percent bit-rate reduction or video-quality improvement compared to encoders that only support the H.264 baseline profile.
The V-Clip battery docking allows users to connect the battery to the camera and power it up through the transmitter. This enables users to employ the battery to power up the transmitter and pass power through to the camera.
