Product Info

The PWS-100RX1 Wireless Streaming Receiver offers high-quality live streaming from XDCAM Camcorders on a single 4G/LTE cellular channel or Wi-Fi network. The PWS-100RX1 uses Sony’s unique QoS (quality of service) technology or MPEG2-TS to maintain video and audio integrity during transmission. Each unit can receive up to 30 live streams simultaneously and output up to two through SDI. The PWS-100RX1includes reference and timecode input connectors, which enable synchronized operation with broadcast systems. In addition, it can output in a variety of broadcast formats, including 1080i and 720p. The PWS-100RX1 system comes with preinstalled Connection Control Manager software that enables easy connection to camcorders and delivers efficient handling of the live streams. The system is compatible with 4G/LTE or Wi-Fi. Dongles or the CBK-WA100 and CBK-WA101 wireless LAN adapter. The PXW-X180, PXW-X200 and PXW-X500 camcorders have built-in live streaming version upgrades. As well as live streaming, a planned upgrade will allow the unit to receive files transferred direct from camcorders.
