Boxx TV To Demonstrate New Products At NAB

Boxx TV is to demonstrate a new transmitter and receiver, for airborne filming, at NAB.
The system, which uses the latest version of the company's Zenith transmitter and receiver, will be shown working with a remote controlled multi-rotor device at the booth.
Zenith, which is Boxx TV's wireless ENG system for longer ranges, operates reliably over ranges of 1km and has achieved 30km distances in a point-to-point set-up. The company has produced a new lightweight model, weighing approximately 400g, for airborne applications. It uses H.264 encoding and 1080/60p and is offered in two versions, for HDMI or HD SDI input. The output from the receiver is delivered as HD SDI. The data rates and signal strengths are controlled using web-based software running on a laptop connected by a Cat 5 cable.
The Zenith transmitter and receiver operate in the licence-exempt 5.1-5.9 GHz band.
Boxx has created this demonstration with partner AirKraft Productions, to show a simple, cost-effective solution for special filming applications where HD video is required from an airborne camera.
Co- founder of Boxx TV, Scott Walker, explains: “We are seeing a lot of interest in transmitters for airborne cameras. Zenith is already proven for TV - for commercials, live sports and wildlife documentaries, but it’s also a very useful solution for public security applications – or any situation requiring high quality video from an aircraft.”
