Teradek HD-SDI Encoder WiFi

The Teradek Cube is the world's first camera-top wireless HD video encoder. The Cube 120 with WiFi receives the video signal by connecting into your camera's HD-SDI out and streams up to 1080p over WiFi making it the ideal solution for Guerilla Filmmakers who need on-set video monitoring without the cost or complexity of a full VTR rig. Cube is also a great solution for full-scale film productions to eliminate camera tethering on long dolly moves, running footage, steadicam shots, hand-held operation, jib-arms, and crane shots.

Cubeﾒs ad-hoc networking mode creates a network and streams directly to a decoding device such as a Laptop or iPad with no other equipment required. Using Cubeﾒs infrastructure network mode Cubeﾒs IP video stream can be distributed over a LAN/WAN or over the Internet. Cube uses the worldﾒs most advanced video compression ﾖ H.264 High Profile Level 4.1 and provides Blu-ray video quality. Cubeﾒs end-to-end latency is approximately 1/8-1/2 second.*

Cube is tiny (about the size of a deck of cards), uses only 2.5W of DC power, and weighs only 7 ounces, and mounts easily to a rail system, cage, hotshoe, or camera baseplate. Cubeﾒs line-of-sight WiFi range is approximately 300 feet when used with a high quality WiFi access point. Cube has been tested extensively with RED ONE**, Arri Alexa, Panavision Genesis, Canon 5D Mark ii, Canon 7D, various handi-cams and more.

*Latency measured by independent third party testers. iPadﾒs native video decoder adds approximately 10 seconds of latency. An RTP solution for iPad will be available shortly to eliminate the latency issue.

**Cube is not compatible with RED ONEﾒs HDMI output as its output is non-standard. Cube works beautifully with RED ONEﾒs HD-SDI.
