Monitor knows HD. We have a large inventory of playback systems to accommodate any project. We also have small units to provide small projects. We can also provide studio shoots with a single operator that can do both downloads and playback. We know it's a new world, give us a call we'll guide you through it. Digital Video Assist Monitor was the first to offer Digital Video Assist in Vancouver; so to say we know it well is an understatement. We have no less than five different solutions for your shoot. And the experience we have is mind-boggling. We have hauled those units from the middle of the ocean to the Arctic Circle. For just about every shooting situation imaginable. And we can do it all last moment.
We ask a lot of questions when we get hired on a production. Why? Because we have spent years accumulating more than equipment, experience. Our first priority is to make sure we are using the right playback equipment for your job. Unlike, individual operators Monitor can provide a variety of solutions for your job. And we can respond quick, after all production requirements change quickly, we understand this and we can respond.
Digital Microwave System
A new digital wireless microwave system using coded orthogonal frequency-divided multiplex with Fast Furier Transformation - and essentially transmitting on over a hundred or thousand different frequencies instead of one. When a given amount of the packets arrive, the picture is formed. Hence this wireless, maybe the best one we have ever seen, is very robust against terrain, other transmitters or reflections. In the real world this translates to an almost perfect picture in a 600 yard radius around transmitter - far more than the average film set needs. Even long Steadicam runs can be covered with the receiver sitting on the video cart with no long antenna cables. With the external high-gain antennas, the range can grow significally.
UHF transmitter
The best UHF system today. Settable over a wide range of frequencies, it has variable output power to overcome multipath problems. Runs of 12-24V. Displays the camera battery voltage. Can transmit to our 50", 42", 17" and 8" monitors with tuners. PAL compatible.
5,8GHz microwave system
Usable for large distance point-to-point transmission where line of sight is provided. The receiving grid antenna provides 22dBi of gain, which is enough for thousands of yards in a clear weather. Transmitter has small dipole antenna for ease of use. While it is not suitable for moving camera situations (e.g. helicopter or steadicam), its great for transmission between buildings or locations. Transmits audio and video. PAL compatible.
