WiFi Video to your Ipad!

WiFi Video to your Ipad!

Teradek Cube Encoder/Decoder: Last year Ohio HD learned about the Teradek Cube and bought one to try.  At that point the technology was very new and we had to return it because the video latency was too long to be useful on set.  This year we gave the Teradek another try and it has proven to be amazing.  The Teradek is a box about the size of a deck of cards that mounts to the camera and connects to the SDI output.  It then encodes the signal and generates its own WiFi network.  In this configuration it can send a wireless signal to up to three Ipads with less than a 1/2 second delay.  It can also be setup to stream the video to clients in another part of the building or across the country.  We see all kinds of cool aplications for this device on the set.  The gaffer or the art director can have their own monitors for making quick lighting adjustments, and directors and clients are no longer stuck in video village.
