Introduction
At IBC 2024, Accsoon introduced its new CineView Master 4K Wireless System. This flagship wireless video system promises enhanced strength, speed, and stability compared to earlier Accsoon models.
Power and Battery Options
Versatile Powering
Both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) can be powered using NP-F-type batteries or a DC barrel connector. Additionally, Accsoon provides a V-mount sandwich plate, which allows for a cleaner setup and longer run times with larger batteries.
Key Features
Tri-Band Wireless Video System
The CineView Master 4K is the first tri-band wireless video system, operating on 6GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4GHz frequencies. Utilizing Accsoon’s new transmission protocol and patented technology, it ensures a strong and stable connection.
High-Performance Specifications
This system is the first 4K 60P Wi-Fi-based video transmission system. It supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and offers an extended range of up to 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles). The system breaks the 30ms latency barrier with less than 25ms latency.
Dual Monitoring Capability
For the first time, users can add a cabled iPad or iPhone for monitoring while simultaneously sending wireless video. The system supports 4K 60 transmission with a stated latency of 25ms for 1080 HD and 35ms for 4K.
Advanced Processing Power
The CineView Master 4K is powered by a new High-Performance A/V Processor with 8K capabilities. This processor offers a 400% increase in processing power, allowing future 8K video processing. Currently, the system supports 4K only.
Enhanced Transmission Protocol
Accsoon’s RTMS 4.0 proprietary protocol is used for transmission, offering improved robustness and optimization. The 6GHz frequency, featuring 14 available channels, provides higher speeds with less interference.
Comprehensive 4K Solution
End-to-End 4K Support
Accsoon brings a complete 4K 60P solution to Wi-Fi-based wireless video systems. It supports 4K input, loop-out, encode, decode, output, transmission, record, and livestream. This end-to-end 4K capability ensures a seamless experience for professionals in the field.
MFi Video and Camera-to-Cloud Connectivity
SeeMo Technology Integration
The CineView Master 4K uses Accsoon’s SeeMo technology for professional monitoring and streaming via a cabled connection from the transmitter to an iPad or iPhone. This feature also enables camera-to-cloud connectivity with Frame.io, facilitating quick sharing and distribution of 4K video while shooting or recording footage for instant review.
Physical Design and Connectivity
Efficient Design
The new physical design of the CineView Master 4K TX and RX focuses on high efficiency, intelligent heat dissipation, and greater modularity. The transmitter includes HD-SDI and 4K HDMI 2.0 inputs, along with an HDMI 2.0 output for 4K loop-out. The receiver offers both 4K HDMI and HD-SDI outputs.
Versatile Output Options
Using the same technology as Accsoon’s popular SeeMo iOS adapters, the CineView Master 4K integrates the functions of a SeeMo and the new 4K 60P wireless system into a single unit. The wired MFi-certified connection transforms a connected iPad or iPhone into a professional camera-top monitor, capable of viewing, recording, or streaming 4K 60P video. The resolution of the MFi output can be set to either 4K or HD, allowing different resolution settings for RX units or wirelessly connected iOS devices.
User-Friendly App and Cooling Options
Accsoon SEE App
The newly redesigned Accsoon SEE app works on both wired and wirelessly connected iPads and iPhones, as well as wirelessly connected Android devices. It offers professional features like live streaming, recording, focus peaking, pinch-to-magnify, image flip, waveforms, audio level meters, false color, and more, all via touch control.
Configurable Cooling Fan
The in-built cooling fan can be user-configured for optimal performance with several modes:
- STANDARD MODE: Allows peak fan speeds for optimal performance in all environments.
- QUIET MODE: Reduces fan speed to limit noise.
- TURN IT OFF: In audio-critical scenarios, the fan can be completely turned off for a limited time, depending on ambient temperatures.
Price and Availability
Competitive Pricing
The Accsoon CineView Master 4K is priced at $849 USD and will begin shipping in Q3 2024. This competitive pricing makes it an attractive option for professionals seeking a robust and versatile 4K wireless video system.
Conclusion
The Accsoon CineView Master 4K Wireless System sets a new standard in wireless video transmission with its tri-band capability, low latency, and comprehensive 4K support. With advanced features like camera-to-cloud connectivity, a high-performance processor, and versatile power and mounting options, it is poised to become a valuable asset for filmmakers and videographers.
