PARALINX ARROW - Wireless Uncompressed HD Transmitter System. Ships June 15th 2012

[Dan Kanes]

Less than 2MS is the same as all other Professional Grade systems in the market (Boxx for instance) so I'd say its very useable for focus.

We are thinking of doing a hands-on demo party BBQ in Los Angeles soon - Will keep everyone updated.

Hey guys, I have been beta testing the Paralinx and I must say it will be a great addition to every red kit.

Here is my custom cage built with x, Viewfactor and IDX parts.



more info to come.

Can you post a better pic of this rig along with what parts it is?

[Timur Civan]

Dan i just realised we met at Cinegear, i am friends with Peter Hoare. Wes and i were looking at your product. i think its great and look forward to ordering one. :)

[Dan Kanes]

Thanks Timur!

As for the kit Tonaci made - I am sure he will post details.

I'm primarily a x accessory user myself.

God, I needed one of these yesterday!

Getting anywhere from about 80 feet to at least a couple of hundred LOS up my street and thats just running the transmitter or receiver off the USB port of a SmallHD DP6, technically underpowering it a little as the TX alone would prefer 1A
Will keep testing but good results so far.

Are you powering the dp6 off canon lpe6 batts and the paralinx from the dp6? I recently used the dp6 with an Anton Bauer batt plate using the power tap. The plate has 2 PowerTaps. One batt could last all day for dp6 and paralinx I would bet.

[Jason Wingrove]

Yes powering the DP6 off the twin Canon battery plate. and yes I'm sure the 2nd d-tap would power the Arrow all day. both units draw very little

My unit arrived yesterday (thanks Dan and Hot Rod)! I had previously experimented with a WiCast - the Arrow is far superior in size, weight, build quality, and functionality - initial sync took less than 10 seconds, and the latency in use was imperceptible to me. I haven't tested max range yet, but I went over 50 feet with no problems. To mount the transmitter, I zip-tied a short HDMI male-female cable (from Amazon/MonoPrice) to a x side plate, and plugged the transmitter into that (camera-phone picture attached). It's so light that no additional support was necessary, and on the side-plate it looks like an integrated part of the camera. I ran power through to the other side under my top plate to keep cables away from blocking my SSD port. I wound up bolting one of the DTAP to mini-USB boxes to my top plate on the right side, but I might invest in a ViewFactor DTAP to mini-USB to clean that up. Anyhow, extremely happy with the Arrow; I'll look forward to battle-testing on my next shoot!

Cheers,
Tim

Nice Rigging Tim!

You will get better range if you don't have an operator in between the transmitter and receiver. It shouldn't be that detrimental but if you are range testing that will help you ;) or Us ;)
