  • The newest in technology for Sports TV Broadcasting.
    We fit Velo4G cameras to the bikes for the Hammer Series Racing in the Netherlands. Weighing in at less that 180 grams and sending their live TV pictures back to the Outside Broadcast vans via 4G.
    Simple to operate, the cameras are fully remote controllable whilst on the bike from the TV truck.
    The camera software is very robust. No need for an app / phone, these units connect straight to the network and are available directly at the decoders in the truck plus over 2 hours of TV transmission.

    Hello, please keep up your v-logging videos. They are super interesting. BTW, we need to put cameras inside a rally car for live mixing. We tried the larix app from an iPhone (SRT and HEVC) but we got unusable picture quality. We tried bonding solutions like liveU + gopro feed and it works but it is kinda expensive for a lot of cameras. Will some RF cameras work in this situations? Could you enlighten us? Thanks!

      Sure, will do once the world opens up again ! I'm itching to get back on the road, Depending on how far you are trying to send the picture ? you could try a Marshall CV200/ CV225 / 226 into a DTC nano transmitter at 100mw, or a Vislink 1500 up to airplane at 10 watts, then downlink to a base, or transmit to heli, and relay back via 4g from there. (4g on the ground from a car is bad but 4g at a heli is usually good using a viprinet multi way 4g bonding), I suppose it just depends on the budget.

      @@itsAndyFordham We sure do not have an heli. Will the DTC nano transmitter work with some kind of antenna and receiver placed in a strategic place in a moutain. Bear in mind that rally races take place in remote roads.

      @@SportFlow Yes, we used 100mw to transmit from helmet camera down a 5km ski run, check out the end of my Korea skiing vlog, with about 10 antennas separated down the track linked to our control hub using rf over fibre, then the diversity feeds are combined allowing for a complete uninterrupted shot down the side of a mountain from just 100mw, and went live live. If you need more info just shout.

    That's awesome. I'm surprised you can get a clean signal without any type of bonding, just a single 4g connection?

    • @itsAndyFordham
      @itsAndyFordham  3 года назад +3

      Yes, Europe has very good 4G and we only use these cameras in places that we have tested and can be guaranteed they will work for an event, the latency will be about 3 seconds from camera to decoder using our red5 servers. The cameras run as rtmp, with fast reconnection on break rather than rtp, this gives us a more solid connection than with possible rtp packet loss as then only have single modem, if the signal fails they will auto reconnect and flush all buffers both camera and decoder for a cleaner reconnect. During the Tour De France, we have pushed over 4mbs for over 20 minutes without breaks, it just depends what the 4G in the area will be like.

      During the Tour de France, Orange Telecom has pulled 32km of cables and deployed 54 temporary 3G, 4G and 5G relay and some of them have stayed permanently.

      @@itsAndyFordham Have you tested same setup but with SRT, RISC or zixy protocols? They are much more robust than RTMP and it should work much better.

      Hiya, new cams are SRT, this is an old video now 😀
