In its ongoing efforts to develop efficient, file-based wireless workflows supporting the requirements of news production, Sony’s NAB exhibit will highlight camcorders with built-in wireless capabilities, and wireless adapters that can relay video and audio directly from field locations via 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi networks.
“Customers need a fast and direct way to stream content in a cost-effective manner,” said Alex Rossi, product marketing manager, Sony’s Professional Solutions Americas group. “Using Sony’s new PWS-100RX1, broadcasters can now easily and efficiently transmit audio and video from on-locations shoots with the immediacy needed for live news.”
The PWS-100RX1 is compatible with Sony XDCAM camcorders currently used by broadcasters throughout the world, and is very simple to connect and set up. The PWS-100RX1 is equipped with SDI outputs for concurrent dual video streams. Systems can also be easily extended by adding more PWS-100RX1 units, allowing for multi-site broadcasts and greater input/output loads.
By eliminating prohibitive cost and resource constraints, the PWS-100RX1 opens up many new opportunities for live streams used in various types of TV productions.

Connection Control Manager
software to enable easy connection to camcorders as well as routing to SDI outputs, and it delivers efficient handling of live video streams received via 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi and wired connections.
Connection Control Manager
features a comprehensive GUI that can be used to view thumbnails from multiple camcorders; to control camcorder connections, transmission bit rates and latency settings; to monitor output from multiple PWS-100RX1 units, and more.
The unit includes reference signal and timecode input connectors which enable synchronized operation with broadcast systems. In addition, it can output in a variety of broadcast formats – including 1080i and 720p.
Sony is also developing a version upgrade for receiving video files that will enhance workflow efficiency for program productions and is targeted to be released in fall 2015.
