SCENE 01 / WIRELESS SYSTEMS
Wireless Systems
Complete wireless infrastructure for your Chinese production.
Wireless communication and audio transmission systems keep production teams connected and audio signals flowing without physical cables. These systems encompass wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, and comms networks that are vital for coordinating large crews across expansive sets or locations.
We provide wireless system packages configured for your production's specific communication and audio distribution needs. Our team coordinates frequency planning and equipment testing to ensure interference-free operation, allowing seamless crew communication and reliable audio transmission throughout your shoot.

Integrated wireless infrastructure for Chinese productions
Wireless infrastructure on a Chinese production has to handle far more than just microphones. Wireless video for the director and client villages, IFB feeds to talent, intercom networks across grip and electric teams, wireless follow focus for the camera department, and the comms backbone that lets a Hengdian backlot move two units in parallel without stepping on each other's cues. MIIT (China's spectrum regulator, the FCC equivalent) sets the legal frequency blocks each of those systems is allowed to occupy, and enforcement around Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen is unusually strict.
Here is how this works in practice. Which is why our team runs a documented RF survey at every location before crew call. Teradek Bolt 4K and 6, Vaxis Storm, and Hollyland Pyro for wireless video distribution; Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus for lens control; Riedel Bolero and Clear-Com FreeSpeak for comms — all imported via China Customs ATA carnet through our Beijing facility.
Coordination ties everything together — wireless mics, IFB, video hops, lens motors, and intercom channels assigned across MIIT-authorised blocks with the paperwork each department needs to program their gear. We scan and allocate frequencies at Hengdian World Studios backlots, Qingdao Wanda Studios soundstages, Beijing hutong exteriors, Shanghai Pudong skyline interiors, and the regional unit bases NRTA co-productions tend to spread across — Yunnan, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Hainan, and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen tech corridor.
The picture on the ground is more specific. Chinese Filmmakers' Association-affiliated comms technicians and DITs trained at the Beijing Film Academy run the assignment sheet on the day, and on-call RF monitoring continues through the shoot. Dozens of channels across multiple departments are routinely supported, and large-scale productions with parallel units at Hengdian or Qingdao benefit most from the full coordination plan our team builds during prep.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you coordinate?
We coordinate all production wireless systems including microphones, IFB/IEM, wireless video, lens control, intercom, and any other RF equipment. Comprehensive coordination ensures all systems work together without interference.
How do you handle frequency allocation?
We scan your locations, identify clean frequencies within Chinese legal spectrum, and allocate channels to all departments. We provide frequency documentation and work with each department to program their equipment.
What about wireless video systems?
We supply Teradek Bolt, Vaxis Storm, and other wireless video systems for video village distribution. These provide zero-latency transmission allowing directors and clients to monitor without cables.
Do you provide wireless lens control?
Yes, we supply wireless follow focus systems including Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus. We ensure lens control frequencies are coordinated with other wireless systems.
What about Chinese RF regulations?
We're familiar with Chinese frequency regulations and ensure all wireless equipment operates within legal spectrum. We can advise on registration requirements for high-power systems.
Can you support large-scale productions?
Yes, we regularly support productions with dozens of wireless channels across multiple departments. Complex productions benefit most from comprehensive RF coordination.
