SCENE 01 / WIRELESS VIDEO SYSTEMS
Wireless Video Systems
Professional wireless video for your Chinese production.
Wireless video systems send camera feeds to monitors, video villages, and remote viewing stations with no cables. They free the camera to move and let you spread out tracking stations, so directors and focus pullers can watch live feeds from anywhere on set or on location.
We source wireless video systems with the range, latency, and channel count your production needs. Our team plans the frequencies and tests the signal, which keeps transmission reliable and clear of interference between the camera and every tracking station on your shoot.

Teradek and Vaxis wireless chains licensed through MIIT spectrum
Our wireless video stock in China runs through the Beijing prep ring at Mango Studios, BFA Gear, and Beijing Film Gear. Shanghai Film Studio Rental and Pacific AV hold the Yangtze Delta stock. Hengdian Gear Rental and Qingdao Wanda Rental Supply stage the regional kit for shoots on the Hengdian Ming-Qing backlot or the Qingdao Wanda Studios sound stages.
Our rental team books the full wireless stack. That means Teradek Bolt 4K LT, Bolt 4K 750, Bolt 4K 1500, and Bolt 6 XT for long-throw global features. It also covers Vaxis Storm 3000 and 1000 plus the Atom A5 series from the Shenzhen Vaxis line, and Hollyland Mars 4K and Pyro from the Shenzhen Hollyland HQ. We add DJI Transmission for the gimbal and drone-feed work that Chinese ad agencies and streamer commercials now build their shot lists around.
Multi-receiver builds feed directors, focus pullers, script supervisors, and client tents from the same TX, and the wireless engineer tunes the antenna gain during prep. That tuning matters most when the shoot hits Hengdian Ming-Qing palace courtyards, where thick walls block line-of-sight, or the Tibetan plateau exterior at 3,400m, where the thin air cuts the range.
Every wireless setup in China needs MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) RF-range licensing, the Mainland version of the FCC. Our pre-production team files the range clearance through the Beijing or Shanghai production office four to six weeks before the shoot. The Public Security Bureau location permit is matched to the same channel plan.
Each TX/RX pair is bench-tested at the rental house against the camera's 1.3GHz, 1.9GHz, 2.0GHz, or 5GHz operating band. Antenna sets are staged with directional gain panels for long-throw work. We check the latency budget against the focus puller's Preston FI+Z, cmotion cPRO, or ARRI Hi-5 hand unit. The case then ships under ATA carnet through Beijing Capital, Shanghai Pudong, or Guangzhou Baiyun cargo, and our customs broker handles the 17% VAT bond and the China Customs short-term import.
Chinese DITs and video engineers from the BFA-trained pool handle on-set integration. They run the Teradek 4-Pack and Vaxis Storm receivers, the fibre-to-wireless conversion through AJA Mini-Converters, and the V-mount and Gold-mount battery chain that keeps the wireless village live across the full shoot day. Spare TX/RX pairs ride with the camera truck to Hengdian and Qingdao. Our 24-hour swap cycle covers RF dropouts, antenna damage, and interference from rival Mainland shoots sharing the same nearby studio campus.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless video systems do you recommend?
For most pro shoots we recommend the Teradek Bolt for its reliable, zero-latency link. Vaxis Storm gives great quality at a lower price. The right pick depends on your needs and budget.
How many receivers can you support?
Modern systems feed many receivers from one transmitter, and the Teradek Bolt 4K supports up to 6. For larger video villages, we can pair many transmitters and receivers together.
What's the range of wireless video?
Range differs by system and setting. The Teradek Bolt 4K reaches up to 1500ft line-of-sight. For longer distances or tricky spots, we can suggest extended-range gear or better antenna placement.
Do you provide 4K wireless video?
Yes. We supply 4K-capable wireless systems, including the Teradek Bolt 4K and Vaxis options. A 4K link lets you watch full-resolution images at the video village.
What about latency?
Pro systems like the Teradek Bolt run at sub-1ms latency, which is as good as zero. That matters for focus pulling and real-time tracking. Some budget systems lag more.
Can you provide complete video village setup?
Yes. We supply full video village setups, including wireless links, monitors, signal distribution, and all cabling. We can build multi-camera villages with separate feeds for the director and the clients.
