Teradek Ranger Mk II 5000 12G-SDI/HDMI - Wireless RX 26V Gold-Mount
The average latency for RF-based wireless video transmission is 30.8ms, but the human eye can detect a delay as low as 13ms. To address this, Teradek has developed Ranger, the only wireless video solution that achieves true zero-delay transmission with less than 1ms latency while maintaining visually lossless picture quality. With the addition of 6GHz support (U-NII 5), users can now access 12 newly opened RF channels, ensuring operation without interference.
Hardware Overview
Featuring state-of-the-art hardware designed for professional video production, the Ranger Series is powered by Emmy® and Academy Award-winning technology for zero-delay wireless video transmission. It offers an impressive maximum range of 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) and is compatible with various professional broadcast, sports, and ENG applications, including handheld gimbals, drones, and shoulder-mounted production cameras.
Operate Over a Massive Spectrum
As the number of wireless devices increases and frequency bands become limited, maintaining a clear signal can be challenging. Ranger provides multiple options: 5 GHz for general use, licensed band frequencies for special events, and the new 6 GHz U-NII-5 band, which offers 12 new channels of uncongested wireless spectrum.
Seriously, No Delay
A noticeable delay in audio and video transmission can hinder the viewer experience. Ranger’s patented zero-delay technology effectively eliminates this issue, allowing audio and video signals to be transmitted with ultra-low latency, even at 4K60, delivering a visually lossless and immersive experience for audiences. Families Stick Together Ranger systems are designed for flexibility, allowing any combination of Ranger TX and RX units to be paired together, regardless of model. This feature enables productions to scale quickly and utilize a variety of Ranger systems tailored to their specific needs.
