IBC 2015, Stand E55, Hall 11 Amsterdam, Netherlands (9 September 2015) - Paralinx today announced Ace, a compact and affordable point-to-point wireless monitoring system that fits perfectly with the run-and-gun nature of today's filmmaking environment. The first glimpse of the all-new Ace will be at the IBC trade show in the Vitec Group booth (11.E55). Ace offers numerous improvements over Paralinx's original Arrow product line, including improved signal robustness and a tougher physical design. The Ace transmitter and receiver units feature a lightweight, rugged enclosure made from ABS plastic and aluminum, and deliver uncompressed HD video over a maximum range of 300 feet (100m). "With Ace, our goal is to provide a professional wireless system that camera operators, focus pullers, and directors can integrate into their setups with the smallest and lightest possible footprint, while keeping the price point accessible," said Greg Smokler, general manager of Paralinx. Shipping this month in either SDI or HDMI models, the Ace transmitter and receiver are both designed to accommodate a wide range of accessories. With threaded inserts built directly into the chassis, the end-user can mount a variety of small battery plates to the unit. Ace SDI systems are priced at US$1799.95 (€1649.95) and HDMI systems are priced at $1299.95 (€1199.95). Additional SDI receivers are US$949.95 (€889.95) and HDMI receivers are US$749.95 (€699.95).

This is a transmitter and receiver that was designed to make the hard wired iris control from Preston into a wireless system. The unit for sale includes the (hard wired) iris control hand unit from Preston, the cradle that connects the iris control to the transmitter and battery, the receiver, and a Heden M26VE motor. Sale also includes (motor and power) cables, battery for the transmitter, and a battery charger. (additional blank iris disk included) This unit (receiver) is wired the same as the Preston and so will drive a Preston motor with the standard Preston cable. I used this system with a Preston 3 motor system. The focus and zoom were plugged into the standard MDR and the Iris was plugged into the small receiver. The design of the cradle allows the hand unit to sit upright without additional brackets. This unit can be used to drive any of the gears of the lens - so it could also be used as a remote focus device. ****Update**** Some people have asked if I would sell it without the motor. Yes - willing to sell without the motor. PM me if you are interested.

Made me giggle, anyways. Move over Bartek!

Boxx TV’s Meridian is Behind the Scenes on Oscar®-Nominated Films LOS ANGELES, February 20, 2013 — Three of this year’s Academy Award®-nominated films chose Boxx TV’s Meridian Wireless Microwave Broadcast System for reliable, 4:2:2 uncompressed video with zero delay. The Meridian was the system of choice for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, Sam Mendes’ Skyfall and Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, capping a busy year for the company headquartered in the UK, along with its reseller Boxx Communications in Los Angeles. “We are extremely proud that our technology contributed to the amazing stories told in these Oscar®-nominated films,” says Scott Walker, co-founder of Boxx TV. “We understand that everything is important during production. Image quality, reliability, and zero delay are all crucial. The Meridian provides high-image quality consistently, and is highly reliable whether you are shooting in high-desert heat on the hunt for Bin Laden, moving through a free-wheeling Tarantino project, or following the action of a legend like Bond. Working with the production teams of these incredibly accomplished films was an honor and a great experience.” For those situations that demand high-quality, zero-delay HD and SD live transmission, the Meridian is an affordable alternative to traditional COFDM systems with unprecedented success. The Meridian system uses license-exempt channels. Django Unchained’s five Oscar® nods include Best Picture and Best Cinematography, for last year’s Oscar® winner, Robert Richardson, ASC. There were two Boxx Meridian systems and handheld receivers used during the production of the multi-nominated Tarantino project. Skyfall grabbed a total of five nominations, including one for Best Cinematography for Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC. The production used five zero-delay Meridian systems, simultaneously, in conjunction with ALEXA cameras supplied by ARRI Media UK. Also earning five Oscar® nominations, Zero Dark Thirty used three systems and handheld receivers. The film’s Oscar® nods include one for Best Picture. Their customers’ nominations come on the heels of one of the company’s busiest years on record. “It is great to be associated with Oscar®-nominated projects and we’re thrilled,” adds Mark Walker, owner of Boxx Communications. “That said, we worked on many great projects last year, from feature films, to live coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, to episodic television shows such as Revenge and Modern Family; and on breaking news stories on stations such KABC,KNBC and KTLA. We are dedicated to making sure that our clients have great images, no delay, and an incomparable ease of use every time.” For more information, visit www.boxx.tv or www.boxxusa.com
