SkyDreams AirPaint Wireless Paint-Box System (Sony/Genesis)
This system consists of a transceiver attached to a RCP and a transceiver connected to the camera's remote input, allowing the use of the standard camera manufacturer's Remote Control Panel (RCP-750, RMB-150, etc.) to wirelessly control all of the CCU functionality of the camera.
The system utilizes an advanced data modem at 900MHz with up to a 1-watt output enabling the operator great range of operation (approximately 2 miles). The system works with all Sony cameras and camcorders that use an 8-pin remote connector and the 422 data protocol; any camera that can be controlled by an RMB 150/750 or an RCP 750/920 can be controlled by the AirPaint, including Panavision Genesis Cameras.
In situations where the video shader/operator is in a truck or at a distance from the action, the AirPaint control-side transceiver can be situated up high or closer to the action and connected with the longest Sony RCP cable (330'). In sports or events requiring longer distances, using Cat5 cable with an RCP and AirPaint powered locally allows 422 data to be sent between the RCP and the AirPaint control-side transceiver 2000 feet or more. This allows control-side transceiver placement inside the stadium or wherever its performance is optimized. The camera-side transceiver can be mounted with its Anton Bauer plate or can be situated anywhere on the camera rig. It can receive power either from a battery or from the camera via the 8-pin remote connector.
The AirPaint system has been used for many production applications, from single camera shoots to multiple camera sporting events. It is a great tool for stedi-cam, jib arms, cable cams and aircraft rigs. AirPaint gives you full CCU control as well as start/stop and replay functions for camcorders. With its robust spread spectrum hopping frequency signal, this wireless control system gives you long distance, ultra low lag response, and uninterrupted camera control. Tally is available using the AirPaint with a Sony 1500 and CCU; with the AirPaint connected to the AUX of the RCP, when the CCU tallies, that information is sent wirelessly in the data stream turning on the camera tally.
