IBC 2015: Sony PWS-100RX1

Sony also unveiled at this year's IBC its device for receiving streaming video directly from Sony's XDCAM series cameras. The 1U 19" rack server PWS-100RX1, which is capable of receiving signals from multiple cameras at the same time, serves this purpose.

It can stream video in 720p or 1080i resolutions over 4G/LTE or Wi-Fi networks. The device uses Sony's QoS system ensuring recovery of up to 30% of lost data. Sony also guarantees 100% reliability in audio streaming. This means that even if there's a picture failure, you'll definitely hear the audio from Sony cameras. The PWS-100RX1 is equipped with two SDI outputs and provides the ability to record a stream in MP4 or MXF format for archiving or editing purposes.
