Overview
The SWIT CREW-V Wireless Video Transmission System with Dual Sided V-mount is a high-performance wireless video transmission system designed for professional broadcast and cinema applications. Featuring a dual-sided V-mount design, it delivers robust transmission over 1.2 km (4000 ft) line-of-sight using proprietary KUWI 2.0 RF technology, not Wi-Fi. With ultra-low latency, AES-256 encryption, and support for multiple power options, the CREW-V is optimized for demanding multicamera workflows.
Transmission Technology
Engineered with KUWI 2.0 Pro RF technology, the CREW-V system offers a stable and interference-resistant wireless connection within the 5.1–5.9GHz license-free DFS-compliant range. Automatic channel scanning ensures optimal signal clarity during operation.
- Proprietary anti-interference RF
- 5.1–5.9GHz license-free DFS
- Auto channel scan and selection
- 1.2 km line-of-sight distance
Dual V-Mount Design
The CREW-V features a compact dual-sided V-mount design that attaches between the camera and V-mount battery, allowing for simultaneous power supply to both. Pass-through SMBus data pins ensure accurate battery status display on the camera.
Ultra-Low Latency & Video Quality
With consistent 32ms latency and H.265 encoding up to 26.8 Mbps, the CREW-V ensures visually lossless image quality. Its latency performance remains unaffected by environmental interference—ideal for wireless follow focus and synchronized multi-camera production.
Multicast Support
Supports 1 transmitter to up to 4 receivers with no loss in video quality, range, or latency. All Tx and Rx units in the CREW family are fully compatible for seamless multicast setups.
Video Interfaces
Transmitter I/O
- 1× 3G-SDI input
- 1× 3G-SDI loop output
- 1× HDMI input
Receiver I/O
- 2× 3G-SDI outputs
- 1× HDMI output
- 1× USB-C video capture output
All outputs can operate simultaneously, regardless of the input format.
Livestreaming & Monitoring
The receiver's USB-C port supports direct video capture to PC/Mac without drivers. It also allows smart device monitoring via compatible USB camera apps, offering flexible viewing solutions without external monitors.
Display & Configuration
Equipped with a high-brightness 450-nit OLED screen on both Tx and Rx units, the CREW-V offers clear visibility in sunlight and simple navigation via joystick for pairing, channel selection, fan control, and firmware updates.
Camera Data Transmission
Transmits SDI-embedded metadata, timecode, and Start/Stop triggers wirelessly—supporting workflows like DIT livegrading and multi-cam sync without additional cabling.
Encryption & Security
The CREW-V combines KUWI's proprietary RF system with AES-256 encryption to ensure secure transmission, preventing signal interception on closed sets and critical productions.
Powering Options
- Dual-sided V-mount pass-through
- 2-pin LEMO DC input (7–17V)
- USB-C input (Tx: 9V/2A, Rx: 5V/2A)
Production Applications
Ideal for sports broadcasting, film sets, live events, and mobile crews, the CREW-V enhances monitoring flexibility and production reliability while simplifying cable management on location.
