Streaming & Compatibility
The USB-C port enables direct connection to a PC or Mac for livestreaming in 1080p50/60 quality with driver-free setup. Compatible with a range of ENG and cine cameras for flexible use in the field.
Display & Controls
Both Tx and Rx feature high-bright 450-nit OLED displays readable in sunlight. A joystick allows intuitive menu navigation and adjustments such as pairing, fan control, channel switching, and firmware upgrades.
Metadata & Timecode
Supports transmission of SDI-embedded metadata and timecode trigger signals, allowing for real-time live grading and accurate start/stop sync with cine camera systems.
Mounting & Power
The transmitter features a dual-sided V-mount design, allowing it to sandwich between the camera and V-mount battery. SMBus passthrough ensures camera can read digital battery data.
Applications
Engineered for high-end video workflows including live sports, cinema sets, and event production, the CREW-V MAX offers rock-solid RF transmission, professional-grade encryption, and multicast flexibility for up to 4 receivers.
