VidOvation's high-performance wireless transmission capabilities detangle the need for wires to transmit video and audio from camera to monitor, saving set-up time and money, and allowing for flexible camera maneuvering. On the broadcasting set, during news production, in house of worship streams, and in any environment where video must go from one location to another, crews can now conduct business without tripping over cords.
VidOvation has offered simple yet sophisticated 5GHz RF band frequency transmission with the VidOlink Reacher since 2015, freeing camera operators to move quickly to capture better shot angles on the most demanding sets, and now those options have expanded with the cost effective VidOlink Reacher II family.
The Reacher II has improved both technology and purchasing options so that the cost to deliver broadcast-grade 3G-SDI and HDMI high-definition video signals can be scaled to your specific needs.
With an uncompromised picture quality at very low latency of less than 1 ms and no compression, the Reacher II family can extend signals from 600 to 4200 feet, depending on your needs, now with the option to include intercom and tally functions.
Reacher II 2500 Transmitter and Receiver
Basic VidOlink Reacher II Wireless Video & Audio Systems Without unnecessary bells and whistles, affordable wireless transmission can still be in your budget, even for smaller productions. Opt for a low-cost short range 600 foot system, or boost the distance that your cameraman can maneuver up to 4000 feet.

All models in these professional wireless kits have zero delay in a low-cost wireless video and audio system, up to 1080p60Hz resolution, and the option of either the V-Lock battery or the Anton Bauer battery kit to match the specifications of the camera that will be sending video.

VidOlink Reacher II 4000, with up to 4000 ft Range and Anton Bauer Gold Battery Kit $6430.00
Reacher II Tally Function Inputs
Wireless Video & Audio Kits with Intercom & Tally Functions Professional production sets that require a tally light system to indicate which camera is live can opt for the tally function in the Reacher II 2500 and Reacher II 4200 models. Additionally, these units come equipped with an intercom function for communication between operators.
These professional zero delay wireless video systems still carry up to 1080p60Hz resolution, and have a reach of 2500 feet and 4200 feet, respective to their model numbers. To boost the signal to 4200 feet, the VidOlink Reacher II 4200 adds a high-gain antenna system to boost the range of the 5G frequency.

VidOlink Reacher II 2500 with Intercom & Tally System and V-Lock Battery $7,980.00

VidOlink Reacher II 4200, with Intercom, Tally & High Gain Antenna System, and V-lock Battery $9,170.00
The Quad 4 System The Reacher II Quad professional wireless video system still boasts up to 1080p60Hz resolution, and combines 4 4 MIMO antennas with Beam-forming transmission to focus the signal directly toward the receiver for a stronger, more reliable connection. This system combines 4 smaller form-factor transmitters that send to a single receiver, saving the cost of purchasing multiple separate transmitters so you do not end up with unneeded receivers.
In addition, the Reacher II Quad receiver can transmit a wi-fi signal to nearby mobile devices such as a smartphone or tablet, ensuring that anyone in the crew can view the video feed and stay on the same page with production.
VidOlink Reacher II Quad 4 Transmitter to 1 Receiver and Anton Bauer Gold Kit $11,675.00
VidOlink Reacher II Quad 4 Transmitter to 1 Receiver and V-Lock Battery $10,795.00
Simple Functionality in Wireless Video and Audio The VidOlink Reacher II systems are compatible with the majority of cameras with HDMI or 3G SDI video outputs up to 1080p60Hz.
Lightweight at only half a pound, the transmitter in each system securely sandwiches between the battery and the camera via a V-lock battery type mount, an Anton Bauer mount, or an accessory port on the camera. The video output is routed from camera to transmitter through an HDMI or SDI cord.
On the other end, the receiver connects to a confidence monitor or laptop computer with HDMI or SDI cord, and then the system is paired until the monitor shows the video of the connected camera.
Reacher Receiver Attached to Confidence Monitor
No more laying down and taping thousands of feet of cord, which in itself can be costly. Keep humans safe, and equipment safer with no cords to trip over in busy and intense production environments. Conveniently untether your production with VidOlink Reacher II wireless professional video and audio.
