Sony CBKWA100/IFU Mobile Network 3G/4G/LTE/Wireless LAN Adapter for XDCAM

The Sony CBKWA100/IFU Adapter connects directly to a camera and allows XAVC proxy files to be created and then saved on an SD card in the adapter. Then the adapter is able to upload the proxy content and the original high-resolution content via 3G/4G/LTE/Wireless LAN to a broadcast station, on premise server or to a cloud environment. By supporting Wi-Fi connectivity, the CBK-WA100 allows tablets or smartphones to interact with it and control it via Sony's Content Browser Mobile application. This connectivity for xDCAM camcorders allows users on their mobile device to remotely control the camera, logging metadata on set and reviewing content without having to connect a monitor to the camcorder.

For wireless transmission, 3G/4G/LTE/Wireless LAN dongles are necessary. For Wireless LAN dongle, Sony's "IFU-WLM3", 2.4GHz USB dongle is supplied. As for the Modem dongle, recommended model differs country by country depending on carrier.

Save Time and Cost
Users can transmit proxy files via Wi-Fi/3G/4G/LTE from field locations immediately after shooting. This saves considerable time and cost of content delivery, especially when the task is time critical. Also, if the camcorder is not able to create proxy data - the wireless adapter can create a proxy file which is compatible with most general viewer applications. In addition, high-resolution files can be transferred using the USB connection.

Simple Installation
It's easy to install the adapter to Sony's existing camcorders and decks using BNC and DC power cables. When the wireless adapter is connected to camcorders/decks using a USB cable, users can enjoy the full features of the adapter such as high resolution file transmission, basic remote camera control, wireless adapter status indication on the viewfinder and more.
