Wireless Camera Control Hire London

The CC-LINK IP is a wireless Ethernet bridge. It creates a transparent network connection between two points in a broadcast environment, carrying standard IP traffic over a 2.4 GHz OFDM wireless link with up to 1 km range and up to 150 Mbps throughput.

Dual LAN ports (RJ45) on both transmitter and receiver connect to cameras, network switches, or any IP-enabled device. Tally signals, remote diagnostics, configuration commands, file transfers - any IP traffic that runs over a wired Ethernet connection runs identically over the CC-LINK IP. The link is transparent at the network level, which means your engineering team needs no reconfiguration of cameras or devices. Plug in, power up, and your camera position is on the production network. Data is encrypted with WPA2 security, and latency sits under 10 ms - fast enough for real-time control and monitoring without any perceptible lag at the operator's end.

For broadcast engineers who need to put camera positions on the production network without pulling Cat5 across a stadium or venue, the CC-LINK IP is the most cost-effective solution in the range. It handles IP data only. If you also need Sony camera control at the same position, the CC-LINK COMBO handles both on one link.

The CC-S700 provides full wireless Sony 700 protocol camera control. Your shader sits at the RCP and operates iris, paint, master black, detail, and all shading functions exactly as they would over a cabled SMPTE or triax return - over a wireless link, at up to 1 km range.

The camera connects via 6-pin LEMO interface. The RCP panel connects via Sony 8-pin remote or RJ45. The CC-S700 carries the complete Sony 700 control protocol using FHSS modulation. Dual-frequency operation across 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz gives your RF coordinator the flexibility to work around congested spectrum. At a football ground or concert arena where 2.4 GHz is saturated with Wi-Fi, streaming devices, and other production wireless systems, dropping the control channel to 900 MHz finds cleaner spectrum with better penetration through stadium concrete and temporary structures. AES encryption protects all shading commands from interception.

This is the right system when your video return is handled by triax or another wireless link and you specifically need wireless Sony 700 shading control. It does not carry IP data. If your camera position needs both Sony control and network access, the CC-LINK COMBO is the more efficient choice.

The CC-LINK COMBO carries both Sony legacy camera control and standard Ethernet IP data on a single 2.4 GHz wireless link. One transmitter on the camera, one receiver at the control room, and both Sony shading commands and IP network traffic travel wirelessly between them simultaneously.

This replaces two separate wireless systems with one. Every camera position that needs both Sony control and IP network access gets both from one CC-LINK COMBO pair at £135/day - significantly less than hiring the CC-LINK IP (£100) and CC-S700 (£125) separately at £225/day combined. Fewer units to rig, fewer batteries to manage, fewer antennas competing for RF spectrum, and fewer potential points of failure on a live broadcast.

Technical specifications match the individual units: up to 1 km range, up to 150 Mbps data throughput, Sony 8-pin remote and RJ45 interfaces, WPA2 encryption, 80-gram form factor, 7.5 to 36V supply.
