CC-LINK COMBO Hire
Combined wireless Sony camera control and IP data solution for studios, sports venues, live productions and large broadcast environments.
Quick Answer: The CC-LINK COMBO is available to hire in London from £135/day, carrying Sony camera control and IP data on a single wireless link covering up to 1 km line-of-sight.

THE SHOOT.
Why it exists
Broadcast engineers working outside broadcast have been asking the same question for years: why do camera control and IP data travel on separate wireless systems when one link could carry both? The CC-LINK COMBO answers that question directly. Sony camera-control data and standard Ethernet IP traffic, on one wireless link, from one transmitter-receiver pair.
The practical consequence of that consolidation is significant on any multi-camera outside broadcast. Instead of rigging two separate wireless systems at every camera position - one for Sony control, one for network data - you rig one. One pair of units, one set of cables, one frequency allocation to coordinate with your RF plan, one set of batteries to manage. And at £135/day, it costs less than hiring the CC-LINK IP (£100) and CC-S700 (£125) separately, which would come to £225/day for the same functionality.
How the CC-LINK COMBO works
The CC-LINK COMBO transmitter connects to the camera via Sony 8-pin remote interface and to the production network via dual LAN ports (RJ45). The receiver connects to the RCP panel via Sony 8-pin and to the production network at the control end via its own dual LAN ports. Between transmitter and receiver, the COMBO carries both data streams simultaneously over 2.4 GHz OFDM with up to 150 Mbps aggregate throughput and under 10 ms latency.
The Sony camera-control data travels with full legacy protocol fidelity. Your shader's adjustments - iris, paint, master black, all Sony control parameters - reach the camera and take effect exactly as they would over a cabled connection. The IP data stream runs in parallel, carrying tally, diagnostics, configuration, file transfer, or any other network traffic the camera position needs, completely independently of the control data.
Both streams operate simultaneously without interference or priority between them. The 150 Mbps throughput is sufficient headroom for multiple control and data streams running concurrently, even at camera positions where several devices are connected to the network bridge.

Where it helps
Where It Makes The Difference
The CC-LINK COMBO shows its value most clearly on large multi-camera outside broadcasts where every camera position needs both Sony control and network access. At a stadium sports event with 12 camera positions, each position would otherwise require two separate wireless systems. The CC-LINK COMBO replaces those 24 units with 12, reducing rigging complexity, power consumption, and RF interference from the wireless systems themselves.
For productions running in environments where RF spectrum is already under pressure from venue Wi-Fi, broadcast comms, and other production wireless systems, reducing the number of active wireless links per camera position is a practical benefit that goes beyond cost.
The 80-gram form factor means the COMBO adds nothing meaningful to a camera rig. WPA2 encryption protects all traffic on the link. The 7.5 to 36V supply range integrates with any broadcast power source.
Getting started
How WaveHire Handles Your Hire
Every CC-LINK COMBO is tested by a technician across both data paths before dispatch. We verify Sony protocol handshake and shading response, test IP throughput and network transparency, and confirm wireless stability at rated range. The unit ships with all cables and antennas. You collect from our London facility with same-day collection available, or we arrange delivery.
If your production only needs Sony control or IP data - not both - the CC-S700 and CC-LINK IP handle each function individually at lower daily rates. For wireless HD video alongside control and data, see our Broadcast Live range, or contact our team to talk through your build.
Questions
FAQs - CC-LINK COMBO
The CC-LINK COMBO carries both Sony camera-control data and IP network traffic on a single wireless link from £135/day. Hiring the CC-LINK IP (£100) and CC-S700 (£125) separately achieves the same functionality but requires two independent wireless systems at £225/day combined, plus twice the rigging time, batteries, and frequency allocations.
The CC-LINK COMBO supports Sony legacy camera-control protocols via Sony 8-pin remote interface. This covers shading, paint, iris, and all other Sony control parameters for Sony broadcast cameras using the legacy control standard.
Yes. The dual LAN ports carry standard Ethernet traffic. Any IP-based data that would work over a wired connection works over the CC-LINK COMBO, including tally, diagnostics, remote configuration, file transfer, and general network access at the camera position.
Both the Sony camera-control data and IP network traffic travel over the same 2.4 GHz OFDM wireless link simultaneously. The system provides up to 150 Mbps aggregate throughput, which is sufficient for both streams running concurrently without interference or prioritisation issues between them.
Yes. Each camera position requires one CC-LINK COMBO transmitter-receiver pair. For a 12-camera OB with Sony cameras, 12 COMBO pairs replace the 24 units that would otherwise be needed with separate systems, reducing rigging complexity and RF spectrum usage significantly.
No. The CC-LINK COMBO operates on 2.4 GHz only. The 900 MHz option is specific to the CC-S700. If your production requires 900 MHz for Sony control in a heavily congested RF environment, the CC-S700 is the appropriate system for the camera-control function.
