HCAM

HEVC 4K UHD Camera Transmitter
HEVC Compression

Single-frame latency

Live Event Coverage

The Vislink HCAM leads the next generationof lightweight and highly portable wirelesssystems designed to capture live footage frombreaking news, entertainment and sporting
events.

Key features

With support for HEVC 4K UHD and HDR, theHCAM wireless camera transmitter delivers
unprecedented image resolution and clarity.
It allows operators freedom of movement tocapture the immersive images that viewers
crave, enabling audiences to get up close andpersonal at the heart of the action.
The HCAM transmitter is fully interoperable with the Vislink
FocalPoint, a wireless camera control system that provides
comprehensive functions for controlling multiple camera andoperator control panel combinations.
HCAM also helps facilitate the transition from OFDM to 5G
technology for live event deployments. By incorporating theoptional HCAM Module 5, a 5G edge device for Vislink HCAM
OFDM systems, users can leverage 5G to drive new creativity
and operational flexibility — while allowing a transition of service
offerings at the pace that is right for them. It also maintains theirability to provide the highest quality video, lowest latency andguaranteed RF robustness.
