Vislink launches Cliq, an HEVC RF transmitter compatible with UHD workflows

Designed for high-quality, low-latency video contribution applications for live production environments, the new Cliq wireless video transmitter from Vislink It is presented to meet the most pressing needs of UHD environments with very small dimensions.

Cliq offers broadcasters a capable small and lightweight transmitter compatible with a wide range of broadcast formats, including 12G-SDI para 4K UHD hasta 50/60p, or dual inputs 3G-SDI for HD workflows. Through coding HEVC (H.265) with support for formats 10 bits 4:2:2 y HDR, like HLG and S-Log, the transmitter enables high image quality while making efficient use of the spectrum RF available.

The solution, now available through Vislink's global sales network, benefits from streaming COFDM. Combined with support for multiple modulation standards and bandwidths, it allows the new solution to adapt to a wide variety of production scenarios: from large outdoor broadcasts, to strictly controlled RF environments.

With dimensions of just over 100 mm in length and designed for low power consumption, Cliq has been designed for mounting on small, lightweight cameras as well as in wearable, body-worn, vehicle-mounted and aerial cameras, including drones. Your transmitter offers a wide RF tuning range (approximately 1.35 – 7.8 GHz, subject to license), with configuration managed through an intuitive web interface over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, reducing field configuration time.

Cliq supports industry-standard encryption options, including AES-128 y AES-256, as well as the modes ONLY. Likewise, it is compatible with Vislink's existing RF receivers and IP-based infrastructure, allowing it to be introduced into already established systems without significant changes to the workflow.

To Craig Hallas, director of product management at Vislink, Cliq is defined as a “practical evolution” of its range of RF equipment, focused on “predictable performance, image quality and ease of deployment in demanding live environments.” Paradise Kotecha, senior vice president of global sales and support, puts it in similar terms: “It's about consistent performance, flexibility across all frequencies and formats, and easy integration into live broadcast operations with existing workflows.”
