Live from anywhere.
The need for reliable live video transmission from the field has never been greater β and the tools to deliver it have never been more accessible. Kiloview's wireless and cellular transmission range, combined with BirdDog's NDI-native cameras and Blackmagic's field monitoring and recording tools, gives news teams, sports producers and event broadcasters everything they need to send broadcast-quality video from anywhere a 4G or 5G signal exists.
THE BRIEF
Who this solution is designed for.
For the news team that can't run a fibre, the sports producer covering multiple venues simultaneously, and the event broadcaster working without a truck.
Mobile video transmission has undergone a fundamental shift. What once required satellite uplinks and expensive specialist equipment can now be achieved with a compact bonded cellular device, a robust IP encoder and a standard 4G/5G SIM card. The quality gap between traditional satellite contribution and modern IP transmission has closed to the point where broadcasters across the region are replacing satellite workflows with cellular IP.
Kiloview’s wireless transmission range sits at the heart of this transition in MediaCast’s portfolio. The W300 and W600 series handle HDMI and SDI inputs, bond multiple cellular connections for redundancy and bandwidth, and deliver H.265 or H.264 streams via SRT to a production centre or cloud decoder β with latency of under 100ms. For fixed-location remote production, the same Kiloview encoder range used in OB vans and studios handles the signal chain with equal reliability.
The broader mobile production context adds cameras, recording and monitoring. BirdDog’s compact NDI cameras provide IP-native acquisition for fixed remote positions. Blackmagic’s Video Assist handles on-location monitoring and recording. And Netgear’s compact managed switches provide the IP networking backbone when a portable IP production environment is needed at a venue without existing infrastructure.
Equipment Breakdown
Mobile transmission has four functional layers: wireless transmission, IP encoding/decoding, field production tools and network management. Here’s what we carry for each.
Cellular IP Contribution
Kiloview W300 Wireless Transmitter
Kiloview HDMI input, bonded Wi-Fi and cellular transmission. Ultra-compact for on-camera mounting or ENG bag. H.265 encoding at up to 1080p60 via SRT, RTMP or RTSP. The entry-level field transmitter for news gathering and events.
Kiloview W600 Wireless Transmitter
Kiloview HDMI/SDI input with dual bonded cellular (4G/5G). Higher-bandwidth H.265 encoding for 4K60 transmission. The professional field unit for sports and high-value live events where signal reliability is non-negotiable.
Kiloview E2 + SIM Router combo
Kiloview Alternative approach: fixed E2 encoder with a cellular router for locations where a more permanent field setup is required. Clean separation of encoding and network connectivity.
The Signal Chain
Kiloview N30 SDI Encoder
Kiloview Rackmount NDI/SRT encoder for converting SDI camera feeds to IP for distribution over LAN, WAN or cellular. The standard encoder for remote venue feeds coming back to a production centre.
Kiloview E2-s SDI Encoder
Kiloview Compact SDI encoder for ENG bags and compact field setups. 3G-SDI input to SRT or RTMP over any IP connection.
Kiloview D350 Multi-source Decoder
Kiloview Receives multiple NDI and SRT streams simultaneously and outputs to SDI or HDMI. The receive side at the production centre for feeds from multiple remote locations.
Kiloview Connect Platform
Kiloview Cloud management for all Kiloview field devices. Monitor, configure and troubleshoot encoders from any browser β critical when devices are at inaccessible remote locations.
Remote Acquisition
BirdDog X5 Ultra PTZ
BirdDog NDI HX3 PTZ camera for fixed remote positions β rooftops, high angles, wide establishing shots at venues without requiring an operator. Remotely controlled from the production centre over IP.
BirdDog Maki Ultra
BirdDog Box-style NDI camera for applications requiring a compact form factor with full NDI output β traffic cameras, venue perimeter cameras, press box installations.
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2
Blackmagic Design Primary ENG camera for field crews. SDI output feeds directly to Kiloview encoder for transmission. Multi-format recording for simultaneous file-based and live delivery.
Telycam Explore SE PTZ
Telycam Cost-effective PTZ for fixed remote positions at sports venues, houses of worship and corporate events. HDMI and SDI output for connection to Kiloview encoders.
On-Location Tools
Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR
Blackmagic Design On-location monitor/recorder. Records locally while simultaneously outputting to the Kiloview encoder for transmission. The field journalist's QC and recording tool.
Blackmagic HyperDeck Studio HD Mini
Blackmagic Design Compact rack deck for recording the transmitted signal at the receiving end β capturing everything arriving from the field for archive and safety record purposes.
Blackmagic Video Assist 4K 12G
Blackmagic Design Larger-screen version for directors and camera operators who need a bigger reference display alongside their camera system.
IP Infrastructure on Location
Netgear M4250-8G2XF-PoE+
Netgear Compact 8-port managed switch for portable IP production environments at venues. PoE+ for BirdDog cameras and Kiloview devices. Fits in a production bag or small rack.
Netgear M4250-10G2XF
Netgear 10-port managed switch for slightly larger venue setups β sports events where 4β6 BirdDog cameras need IP connectivity at a remote location.
Reliability in the Field
Kiloview Connect Cloud Management
Kiloview Web-based management for all field Kiloview devices. Configure bandwidth limits, monitor signal health and reboot devices remotely β without a technician on location.
Blackmagic SmartScope Duo 4K
Blackmagic Design Waveform monitoring at the receive end. Technical QC of incoming feeds before they enter the production chain β catching signal issues before they reach air.
Netgear Insight Cloud Management
Netgear Remote management of Netgear switches at field locations β monitor port status, bandwidth utilisation and device health from the production centre.
