SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 16,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- xG® Technology,
Inc. ("xG" or the "Company")
(Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a leading provider of wireless video
solutions to broadcast, law enforcement and defense markets, and
private mobile broadband networks for critical communications,
announced today a collaboration between its IMT business and
Marshall Electronics to offer a full wireless video solution
for live broadcasts and sporting events. Marshall is a recognized
leader in supplying professional cameras and display monitors. The
integrated bundles of IMT's wireless video transmitters and
Marshall's POV cameras will be on display at NAB 2018 (Booths
C6008 and C6508).
The bundles include one of IMT's ultra-miniature wireless video
systems – IMTDragonFly or MicroLite 2 HD
COFDM wireless video transmitter — as well as a Marshall
Mini-Broadcast POV Camera — CV502 (HD-SDI) or CV505
(HD-SDI/HDMI). The bundles will provide quality live
broadcasting solutions for capturing engaging points-of-view for
supported broadcast programing of any kind. The integration
includes full paint control of the Marshall camera, accessed
through the IMTDragonFly and Microlite 2 Web Page interface.
"This collaboration will help IMT achieve a long-range,
professional and effective wireless video and camera control
solution for customers at a competitive price," says John Payne IV, president of IMT USA. "These products work together to provide
an all-encompassing solution for both licensed and unlicensed users
that are looking to capture high-quality and uninterrupted
video."
"Our customers have been utilizing IMT wireless technology with
Marshall cameras for professional sports and other wireless
broadcast applications for many years," says Tod Musgrave, director of cameras at Marshall
Electronics. "It was only logical to collaborate with them to offer
a more complete and integrated wireless solution encompassing the
strengths of our Marshall cameras and the IMT DragonFly and
MicroLite 2 video transmitters."
The IMTDragonFly sets the standard in compact wireless video
technology by delivering completely new and expanded points of view
and perspective. It is available in a range of kits to fit various
applications, including drones, sports, broadcast and body worn
configurations. Each offering caters to the specific needs of the
application. The IMTDragonFly has a compact and lightweight form
factor and features minimized power requirements, making it ideal
for drone and mobile use. It features HD/SD-SDI or optional HDMI
inputs, and delivers up to 50mW of power in a package measuring in
at 1.85 in. x 1.38 in. x .51 in. (50 mm x 35 mm x 13 mm) that
weighs less than 1.2 oz. (34 g), providing long range, reliable HD
video transmission.
The MicroLite 2 provides enhanced performance and video quality,
perfect for broadcast applications where high-quality live
streaming video is needed. The MicroLite 2 transmitter features
HD/SD-SDI and HDMI inputs with COFDM transmission in a small,
lightweight chassis. It delivers up to 200mW of power, providing
long range, reliable HD video transmission.
The Marshall CV502 (HD-SDI) and CV505 (HD-SDI/HDMI) miniature
cameras deliver up to 1920x1080p resolution at 60/59.94/50 frame
rates. With a very low 0.2 lux (color) rating, the cameras capture
accurate, sharp color images even under low-light conditions. The
CV502 ships with an ultra-wide 3.7mm HD lens that is
interchangeable to customize for specific applications. Marshall
also offers a wide assortment of lens options for a
fully-customizable AOV and focal length per camera position within
an installation.
To further cater to unique applications, IMT and Marshall will
continue to offer custom configurations. Package options will
include support for specialized integration enclosures and mounts.
As a reseller and distributor of Marshall cameras and accessories,
IMT recently sold 50 Marshall POV cameras for use on the ADAC GT
Masters series to be used in its specialized racing cars.
IMT-Vislink's reseller in Germany,
SalesCube GmbH, sold the equipment to Bert Blümer - Drahtlose
Kamera Systeme Blümer Systementwicklung GmbH, who will handle the
production.
