Accsoon CineView 2 SDI – First Look at NAB 2024

by Jose PradaApril 19^th, 2024

We visited the Accsoon booth at NAB and talked to Nissy, who explained the features of the new CineView 2 SDI and the improvements over the previous models. 

One week ago, Accsoon announced their new CineView 2 SDI wireless video transmitter, the latest of the CineView series. Among its main features, the new model covers a range of 1500ft/450m (line-of-sight) and offers improved stability and a latency of around 50ms. 

Increased range and less latency

The CineView 2 SDI is the latest addition to the CineView family. With its small and compact size, the new model features a new quad antenna design for better performance (up to 1500ft). The antennas transmit two streams simultaneously that combine in the receiver for a complete image. Accsoon has designed this model for a reliable and stable experience in most environments. The transmitter can send video to up to four different devices, be it dedicated receivers, iPhones, iPads, or Android devices (the CineView 2 SDI has an app for both iOS and Android). The latency is around 50 milliseconds. 

SDI, HDMI, and more connections 

The CineView 2 SDI features an HD-SDI input, an HDMI input, and a loop-through output, while the RX unit has both HD-SDI and HDMI Full HD outputs. The unit can cross-convert SDI-HDMI and transmit video up to 1080p/60. The receiver has a UVC output to connect directly to a computer or other compatible device. We can input the video directly to live-streaming software like OBS Studio.

Power options

Like the previous CineView models, the CineView 2 can be powered with Sony NP-F970 batteries, USB-C, and DC power, also allowing the use of V-Lock batteries.

Price and availability

The CineView 2 SDI can be pre-ordered now for $649 for a transmitter and one receiver set. The unit will be available around June 2024. For more information about Accsoon CineView products, please visit the Accsoon website.
