Wireless Video Systems

Shoots across Japan use our Teradek Bolt and Vaxis Storm pairs to cut the cable between camera and village.

The brief might be a Steadicam moving through a packed Shinjuku crosswalk, a drone-adjacent unit on the Hokkaido plains, or a focus puller on a Russian arm chase through Yokohama industrial. We stock 1500ft 4K Bolts, long-range receivers, and multi-camera distribution from Imagica, Tac System, and Nagase Brothers. Sub-1ms latency keeps pullers and operators working in real time.

Each system is set up with your RF plan in mind. Tokyo packs the 5GHz band with broadcast and consumer signals, so channels must be picked with care. Kyoto temple compounds need short-range, high-power pairs. Okinawa salt air calls for sealed antennas and connectors. Hokkaido sub-zero cold punishes cheap cabling, so we ship insulated runs and spare batteries.

We line up frequencies with the sound, communications, and drone teams. Our crew tunes antenna placement on the day and keeps backup TX/RX kits on standby. From a single transmitter to a Shibuya village with six receivers feeding director, agency, and remote-stream stations, we deliver wireless video that holds every frame when the take counts.

The system scales with the production type. A Netflix Japan feature wants 4K Bolts feeding multiple villages with low-latency taps for the focus team. A commercial in Roppongi often needs extra receivers so the agency can watch from a comfortable distance. A doc crew across Hokkaido leans on long-range pairs for spread-out coverage. We pick range, channel count, and resolution to match the day, then keep spare receivers staged for the inevitable extra viewing point.

Rental logistics stay clear. We deliver tuned wireless systems to sets across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, with regional runs to Sapporo or Fukuoka on request. Our English-and-Japanese coordinators keep visiting camera and sound teams briefed at each step. Day rates, weekly rates, and on-set RF techs are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown as its own line. You see the full transmission cost before the gear ships.
