ZERO D I V I S ION | ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE
ZERO DIVISION London-based hire company Zero Division managed to comfortably meet all requirements by providing a system designed from the ground up, to tackle all of the above. Zero Division supplied seven Boxx Atom wireless video transmission systems, a wireless telemetry solution and professional RF engineering services to match. The Steadicam was another element essential to the production and needed to be able to roam around the whole compound freely without signal loss. Such manoeuvrability with simultaneous monitoring and camera control capability required support by a reliable and robust wireless signal. WIRELESS RIGS IN-CAR Many things have already been said about those practical yet very spectacular automobiles, and rightly so. The cars came in a variety of sizes, construction and installation options. Due to the small form factor of Boxx Atom transmitters and their overall simplistic design, the whole wireless rig could be moved from car to car within a
matter of minutes. Furthermore, minimal system configuration meant that, once a rig was moved, all that remained was to manually change the channel by pressing the single button on the transmitter. The operation and performance of this solution proved to be essential to filming a competition comprising many participants working together in real time. All of the above and much more has contributed to a very successful production and a now-viral Saturday Sky One series. Zero Division is extremely proud to be able to say that they took part in the making of this groundbreaking show. Staying at the forefront of wireless video transmission, the company uses only the most reliable and robust solutions and wireless transmission systems – and Boxx TV’s Boxx Atom systems were up to the challenge.
the vehicles needed to handle temperatures of at least 60 ˚ C. Boxx Atom transmitters worked flawlessly throughout even the most protracted filming schedules. Small but essential touches such as the ability to regulate fan cooling speed allowed the Boxx Atom transmitters to deliver over and above what could reasonably be expected of any wireless system. As every team crafted their own unique vehicle, battle car design differences required various individualised fast deployment methods as only a specific number of contestants would battle at the same time. Therefore the configuration needed to be able to move continuously between the vehicles throughout any given day. It was clear that the wireless solution needed to be simple to use and easy to install. This particular set-up could only be classified in one way, mission-critical, multi-camera wireless. In that regard, to make things a tad more challenging, the solution needed to incorporate the ability to operate concurrently for up to seven wireless cameras so that the various feeds could be seen instantly and at the same time.
