Teradek's Wireless video encoder hopes to change the future of live news video

I’m passing through Los Angeles on the way to Peru for an assignment. Yesterday I spent the day at a meetup at Birns and Sawyer’s store in Hollywood organised by Jared from Cinema5D. Also present were the guys from Teradek who I had a chance to speak to about the new Cube. They demonstrated the new little encoder box for sending wireless video direct from a DSLR’s HDMI port. The Cube broadcasts HD video over WiFi and can speak with any IP video network, including a 4G router. Check out the video.
