ARRI and Vitec have teamed up to expand the ARRI WVS product line, with the latest addition, the ARRI WVR-1s.
The ARRI Wireless Video Receiver WVR-1s is designed primarily to allow focus- pullers and directors to remotely monitor footage as it is being captured. The WVR-1s can be quickly paired with the ARRI WVS transmitter and has an operational range of up to 150 meters/500 feet. The WVR-1s is built to ARRI’s high standards with a robust milled aluminum casing.
To increase handheld flexibility and reduce overall weight, it has integrated antennas, battery adapters for micro batteries, and an extra power out for a monitor.
Sample Setups
Here is a sample setup with four cameras:
Between the camera, stand-alone transmitter, receiver, Starlite ARRI-WVS monitor and extensive range of accessories, any set can be made more efficient with the ARRI Wireless Video System. Up to four receivers (either WVR-1, WVR-1s or Starlite ARRI-WVS) can be used per transmitter and four to six transmitter/receiver groups can be used on the same set.
With the backing of ARRI’s global network of service centers, any downtime will be reduced to a minimum, and as the ARRI WVS is fully certified, operators can be confident they are always in compliance with local transmission regulations.
