The Bit Part bitbox is claimed to offer ultra-long ranges interference-free camera control to help cinematographers, DITs, and ACs deliver better quality footage more efficiently.
bitbox was designed to be used when filming in challenging conditions over large distances. Bitbox’s 915 MHz system can remotely control filters, camera settings, live color grading and more in virtually any environment. It features a simple push-button interface and sub-five second boot-up time, allowing camera technicians to remotely manage their shots from thousands of feet away. bitbox is claimed to do all this without the challenges of spectrum interference, the need for mesh systems, or the need for expensive and complicated DIY solutions.
bitbox works by leveraging existing networks and it can operate seamlessly by mimicking the functionality of plugging into a switch for both connected devices, providing a uniform experience at each end of the connection with zero wireless configuration.
bitbox uses your existing network with no additional hassle. Plug it directly into a tablet or camera with USB-C Ethernet support, there is no dongle required.
Crews can then simply set their camera’s IP to match their existing network setup. bitbox can be deployed across a wide range of cameras and accessories from brands including Sony, Arri, RED and Vision Research (makers of Phantom).
