PROFILES
In 2022, 3G Wireless has added 12G / 4K enhancements to our current product line of RF Cameras, On-Board Camera Systems, NFL / CFB Pylons, Bike Racing, Helicopter Cameras, and specialty POV cameras. We also undertook many new challenging events this year such as Red Bull’s extreme Plane Swap stunt, the Maryland Cycling Classic, and the USFL inaugural season. 3G Wireless is also excited to be partnering with NHRA / FOX for the broadcast of the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series to deliver never-before-seen On-Board angles and crystal clear talent mics. Specifically, for the USFL we developed RF packages to deliver seamless HFR and HDR video transmission for steadi-cams, pylons, and handheld RF cams. 3G Wireless has positioned themselves to keep pushing the RF limits for live sports broadcast.
AIR has had a great 2022! We debuted the AIR One fully integrated remote production platform at NAB, where we were the first start-up to win their Technology Innovation Award, and also took home Product of the Year (Remote Production). In July, AIR took part in Turner Sports’ innovation day at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where we got to show off our shallow depth of field imaging and our easy remote control camera capabilities. See our website for highlights from field trials with PGA, Major League Rugby, and CompNet Jiu Jitsu Tournament. AIR One ships in Q4 2022 and includes robotic head, 4K cinematic camera with interchangeable lens, iPad with smart control app, connectivity accessories, high-impact carry case, and three-month subscription to our cloud platform. The platform can typically save 50% or more on live remote production costs.
With our VPCR (Virtual Production Control Room), ASG makes it easy to replicate live production workflows in the cloud. Creative teams can produce and edit programming from any location. With the VPCR, you can produce real-time news, sports, esports, any live event programming — with or without a physical control room or production truck. The VPCR’s collaborative ecosystem supports a choice of production tools, so you’re never limited to one proprietary software solution. Structured in a VPC (virtual private cloud), its infrastructure is provisioned to create real-time, network-based control. Camera feeds, videoconferencing platforms, and other IP-based contribution sources are admitted into the VPC, converted to network streams, and routed to the switcher using a cloud-based production router .
