NAB NEWS Teradek Announces Suite of iOS Monitoring Tools for the Video Industry


Teradek today announced a series of new products that greatly simplify and enhance the iOS monitoring workflow for cinematographers. From app to access point, Teradek’s Link, Field Monitor, and Serv products rethink the on set monitoring workflow and introduce a unified solution. 

iOS Monitoring for the Entire Crew

The Serv platform brings high definition real-time video monitoring to iPhones and iPads over WiFi. At just 4 frames of delay, every critical member of your crew can view what is being shot without crowding around video village or requiring a heavy director’s monitor kit. Serv and Serv Pro can be mounted on-camera or at video village and offer up to 300ft of range using their built-in WiFi access points. The HDMI only Serv model supports up to 4 iOS devices at one time, while the dual input Serv Pro can stream to more than 8 iOS devices in high definition.

Turning an iPad into a Director’s Monitor

To get the most out of Serv, Teradek developed Field Monitor, an iOS application that gives users unprecedented insight into their live video feeds. With a built-in histogram, false colour, focus peaking, waveform monitor and vectorscope, digging into the details of your video feeds has never been easier. Also included with the app is a frame grab and compare tool, anamorphic de-squeeze, integration with Pomfort LiveGrade (LUTs), and much more. For multi-camera productions, the Field Monitor app can support up to 4 live video feeds from any combination of Serv and Cube devices. Each feed maintains the same 4 frame latency and allows independent use of Field Monitor’s toolset, giving you fine control over the information displayed on each feed.

A WiFi Access Point for the Video World

To connect Serv and Field Monitor with maximum range and reliability, Teradek designed Link, the world’s first high performance 802.11ac WiFi access point built for the video industry. Housed in an aluminum chassis with a variety of clever mounting options, Link fits seamlessly onto DIT carts, light stands, and just about anywhere on set. With a range of up to 1000ft, Link offers plenty of room for users to operate on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands with Teradek encoders, mobile phones, and personal laptops. To keep the system powered in more remote areas, Teradek has included either a V- or Gold-mount battery
adapter. Yet, Link is more than just a simple WiFi access point, it’s also a bonded network router. By aggregating bandwidth from Ethernet and several 3G / 4G / LTE modems, Link allows you to access the Internet from even the most remote locations at reliable connection speeds. Perfect for getting content back to the studio or to a client as soon as a shoot wraps, Link’s bonding capability is the first of its kind for productions on the move. 

Link, Serv, and Field Monitor will be on display at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 24 - 27 in booth: C6025.
