ARIES Digital Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver System

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on October 29, 2015):

I bought this product through Amazon for use with an Epic X camera that has an HDMI port. That port works great as a 1080p monitor-out when teamed with the Aries wireless transmitter. So far I have only used the product to act as a transmitter of camera picture to a Dell 23 inch monitor which attaches to the receiver, also via HDMI.

I had to do some jury-rigging to get power to the transmitter but was able to accomplish this using a 12000 ma power bank with the right cable to plug in to the mini, micro... or whatever the specialty USB port is called that's on the transmitter. Same is necessary for the receiver unless it is close to a wall outlet.

I'll be doing a two camera shoot in about two weeks and plan to set one of them up as somewhat of an unattended robot. Using the nyrius pro digital I plan to monitor the B cam, being locked off, while operating the A cam as a mobile camera. Haven't tested yet but I think I should be able to connect to my tablet and monitor the B camera that way. With a direct remote connection, I can then turn record on or off as I see fit in order to save the media space that is utilized by the high data rate of the Ultra-high rez of the Epic camera.

Testing so far has gone well while I do notice the receiver and the transmitter seem to get pretty warm. I'm testing in a non-air conditioned environment during the middle of summer in West Texas, so I'm guessing this won't be an issue since there were none during the test. I've only done short distance use so far so I cannot attest to the 160 foot line-of-sight range advertised.

After I use this one for awhile and am satisfied the unit is solid, I may purchase another one for use with the other camera as connections to director's monitors on movie sets.
