- This is the Accsoon CineEye 2s.
It is a wireless video transmitter
That's just simple and easy to use.
Now, this video is sponsored by Accsoon
so it can't be considered a review.
However, I'm not going to promote products on my page
that I personally don't think are useful.
I've had this product for a little while now
and it's something that I've integrated
into my filmmaking workflow
And when Accsoon reached out
and they wanted to do a video around it,
I thought it'd be great
because I think it's an awesome product.
Basically what this does is sends a wireless video signal
from my camera when it's plugged in
or any HTMI source or SDI source
And it goes to any device like a tablet or a phone.
So my iPad or my smartphone.
And before I continue with more details around this product,
let me just hook this up
And we're going to do a little latency test
and distance test as I'm walking and talking
and telling you more about the product.
(upbeat music)
So connecting the CineEye 2s is super simple.
You just hook into the WiFi that the CineEye generates,
open up the app and you start seeing the image right away.
So one thing that's great with the app is
I can also hit record and start recording on the app itself.
So now we're recording two cameras and the screen.
But with this device you can hook up
to four different devices to view the wireless signal.
So I could have my iPad,
I could have a few iPhones
and you can even have Android devices as well.
So any tablet or phone where you can download
the Accsoon app will allow you to actually view
what you're seeing through the transmitter.
Now, this also has a range of 500 feet or 150 meters,
which is a pretty good distance
for such a small compact system.
Now, the CineEye 2s has an HTMI port and an SDI port
and it transmits a signal that's 10 ADP
up to 60 frames per second.
So the system also has an automatic channel selection
so that if the signal is bad,
it's going to automatically jump to a different channel
and be able to clean up that signal
and depending on the situation that you're in,
you can set it to be in a faster speed
so that you're getting more of a clean signal
or a higher quality
so you're getting a better looking footage
from the signal going from the transmitter to the receiver.
So not only does it free you up
from having to be tethered at all times
but having multiple monitors
allows anybody on set to be able to log in
and be able to start seeing the image right away.
So on a lot of our productions, Rachel,
who produces our videos, she will have one monitor
but then also our makeup artist always wants to see
how our talent looks on set.
So giving them a phone or letting them just use their phone
and download the Accsoon app,
allows them to jump in and see what's going on.
Also, when I'm on set, I use my phone
and I walk around and I can see lighting
without having to run back to my camera.
That is a huge benefit
of having a wireless video transmitter.
I can just look at this and tweak lighting on set,
walking all around the studio,
and I don't have to keep running back to camera
to make sure that the tweak I made looks good,
just makes the whole workflow super easy.
Now, the second product that I have from Accsoon
is the power cage.
And that's kind of casing that goes around my iPad here.
Now this has quarter 20 mounts all around it,
so you can mount it to whatever you need it to,
but the huge benefit of using this power cage
is that on the back,
there's a place for typical L series Sony batteries.
So when you have an L series battery plugged in here,
basically it's going to be continually charging the iPad.
So there's no chance of your iPad or tablet dying
throughout the day,
both the power cage and the CineEye 2s
use the standard L series batteries.
So I just have to have a few of those batteries on set
and I never have to worry about turning things off.
So my iPad stays on the entire day
and I just switch out the battery in the back.
Even if the battery dies on the power cage,
I still have a full charge on my iPad
until the iPad's gonna die.
So it's an easy, hot swappable device.
Now for the CineEye 2s I'll either use
the L series batteries when I'm on my gimbal
and I'm trying to be more free,
but when I'm on my FX6, I use a D-tap battery
that powers both the camera and the Accsoon CineEye
so I only have to worry about changing out
one battery throughout the day.
Now, Accsoon developed an app
that makes the whole wireless monitoring super easy.
You're going to find a lot of the tools
that you'll find on professional grade monitors
but it's all just in this app.
So I'm just going to go through some of the ones
that I use on a daily basis.
And some of the ones that I think
make this a really powerful tool to use.
So you have things like your wave forms and your histogram
and they just pop up on screen.
You can do focus peaking to see what is in focus.
And then if you want to see if you have critical focus,
you could just pinch on the screen
and zoom in and make sure that everything is in focus.
You also have things like your zebras and your false colors,
so you can make sure that things are exposed properly.
As you can see, there's some areas there,
that's all overexposed but my face, see the gray,
means I'm exposed properly.
So I use false colors for pretty much
everything that I shoot.
And then also you have all of your guides.
So if you're shooting in a different format than 16 by nine,
you can change your guide.
And this is something that I used a lot recently
when I was doing a lot of vertical content.
And then also, if you're using anamorphic lenses,
then you can desqueeze them on the monitor.
- [Jaylen] Hi dada.
- Hold on one second, hi, Jaylen, come here.
Can you say hi to the camera?
Cool.
And then also you can record the screen.
So if you're using like the high quality transmission,
you're going to be getting
a good shot just here on the screen,
and you can record in the lower right-hand corner
and also you can go live.
So if you want to start streaming live,
you can do it directly from this app
using a wireless video transmitter on your camera,
going to the app and sending it out to the world.
So you can basically set up your live set up anywhere
and it makes it super easy.
Now the 2S is a great product but Accsoon
also has a few different other products in their lineup.
So if you only really need to have
one monitor or two monitors and you want a smaller device,
will they have a smaller version of the CineEye,
it's the Air, they also have a version of the two,
which has a HD loop through,
so if you don't need that SDI
and you want the ability to output to a monitor as well,
then you can get the version with the loop through
and then they also have a Pro version,
which gives you much longer distance, less latency
and it's just made for more of a professional setting.
However, for my productions,
what I've found is the 2S works great
and having both the HTMI and the SDI is super powerful
because I'm using both my A7s Mark III and an FX6,
depending on the production I'm working on.
So this is definitely a great product
to have multiple monitors on set and make it super simple.
I'll include links down below into the description,
to all the wireless transmitters that Accsoon makes
and also a link to this power cage
because this is a super useful tool
when you wanna keep your iPad charged the entire day.
And next, I highly suggest to check out this video here.
It's going to go through some tips
on how you can film better looking videos.
I'll see you over there.
