- In this video
I'm talking about a wireless video transmitter
that sends a signal directly to your phone.
(logo booms)
So today we're talking about the Accsoon CineEye
which is a wireless video transmitter.
This sends a signal directly to your phone
so you don't need a receiver,
you just need a phone and this guy
and you have a wireless video transmission system.
Guys if you're new here to this channel
my name is Jeven Dovey, I do filmmaking tutorials,
I do product reviews like this.
So make sure you guys hit that subscribe button
if you want to see more reviews,
tutorials and stuff like that.
So this is not a newer company
Accsoon has been around for a little while now.
They've made a bunch of different gimbals.
I've reviewed the A1, the A1-S and now I have the A1-PRO
which I will be reviewing very soon.
It's an awesome gimbal which actually incorporates
the CineEye into the gimbal itself.
So they decided to do a standalone product.
And this is a wireless video transmitter.
I actually got a chance to play with this
while I was at NAB and when I left
they gave me their prototype to test out here in the wild.
So there's a few things I wanna play around with,
I just wanna see how well this works
in terms of latency, in terms of distance, things like that
and just get an overall feel for working with this product
if it's a decent product.
So the CineEye is a HDMI video transmitter
so it has one single HDMI video input.
On the other side you have a USB-C port
which allows you to charge the device.
And then on the bottom you have a 1/4"-20
which allows you to mount it to basically anything.
So I'm just using a little ball head here,
you can run wild with the options that you can use
with this because you can mount it to anything
just using your 1/4"-20 mount.
Now in terms of delay it's got a very low delay,
transmitting a 1080p signal up to 60 frames per second.
Now on paper it says it can go up to 100 meters or 328 feet.
And one of the really cool things
and was something that I'm super excited
about in terms of my professional work
is that this one transmitter can send up to four phones.
So you could have an iPad and a couple of phones
which means that my client and my producer
and my lighting team could all have the video signal
and all be able to look at it
without crowding around one monitor and it's all wireless.
This version has a three-hour battery life.
Also one of the really cool things about this product
is that they've optimized for the heat
so it's never gonna overheat
and it's never gonna get super hot.
And what's cool is they have software setups
so that the CineEye will find a clean channel
before the transmission starts.
And as the distance increases between you and the device
it's going to lower the bitrate in real time
so that you never actually drop the signal.
Now when it comes to wireless video transmitters,
you either have very bulky products
or products that don't work that well.
There hasn't really been something this size
and I think this fills a need for a lot of people.
So if I was to put my gimbal on the edge of a monopod
and do like a big sweeping jib shot,
you can't really see the video
unless you have a cable running down the pole to a monitor
and then you have to carry an extra monitor
so this solves that problem
because you could just have this in your bag
and then be able to use the phone to receive the signal
which is really awesome.
So Rachel came out here to help me test this product.
We're gonna just do some walking.
This says 328 feet I think in terms of distance you can go
before it cuts out the signal
but I really just wanna test that.
I wanna see how far you can go.
There's not a ton of Wi-Fi signals out here
so I should get a pretty clean signal
for a pretty far distance.
So in terms of options on the screen,
you basically have your on button,
you have a grayscale, you have a RGB,
you have your Focus Assist.
You have a false color which I use all the time
when I'm out trying to judge exposure.
You have your histogram, you have zebras
which you can set at any level that you want.
What's really cool is you have the ability
to add LUTs directly into your phone
and then apply them here.
So if your shooting in Log, you can have a series of LUTs
and then use them to monitor
when you're recording your footage.
Now when you go into More, you have a few other options,
you have a bunch of guides.
You have the Center Mark, you have the Safe Marker,
you have your Ratio Marker.
You can have your Marker Color, your Marker Width.
Also you have a Zoom In on the image
so you can zoom up to four times.
Now when I was at NAB I was actually testing this as well
and we were in a place with tons of Wi-Fi signals
bumping around everywhere.
And when we were in that space,
we were able to walk pretty far
and still have a very clean image.
Now out here where there is less Wi-Fi signals
you can definitely walk a lot farther.
And I don't think I would ever be using this product
in a way where I would be 300 feet away.
So let's talk about the CineEye
and my experience working with it.
So far this thing works very well.
When you're using your phone
you can monitor your footage off of this
and you have no issues in terms of delay.
There's no crazy delay so it's not gonna cause issues
when you're out in the field and you're working with it.
In terms of ease of use, once in a while
the CineEye won't pop up with the Wi-Fi
and I just turn off the device, turn it back on
and then it will pop up no problem.
As soon as you're connected to the CineEye Wi-Fi
you just go into the app
and then it will start working right away.
So there's no problems once you can see the Wi-Fi signal.
In terms of distance like you saw here
I was walking pretty far.
Anytime I got my body in front of the device
or anytime that I got behind a tree or something like that,
that's when the signal cut out.
But for anybody who needs a wireless video transmitter
something that is just quick and easy to use
and pop on your camera, this is a no-brainer.
This works very well for its size,
it gives you an awesome signal.
Like I said up to four phones.
And if you're just someone whose out there solo,
it gives you the ability to not have to carry extra gear
and all these long HDMI cables or anything like that
and be able to put your camera in another spot
and monitor the footage.
All right guys, I'll put a link down below
in the description where you guys can check out
more information about the CineEye.
And I'll see you on the next one.
