Wireless video monitoring solution makers Paralinx just announced their 2nd generation Paralinx Tomahawk transmitters. The compact Tomahawk 2 system has a wide coverage range of 2,000 feet (around 600 meters) and can maintain a latency of less than 1 ms, which is more than impressive. The Tomahawk 2 is the latest long-range wireless HD video transmitter system from Paralinx, which are well known for their affordable and very compact wireless monitoring solutions such as the Paralinx Ace. The Tomahawk 2 system is comprised of a transmitter and a receiver and both feature 2-Pin power connectors. The T2 transmitter features a wide 6-28 volt input range, while the receiver has 7-17V input, allowing users to power the system from a variety of existing options. To ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility with camera equipment on set and in the field, the Tomahawk 2 features both 3G-SDI input (with loop-out) & HDMI input on the transmitter, and a 3G-SDI output on the receiver. The Tomahawk 2 can transmit up to 1920 x 1080 at 60fps in 4:2:2 and is capable of sending video to up to 4 receivers simultaneously. The transmitter weighs only around 208 grams without the antennas, while the receiver weighs only 50 grams more. Paralinx Tomahawk 2 Features Summary
