Accsoon has announced a new CineEye 2S Pro 1TX and 2RX bundle for $899 USD. If you are not familiar with CineEye 2S Pro wireless video system, it is a single transmitter that can send a signal to multiple receivers simultaneously.
The new kit features the same transmitter and receiver found in the standard 1TX 1RX kit. In addition to being able to transmit to the dedicated receivers, you can also transmit HD video to up to 4 iOS or Android smartphones or tablets. This works by using the free Accsoon Go App which allows you to monitor your image and gain a full toolset for picture analysis on-screen. You can even stream the output to popular video platforms to reach audiences or clients live.
A single CineEye 2S Pro transmitter can send video simultaneously to up to 4 different receivers or compatible devices, while a single CineEye 2S Pro transmitter can send video simultaneously to up to 4 different receivers or compatible devices.
The CineEye 2S Pro system has the following inputs and outputs:
A lot of people may not remember, but Accsoon was the first company to popularise 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz video transmission when they unveiled the original CineEye at NAB 2019.
I have previously reviewed the CineEye 2S Pro on the site and you can see that review here. From my review here is what I concluded:
The Accsoon CineEye 2S Pro is well built, easy to set up and use, and has a great operating range. The app is reasonably good but there is certainly room for improvement. The boot-up time is a bit slow and you need to be aware of that. However, in saying that, most wireless systems don’t have particularly fast start-up times.
As far as image delay goes it is pretty good. You need to clearly know that this system is not going to provide you with latency-free images. The results you are going to get will depend greatly on the camera you are using and whether you are using HDMI or SDI.
In saying all of this, if you are talking about any app-based wireless streaming, they are all are going to have some sort of image delay. However, the Accsoon has the lowest latency of any of these types of systems I have tested.
I can’t find this deal listed on B&H yet, but I will update the article once it does go up.
