AB512 – 5th generation featuring Revolutionary 7 msec Delay Link and 3 KM / 2 Miles range.

ABonAir’s AB512™ systems deliver video in an unexpected 7 msec delay without compromising ABonAir’s reputation for superior video quality. In addition to the 7mSec delay, the AB500™ product family includes a proven H.264 CODEC that was explicitly designed to reduce latency and increase picture quality in wireless video systems. The range increased to a fantastic 3 KM or 2 Miles by CODEC-Wireless optimization. The system features an automatic RF spectrum analyzer which automatically selects and hop to the best RF channel without dropping a single bit.  The manual channel selection option is ideal for frequency coordination. Based on RF link conditions the system features Adaptive Modulation and Adaptive Bitrate.

NFL Team Chooses VidOvation and ABonAir to Overhaul Its Stadium’s Wireless Camera Coverage

LAKE FOREST, Calif. — May 7, 2019 — VidOvation today announced that an NFL team has deployed the ABonAir AB512™ wireless camera system with integrated camera control, paint, and intercom to transmit signals with great reliability and flexibility within its stadium during NFL broadcasts.

“Reliable and low-latency wireless is critical when sending live in-house video feeds to the big screen, yet it can be very difficult to achieve in a stadium filled with people. The ABonAir AB512 is the only system that not only succeeds but excels in this challenging application and environment,” said Jim Jachetta, executive vice president and chief technology officer at VidOvation. “The AB512 system feeds live, extremely low-latency video to the in-house production workflow — seven milliseconds instead of 30 to 90. The AB512 is a great choice for sports venues because it provides superior wireless performance and the industry’s best video quality at a significantly lower cost than comparable systems.” (Click to read more)

AB512 –  ABonAir Best Wireless Video Link

The most comprehensive, feature-rich solution with all upgrade option.

ABonAir’s AB512™ wireless video system enables camera teams to transmit video directly from cameras to media centers or OB trucks wirelessly. Built on a bi-directional radio channel between transmitter and receiver, ABonAir’s systems acknowledge the correct acceptance of each group of pixels, thus provides exceptionally robust and reliable transmission.  The AB512™ supports ABonAir’s Fiber Coverage Extension (FCE), which enables connection of a single receiver to multiple FCEs in various venue locations (e.g. Horse Race Track – racetrack, stables and the winning circle) or even on completely separate sites (e.g. football stadium, basketball arena and swimming pool) all via fiber cables with unlimited range.


7 msec Delay (subframe delay)

For live event coverage & multi-camera production

Low delay enables the production of multi-camera and live show without worrying about the delay caused by the simultaneous operation of different cameras or lip sync.

1U or Portable Receiver for maximum flexibility

For fixed setups or a temporary production

Until a few years ago, only large networks could use wireless equipment because it required purchasing expensive frequency licenses from the regulator. In recent years, however, governments and regulators around the world provide unlicensed frequencies for public use for any purpose – including video transmission – allowing even smaller productions to use wireless links easily and free of charge. To answer this demand, manufacturers started to develop unlicensed solutions. Unlicensed systems’ volume grew and drove cost down, motivating big networks also to use them even though they own frequencies.

High-picture quality (+52db PSNR) with new revolutionary CODEC technology

New ground-breaking CODEC by ABonAir enables an accurate frame encoding at high speeds and excellent picture quality.

Full resolution support to 1080p60, 1080i, 720p, NTSC, PAL formats and others.To be used with any camera anywhere in any production.

As an international company, ABonAir’s systems support all bit rates and formats so the system can be used at any production all over the glove with any camera type. The system support frame rates of: 1080p60, 1080i60, 1080p59.94, 1080p50, 1080PsF23.98, 1080PsF23.98, 720p60, 720p59.94, 720p50 and many others.

Single-Zone & Multi-Zone Fiber Coverage Extender (FCE) support

The AB512™ supports ABonAir’s Fiber Coverage Extension (FCE), which enables connection of a single receiver to multiple FCEs in various venue locations (e.g. Horse Race Track – racetrack, stables and the winning circle) or even on completely separate sites (e.g. football stadium, basketball arena and swimming pool) all via fiber cables with unlimited range.

CCU  supports Sony, Panasonic, Ikegami, Grass Valley & Hitachi Camera Control Units (CCU/RCP)

Yes, The AB512™ unique Data port technology enables it to support all the major camera brand manufacturers CCU transparently over the wireless and also over the FCE.

Intercom integrated intercom & IFB using the same RF channel

ABonAir’s system is the only one supporting integrated Intercom for communication between the cameraman and the director on the same RF channel as the video content. ABonAir’s system does not require an additional RF channel allocation for the Intercom or additional equipment support. This reduces cost, setup time and frequency usage.

Wide coverage distance up to 3km/2miles per zone

Optimization of wireless and video requirements and careful radio design combined with advanced MIMO technology enable ABonAir engineers to extend the system range up to full 3 Km/2miles in clear line of site. In drone application with clear line of sight, range can be extended to 6Km/2miles.

Bi-Directional radio with per pixel acknowledgment

In uni-directional links, the transmitter sends video content to the receiver without receiving any feedback. In bi-directional links, both transmitter and receiver can send and receive data and control information: a packet acknowledgment mechanism identifies errors and quickly fixes them (by re-transmitting the corrupted data), before the frame is presented. This enables bi-directional solutions to assure that all the data is well received without errors hence increase picture quality.

PTZ support  for remote camera operation

ABonAir system can control any PTZ controlled Camera for remote installation of a camera where wire connection is not possible, for Fix or Mobile installation.

Gold mount or V-lock battery mount Suitable for any production

As an international company, ABonAir’s systems support both battery type to enable any production and any camera use.
