Meet the Accsoon CineView Master 4K - Wireless 4K 60P video, 25ms latency and MFi-cabled iPad and iPhone monitoring

Amsterdam, Netherlands, 10 September, 2024: The breakthrough Accsoon CineView Master 4K wireless system is all about innovation. With wireless 4K 60P video, 25ms latency, High-Performance A/V Processor with 8K capabilities, HDMI, HD-SDI and MFi video, it offers best-in-class performance and includes a series of world firsts:

- The first Tri-Band Wireless Video System (6GHz, 5GHz and 2.4GHz) using Accsoon’s new transmission protocol and patented transmission technology for a strong and stable connection.

- The first 4K 60P Wi-Fi based video transmission system. Extended range allows operation up to 2.5 kilometers/1.5 miles away. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is supported.

- The first Wi-Fi video transmission system with less than 25ms latency - breaking the 30ms latency barrier.

- The first wireless system with the ability to add a cabled iPad or iPhone for monitoring at the same time as sending wireless video.

With MFi video, the CineView Master 4K uses Accsoon’s innovative SeeMo technology to access professional monitoring and streaming via cable from the transmitter (TX) unit. Importantly this also opens up camera-to-cloud connectivity with Frame.io. Quickly share and distribute 4K video while you shoot, or record footage to quickly review.

The first in a new generation of Accsoon systems, using a brand new High-Performance A/V Processor with 8K capabilities. This superfast new platform offers a massive 400% increase in processing capabilities. It is so powerful that the chipset has the future capability to process 8K video (the CineView Master is a 4K only product). The CineView Master 4K also uses the new Accsoon RTMS 4.0 proprietary protocol for its transmission which is even more robust and better optimised than before.

The physical design of the CineView Master 4K TX and RX is also new with a focus on high efficiency, intelligent heat dissipation and greater modularity. The transmitter has HD-SDI and 4K HDMI 2.0 inputs, plus a HDMI 2.0 output for 4K loop out. The receiver has both 4K HDMI and HD-SDI outputs. Both TX and RX can be powered using NP-F type batteries or via DC barrel connector.

As with other CineView models, a single TX can transmit wirelessly to up to 4 units or devices at the same time – whether that be CineView Master 4K RX units, iOS or Android devices, or a combination. An additional iPhone or iPad can be cabled to TX to create a 5th attached device.

Never before has a Wi-Fi system had 25ms latency or been able to handle 4K 60, and never before has a system allowed the user to connect an iPad or iPhone directly to the transmitter for professional monitoring and app integration. Put together, all these features in a single system redefine on-set video, opening up exciting new ways for professionals to collaborate.

Accsoon has long been a leading innovator in wireless video. Now for the first time, it is bringing a true 4K 60P to Wi-Fi based wireless video systems. This fully end-to-end 4K solution offers 4K on both wireless and wired connections. It allows:

4K60 Input

4K60 Loop-out

4K60 Encode

4K60 Decode

4K60 Output

4K60 Transmission

4K60 Record

4K60 Livestream

Accsoon's Tri-Band 6GHz, 5GHz and 2.4GHz transmission technology is a quantum leap forward. Using patented technology it promises greater robustness, faster connection times, lower latency, and the ability to manage multiple connections gracefully.

When compared to rival systems the CineView Master 4K offers three times greater interference resistance.

If the TX unit is set at 4K, the RX unit can be set to either 4K or HD depending on the user’s preference. When using multiple RX units these can individually be set at either 4K or HD and do not have to match resolution. This enables different users on-set to tailor the output to the exact needed resolution of their monitor or device, e.g. if connection to a HD only production monitor is required at the same time as a larger 4K screen, or a 4K switcher.

The new 6GHz frequency is the cutting edge of wireless technology. With 14 available channels it offers higher speeds with less interference. In congested wireless environments with a lot of competing devices, the CineView Master 4K is better able to achieve optimal performance. This is all made possible on the device by the extreme power of the High-Performance A/V Processor with 8K capabilities.

Ideal for busy wireless environments with a number of connected devices. The CineView Master 4K priority is to optimally balance speed and range.

Market-proven reliability supports up to 10 different groups of CineView transmitters and receivers working within close range.

The CineView Master 4K significantly reduces latency from input to output to only 25 ms at 1080p 50/60. This near real-time performance is faster than rival wireless systems and directly addresses the demands of cinematographers, camera operators and assistants. Latency in 4K resolution is an impressive 35ms.

This is all made possible by the High-Performance A/V Processor and the Accsoon RTMS 4.0 proprietary protocol.

Distance is no barrier to the the CineView Master 4K. It can achieve a 2.5 km/1.5 mile transmission range thanks to the patented Accsoon simultaneous Tri-Band technology. Not only does it work over vast distances it does so with incredible stability, pushing the limits to make it the highest performing Accsoon system to date.

Using the same technology as Accsoon’s popular SeeMo line of iOS adapters, the CineView Master 4K conveniently integrates the functions of both a SeeMo and the all-new 4K 60P wireless system into a single transmitter unit.

It features a wired MFi-certified connection that transforms a connected iPad or iPhone into a fully-fledged professional camera-top monitor. 4K 60P video can be viewed, recorded or streamed on iPads and iPhones. The resolution of the MFi output can be set to either 4K or HD, similar to the way each RX unit can be set at a different resolution. For example, the MFi output can be set to 4K, while a 1080P signal is sent wirelessly at the same time to RX units or wirelessly connected iOS devices.

Being MFi certified means the device has passed stringent certification tests to work correctly with iOS devices.

Latency of monitoring is incredibly low, rivalling some professional stand-alone monitors. This further reduces the need for additional bulky equipment. Thanks to the high brightness, high accuracy screens of the latest iPhones and iPads the image quality is truly superb. When cabled the CineView Master 4K the date rate of the MFi connection is up to 32Mbps.

The newly redesigned Accsoon SEE app works on both wired and wirelessly connected iPad and iPhones, plus wirelessly connected Android devices. It offers professional features like live streaming, recording, focus peaking, pinch-to-magnify, image-flip, waveforms, audio level meters, false color and more, all via touch control.

Users can now also record and stream with LUTs, and use LUT calibration. A fresh UI design has been implemented that’s even more user-friendly, allowing users to record and go live vertically at up to 4K60 resolution.

The SEE app also allows the Cineview Master 4K to easily share footage to Frame.io through its C2C (Camera to Cloud) integration. Transferring HD clips to a remote editor while shooting has never been faster or easier. The iPad or iPhone’s Wi-Fi or cellular data connection even replaces the need for a separate data dongle.

This setup enables Real-time automatic uploads meaning that from the moment recording is started on the Accsoon SEE app, the clip automatically starts uploading to Frame.io’s servers – it doesn’t have to wait for the clip to finish recording.

With faster data connections this means that clips are often available on Frame.io seconds after recording finishes. This can save vital minutes of time for the editor and is ideal for content creators, news organisations, sports, e-sports, live events, corporations, NGOs, schools, colleges and a wide variety of other applications.

The CineView Master 4K solution creates lightweight, ready-to-edit 4K 60P video files, swiftly powered via Frame.io’s real-time upload API. The objective is to create an efficient workflow where speed is the priority and the files sent are acceptable as end deliverables for transmission, streaming or upload to social platforms.

Accsoon developed the next-generation RTMS 4.0 protocol in-house to work with the new High-Performance A/V Processor. This gives it even more powerful video proccessing capabilities. In combination, the protocol and the processor represent a remarkable 400% increase in processing capabilities. All elements of the video pipeline are perfectly optimised using Accsoon’s extensive knowledge gained over years of making wireless systems. This also allows the processor to effortlessly manage Tri-Band multi-stream video transmission even under the most demanding conditions.

The CineView Master 4K has an all-aluminum housing built to withstand the rigours of production. With its unique angles and an industrial aesthetic the design is fresh and modern. Both transmitter and receiver have Full-color LCDs for clear and simple layout. It can be secured to cameras and monitors via anti-rotation 1/4 20 mounts. 

An in-built cooling fan can be user-configured for optimal performance. There are several modes:

STANDARD MODE - Standard mode allows peak fan speeds, ensuring performance in every environment.

QUIET MODE - Quiet mode reduces fan speed, limiting the amount of noise.

TURN IT OFF - In audio-critical scenarios where absolutely no fan noise is permissible the fan can be turned off completely for a limited time - this depends on the ambient temperatures.

The CIneView Master 4K will cost $849 US and will ship in Q3, 2024.

The CineView Master 4K will be on display on the Accsoon booth, 12.C71 at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam 13-16 September, 2024.
