Sony's Network RX Station, the PWS-110RX1A, can be used stand-alone or with XDCAM air, our cloud-based ENG solution. Depending on the configuration, it can accept live video and audio directly from a vast array of supported camcorders and adaptors via single- or dual-link connections using cellular, Wi-Fi or wired networks. The Network RX Station delivers uncommonly high-quality HD streams.

Live-streaming from camcorders is very popular right now, and it's not hard to see why. News organizations want the fastest access to breaking stories and editors want to get the fastest possible head start on incoming footage. But not all streaming technologies are created equal.

At the high end, satellite and microwave contribution work well — if you can afford the van, the antennas and the operating costs. Low-end Wi-Fi-based solutions are good for providing pictures to an audience that might otherwise be left in the dark. But all too often, the video stream is marred by picture freezes, dropped frames and macro blocking. That's why Sony developed advanced streaming with Quality of Service (QoS) for our PWS-110RX1A streaming receiver. You get maximum performance at minimum cost.
