Hello everyone,

We are at a researching phase to launch a live HD streaming TV channel that will probably be using the new NewTek TriCaster TCXD300 (http://bit.ly/8jEqd9) (portable Live HD production system) in tandem with the new Sony HXRNX5U (http://bit.ly/6itnv6).

My question is;

Is there a wireless solution that will allow connecting three of these cameras to the TriCaster TCXD300 using HD-SDI input/output? Something similar to the Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Bodypack system but for HD video/audio bandwidth.

This way we will travel to the place where interviews will be conducted and have a crew of only 5 people (3 cam operators, a live video editor, and the interviewer) make the whole interview and at the end of it have the final finished video - complete with title intros, lower 3rd's, end credits etc.

Imagine 3 cam operators, two operating on tripods, one handheld, all wirelessly transmitting HD-SDI signal to the TriCaster TCXD300 which operates another crew member who cuts live the whole interview between the three cams. Multicam live editing is what I think the term is...

Is there a wireless solution like that that will not compromise on HD video/audio quality?

What are your thoughts?
