Teradek Demos New Solutions at 2016 NAB Show

At the recent 2016 NAB Show, Teradek demonstrated wireless video devices for remote video capture, camera control, real-time monitoring, color correction and webcasting. All were designed and manufactured in the USA.

Vitec Videocom Group company Teradek showed their wide spectrum of professional wireless solutions at the 2016 NAB Show, including transmitters Bolt, Beam, and COLR, encoders Cube, VidiU, VidiU Pro, VidiU Mini and CLiP for streaming iOS and Android devices, enterprise encoders T-Rax, and Slice, Bond for bonding streams over multiple network connections, and the Core cloud-based fleet management system.

The company also introduced several new products, including some new COLR solutions. COLR is a real-time LUT box, camera control bridge, and HDMI/SDI cross-converter in one tiny package. COLR integrates with Pomfort LiveGrade Pro, allowing DITs and colorists to give everyone the right look.
