Flex Fusion Hire: Wireless Broadcast Live System

The operational and financial case for the FLEX Fusion on multi-camera productions is clear. At £225/day, the FLEX Fusion costs less than combining the FLEX IP (£175) and a CC-S700 from the wireless camera control range (£125) at £300/day for comparable combined functionality. It also removes one wireless system per camera position from the rig, which means shorter setup time, fewer batteries, fewer cables, fewer antennas competing for RF spectrum, and fewer systems to monitor and troubleshoot during a live transmission.

On a six-camera outside broadcast where every position needs all three functions, the difference between the FLEX Fusion approach and separate systems is six fewer wireless units on the rig, six fewer frequency allocations to manage, and a noticeably simpler technical operation from setup through to wrap.

The transmitter measures 132 x 100 x 26 mm and weighs 450 grams. The receiver is slightly larger at 163 x 97 x 26 mm and 550 grams. Both are compact enough for camera-top mounting on standard broadcast rigs and for standard rack or shelf installation at the truck end. The OLED display on both units provides instant visibility of signal strength, link quality, active frequency, and battery status.

Power comes from V-Mount and Anton Bauer battery plates at a wide 7.5 to 36V supply range - the widest supply voltage tolerance in the FLEX range - making the Fusion compatible with the broadest range of broadcast power sources.

Every FLEX Fusion is tested by a technician across all three signal paths before dispatch. We verify video quality and latency on a live HD-SDI signal, test IP data throughput and network transparency through the LAN ports, and confirm Sony camera-control protocol handshake and shading response. All units ship with V-Mount or Anton Bauer battery plates, SDI cables, LAN cables, and antennas. You collect from our London facility with same-day collection available, or we arrange delivery to your venue.

If your production needs only two of the three functions, the FLEX IP and FLEX S700 cover those combinations individually. If your video return is handled separately and you only need Sony control and IP data, the CC-S700 and the wireless camera control range are more cost-effective.
