Sony L-series NP-F batteries, the packs most camera departments already keep on charge, run every unit of the SWIT CREW TX + 2RX. This wireless video transmission system pairs one HD transmitter with two receivers and covers up to 1.2 km in clear line of sight, all from a single carrying case. SWIT itself names the one-to-two layout as the usual film-set arrangement: one screen for the director of photography, one for the 1st AC.

That split depends on timing. Latency is quoted at a constant 32 ms and, according to SWIT, it stays put even as the radio environment fills up. The manufacturer rates it fast enough for wireless follow focus, the most delay-sensitive job on set, and several CREW links running side by side stay in step on a multi-camera shoot.

The transmitter takes a 3G-SDI input plus an SDI loop output, alongside a type-A HDMI input. If both carry a signal, SDI wins. Each receiver then outputs the picture on two 3G-SDI connectors, one HDMI port and one USB-C port at the same moment, regardless of the source connector. Format conversion comes for free: an HDMI-only mirrorless body reaches a switcher on BNC, while the SDI loop keeps an on-camera recorder or EVF fed.

Video is encoded in H.265 at a maximum of 26.8 Mbps and carries two channels of embedded audio. Accepted formats: 1080p at 23.98–60 fps, 1080psF at 23.98–30 fps, plus 1080i and 720p at 50, 59.94 and 60. It is a Full HD link; cameras shooting 4K route their HD monitoring output to it.

On each receiver the USB-C socket works as a UVC capture output. Windows and macOS treat it as a webcam, driver-free, at 1080p50/60, and in OBS it is added like any video capture device. At a conference, one receiver can feed the vision mixer while the other hands the same camera to a streaming laptop, and no capture card travels in the case. Load any third-party USB camera app on a phone or tablet and the port becomes a handheld preview screen for a producer.

The radio side is SWIT's own: a KUWI 2.0 Pro chip driven by a closed protocol, not Wi-Fi. Licence-free spectrum at 5.17–5.69 GHz and 5.75–5.83 GHz is used, DFS compliant, with OFDM modulation from BPSK up to 64QAM at 23 dBm. Set to Auto, the system scans the band and hops to a clearer frequency without dropping the image. An RF coordinator at a stadium or trade fair can lock one of 22 manual channels instead; set on the transmitter, it is mirrored by both receivers.

Two menus shape the behaviour. The transmitter switches image quality between HQ and Auto, and that change asks for a restart, best done during setup. Each receiver offers Low Latency or Stable: the second accepts extra delay in exchange for firmer resistance to interference, a sensible pick for a client monitor at the back of a venue packed with networks.

Range comes down to antennas. SWIT quotes roughly 900 m for the stock 3 dBi soft-base antennas. Swapping to the 5 dBi high-gain antennas supplied, a pair for each of the three units, lifts the figure to 1.2 km and steadies the link through partitions. The manual's field advice is simple: antennas upright, receiver raised and facing the transmitter, no walls, trees or water in the path. Add SWIT's CREW MAX panel receiver to the group and the same transmitter serves that position at up to 3 km.

Two receivers are a starting point. One transmitter drives up to four in multicast without giving up distance, latency or picture, and every CREW-family unit, whether NP-F, V-mount or panel type, links to any other. Large sites can run up to eight pairs at once, provided each transmitter has a valid source; white and yellow tags on the antennas show which receiver belongs to which camera.

Cinema crews get the data too. Embedded SDI metadata crosses the link for DIT live grading, alongside embedded timecode and the REC start/stop command, so a recorder at the far end rolls with the camera; the manual cites ARRI bodies here. Protection works on two levels, SWIT's proprietary radio protocol first and AES-256 encryption of the content second, which keeps an embargoed launch or a closed set off unauthorised screens.

Day to day, paired units find each other at power-on. Receivers are paired one at a time, after which the transmitter's bright OLED shows how many are connected, and each receiver displays signal strength, or "unlink" if the path breaks. Every screen also shows the power source and a four-bar battery gauge. Cooling follows internal temperature or can be switched off for silent takes. Updates come from a USB flash drive on the OTG adapter, after which the units are paired again.

All three units share the same power options: an NP-F plate (SWIT suggests NP-F770/970-class packs), a 2-pin LEMO input taking 7–17 V, or USB-C (transmitter 9 V/2 A, receivers 5 V/2 A). Power draw is 16 W at the transmitter and 6 W per receiver, with an operating range between −10 and 40 °C, and a 1/4"-20 thread takes standard mounting hardware. In the case: a D-Tap to 2-pin LEMO lead and a USB-C cable for each unit, the OTG adapter and twelve antenna tags in white and yellow. The transmitter sits in an all-metal housing, made for daily life on a camera rig.
