The new Vislink DragonFly V 5G bonded cellular miniature transmitter combines 5G connectivity with high-performance video streaming capabilities in an ultra-lightweight device.
This transmitter is available now alongside the existing DragonFly V COFDM model. With DragonFly V 5G, Vislink can fully support live broadcast production, streaming smooth HD video in a small, versatile device.
DragonFly V 5G equips producers to capture and transmit HD video in real time from anywhere. Through Its 5G bonding connectivity and compatibility with public and private 5G networks, it is designed for the evolving demands of live broadcast production, and able to support greater bandwidth and reliable, high-quality video streaming.
Compact and lightweight, weighing just 82 grams, DragonFly V 5G is a good choice for drones, body-worn cameras and other portable applications where productions intend to capture dynamic angles for immersive coverage. It captures and streams video in formats up to 1080p 50/60 HDR, engineered to maintain robust performance in challenging conditions, such as crowded live events and remote locations.
It also supports HDMI and SDI connections for direct integration into production workflows, and is optimised for extended field use without compromising performance.
DragonFly V 5G users can stream live footage from breaking news scenes for news broadcasts with minimal setup time, and public safety teams can capture live video for situational awareness for surveillance and first responder coordination. Entertainment producers can combine live event coverage with real-time streaming to deliver exciting viewer experiences.
COFDM Applications
The miniature DragonFly V COFDM transmitter, complementing the new 5G device, is designed to deliver reliable, HD video in environments where signal integrity is crucial. Weighing 73 grams, it also works with drones and body-worn cameras to capture dynamic live video for broadcasters and public safety applications.
Using COFDM (coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), this device splits a broadband channel into multiple narrow, discrete subchannels. The signals are sent at right angles to each other (orthogonally) to prevent interference. Able to handle extensive multipath propagation, it suits terrestrial broadcasting channels, such as radio and TV, and supports resilient video links even under challenging conditions.
Content Management
DragonFly V and Vislink’s range of COFDM, 5G and AI video devices can be centrally managed using LinkMatrix, a cloud-based management and control platform for remote monitoring and configuration of multiple devices in live production workflows. LinkMatrix gives real-time visibility into device performance, signal quality and network usage to help users optimise their setups from any device, anywhere.
DragonFly V 5G and DragonFly V COFDM are both available now. www.vislink.com
