Note

Can you please do a resin comparison of Myou white skin tone with Doll Family-h and other bjd companies that have jointed hands?

Companies that have yellow-toned white skins are good matches:

Angel of Dream, Chicabonita, Doll Leaves, Doll Love, Dollzone/Doll Chateau (sister companies), Mystic Kids, Souldoll, Sugarble, Xagadoll/Asleep Eidolon; Magic Time and Fairyland too, but their MSD dolls are smaller so parts may not be compatible.

Jointed hand candidates (handidates?):

Asleep Eidolon/Xaga Doll white 2021 looks fairly close to 2019 Myou white, and they offer 1/3-sized jointed hands.

Doll Leaves white is described as a good match in a comment from 2022, but the included photo link was broken unfortunately. I’ll see if I can ask the commenter to repost it!

Doll Legend jointed hands might have worked but the company seems to be defunct. ;-;

Doll Chateau’s 1/4 jointed hands fit nicely on Myou Doll’s 1/4 ver. 3 girl body. (A bit small on ver. 1 but still functional.)

—

Companies that have pink or peach toned whites that won't match so well are:

IOS, Luts, Angell Studio, Loong Soul, Doll Legend, Akagi Doll, Migidoll, Dikadoll, Angel Fantasy, Doll Family-H, Doll Family-A

*Doll Family-H white matched in 2016/2017 but is now lighter and has a pinker undertone.

and companies that have paper white skin:

Dikadoll pure white (not sure on regular white), Resinsoul, Dream Valley

Will update if I can find information on other possibilities for jointed hands. Thank you for your ask and please let me know if you have other questions.

Myou White Resin Comparisons by epicari on Den of Angels [2017]

1. Dikadoll white 2017 (not a match- is a little pinker)- Dika pure white is a pure white so also not a match when fresh, however both Dika's whites yellow so older pieces may match)

2. Mystic Kids white 2017 (very close match)

3. Myou white 2017

4. Doll Family H white 2016 (very close match, is a tiny bit lighter) *no longer a match as of 2021

Top left: Resinsoul WS 2018- not at match as much whiter, but could be blushed to match.

Bottom left: Fairyland WS 2016- a passable match

Top right: Angel of Dream WS 2018- a good match

Bottom right: Souldoll WS possibly 2016?- a close match, the Souldoll looks a touch more yellow

Above: Doll Legend 1/3 male hands in white resin are a good match and fit for 1/3 Myou male body in white resin [2017] (jointed hand on left, original Myou hand on right) /sadly I think Doll Legend company is defunct ;-;

Above: 1/4 Doll Chateau hands on Myou ver. 3 body. They fit very well and the size looks natural on this body. The hands and V3 body are white and the colour is a good match.

2020 Comparison by balljointedheart

Withdoll cream white is a potential match, may be slightly lighter.

Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right) by cap’n on Den of Angels [2021]

Myou WS matches (modern) Dollzone WS perfectly. The lighting isn't great (sorry) but here's Dollzone WS (left) and Myou WS (right). They're both a sort of creamy tone.

It is NOT a match to Dream Valley white. I still have Dream Valley white and it is very stark paper white.

Ali List.

I just want to note that some of them might be recasters, but I didn’t have anyone to discuss this with, so maybe people could update, or give their verdict in the comments. This is the list of Ali shops I checked for legitness. I did not add the recasters I know are 100% recasters, though I’ve been writing some of them down. In case someone wonders, the reason I added in the shops that sell BJD, I’m just not sure if they are resellers, or what. If they only have one, or use the brand names directly, I put them in, so it can be figured out. I also don’t know if some may resell legits from Taobao sellers. I know there’s a practice of people buying BJD’s officially, and reselling them for a higher price, either directly, or through shipping, and since I’m not sure what doll sculpts are used in the shops, I’m trying to figure out if they are just selling recasts, or doing lowkey scalping. Huedoep (various) wanmeijiafa Store (various) EmilysDollFashion Store (Sells DIY clothing kits.) allaosify Official Store (Various) AIDOLLA Magical Store (Mainly wigs, and wefts) ZKY DOL Store (Shoes/wigs) Msiredoll Store (Wefts and wigs) Here are the ones I need some special input in, mainly because I’m not knowledgeable, and I need some help on finding info. WanWuTown -They sell direct copies of official stores, I think. I’m not sure how people stand to direct copies of official clothing. They’re not “recasts”, but they still infringe on certain rules. wamami (this one is complicated Imo) -This seller sells AOD dolls at the same price point, as the official dealers. A little more expensive, but you seem to get with clothing? If not, they sell it more expensive than official dealer. I was able to find all the AOD dolls they had listed with the names, on official sites, AC-bjd, under the same name. They also sell a doll named Chi Yao, “only doll.” I couldn’t recognise the name, so don’t know about specifications. (Problem is even official dealers don’t have all dolls, and it’s hard to find deleted/sold out, or dolls only sold on one specific site.) The doll is sold at a pretty normal price point, I think. The seller notes says it’s “Bidding” on the doll, not directly buying, and it’s NOT a fullset.

A note for Wamami, and their AOD, and OD dolls they offer. I found an original Legedd0ll listing for the Chi Yao OD doll. http://legendd0ll.net/goods-858.html Wamami are actually upcharging the doll. If you added the price of face up, it’d be 345usd from LD, instead of 399usd on Wamami. (with free face-up) So it might actually be an upcharge legit.

Bybrana -They sell a 1/8 scale mini BJD. I don’t recognise the face. One pic had the LutsBJD on it, but the closest sculpt I found was Hanael Princess. But the sculpts don’t match around the mouth. (I also don’t know Luts sizing, which makes it harder to figure out) So Idk if it’s actually Luts, or cheaper Taobao doll in similar style.

I found out, after actually looking closely at the pic, that the doll is clearly labelled as LutsBJD Tyltyl Elf tiny Delf. (My ass can’t find it googling though, so help?) The reason I’m also not sure if “Bybrana” is doing recasts, is because 1/8 dolls are around that price point from what I’ve seen. On Legendd0ll they sell 1/8 baby dolls for around 110usd, compared to the Bybrana (listed as reduced price from 111) as 88usd.

http://legendd0ll.net/search.php?encode=YTozOntzOjg6ImtleXdvcmRzIjtzOjM6IjEvOCI7czoxMDoiaW1hZ2VGaWVsZCI7czowOiIiO3M6MTg6InNlYXJjaF9lbmNvZGVfdGltZSI7aToxNjAxOTg1MDY5O30=

cataleya Official Store -Sells one doll, do not recognise the sculpt. I think this is a recast since the price is pretty cheap, but I just wanna double check. Also sells Susu DF-A Head, but in same shades as official seller. Notes 6, instead of 5 resin tones, but white seems doubled. At a higher price than found on official dealer. Shop4707117 Store -Sells Blythe stuff, but also offers a Blythe silicone head mould. Also bootleg MH bodies. Help would be appreciated, the ones at the top are legit, but you are all free to double check, since things might fall through the cracks. Also, please be serious, and actually open minded while looking, since I really wanna be sure we get the legits from the recasters.

Also, I do want to note that the “100 pieces available” might not actually be indicative of stock, since I’ve bought (non doll) items on Ali before, and the stock would sometimes be less than what is listed. Or, since the dolls mentioned by brand are still available for order from OD, and AOD, they might just have the stock as 100 since you can continue to order them, since they’re still being produced.

I thought I'd update my wishlist, since I've recently got two of the dolls that were on it and there are a few new ones I wanted to add to the list! It used to be mostly tiny anthros, but now there's mostly human dolls on there. These aren't in order or anything (though Curly is my next intended purchase if nothing else comes up)! All the photos come from the companies who made the dolls!

1. Dikadoll Yolanda 2. Eve Studio Sphynx 3. Xagadoll Sara 4. Impldoll Makayla 5. Mystic Kids Francis Sp 6. Luts Kid Zuzu Delf Curly 7. Harucasting Geuru 8. Dearmine Agrippa 9. Dikadoll Mudan

Blackmagic Design Announces New Blackmagic Video Assist 12G

AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IBC 2019–Blackmagic Design today announced Blackmagic Video Assist 12G which are new models of the company’s popular combined monitoring and recording solutions. These new models feature brighter HDR screens, built in scopes, upgraded batteries, 12G-SDI and much more. Blackmagic Video Assist 12G will be available in September 2019 from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide from US$795.

The Blackmagic Video Assist 12G will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design IBC 2019 booth #7.B45.

The new Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR adds professional monitoring and recording to any SDI or HDMI camera in all HD, Ultra HD, 2K and 4K DCI formats. The new improved design includes innovations such as brighter screens for HDR work, tally indicator, 4 built in scopes, enhanced focus assist features, 3D LUTs and native Blackmagic RAW recording from supported cameras. With 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 on both 5″ and 7″ models, customers get support for recording from virtually any device in all formats up to 2160p60. A brighter touch screen ensures a better view of their recording when shooting HDR digital film, or when shooting outdoors in sunlight.

The new design also features upgraded batteries and supports two standard Sony L-Series batteries. This means Blackmagic Video Assist 12G is incredibly versatile and is the perfect solution for the next generation of digital cinema shoots, live production mastering, broadcast testing and measurement.

There are two models of Blackmagic Video Assist 12G, with each model including an innovative touch screen user interface with deck controls, as well as a large screen to view recordings. The Blackmagic Video Assist 7″ 12G model also includes 2 media slots, while both the 5″ and 7″ models include 12G-SDI for high frame rate Ultra HD, analog inputs for audio, USB-C external disk recording, plus a front panel speaker and side mounted headphone jack.

Customers also get 2 rear battery slots for mounting Sony L-Series batteries, so customers have enough power for the brighter HDR screens and higher speed Ultra HD electronics. A 12v universal power supply is included for studio or on location use.

Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR is an ideal upgrade for cameras, as it’s super bright 2500nit display is bigger than the tiny displays found on consumer cameras, plus users are also adding professional focus assist features and better quality file formats. Video Assist is also a great solution for professional cameras because customers can use it to upgrade older broadcast cameras to modern file formats used on the latest editing software. No matter what editing software customers use, Video Assist lets customers support them all, as customers can record in Apple ProRes, Avid DNx and Blackmagic RAW. With both HDMI and 12G-SDI inputs customers can connect it to any consumer camera, broadcast camera or even DSLR cameras. Then, on supported cameras, customers can even upgrade to RAW style workflows with Blackmagic RAW.

The innovative touchscreen LCD user interface provides incredible control. On screen, there are dedicated buttons for play, stop and record, plus a mini timeline for scrolling through their recordings. Customers can even image swipe to jog. The LCD includes a heads up display of timecode, video standard, media status as well as audio meters. Scopes can be enabled via the touch screen as well as focus and exposure assist. Plus customers can load and save 3D LUTs.

Video Assist uses commonly available SD card media, so customers can record to flash memory cards that are easy to obtain. The files are small enough to allow long recordings on standard SD cards or the faster UHS-II cards. The larger Video Assist 12G 7″ model even includes 2 SD card slots so customers can swap out any full cards even during recording, allowing infinite length recording. Standard SD cards or the faster UHS-II cards are perfect for broadcast because they are small, high speed and affordable.

If recording to other media types is required, then the USB-C Expansion port lets customers plug in an external flash disk for recording. Imagine adding a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G for easy SSD compatibility with other recorders such as Blackmagic HyperDeck models. Customers even get on screen menus for managing external disks using the touch screen.

Video Assist features a wide range of video and audio connections such as multi-rate 12G-SDI for SD, HD, and Ultra HD SDI devices. HDMI is included for HDMI cameras and monitoring to consumer televisions and video projectors. The 7 inch model features Mini XLR inputs which are provided for audio input from microphones and external audio mixers. Video Assist even includes a 12V DC power connection with locking power connector.

Customers will be ready for the latest HDR workflows with support for the latest HDR standards and an extremely bright screen with a wide color gamut. Plus the high brightness screen makes outdoor shooting in bright sunlight possible. The built in scopes even change to HDR scopes when working in HDR formats. Files are tagged with the correct HDR information then SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The bright LCD has a wider color gamut so it can handle both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 colorspaces. The built in Video Assist LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI-P3 format.

Video Assist features full internal waveform monitoring so customers can ensure compliance to broadcast standards and it also works great as a portable waveform monitoring solution. The waveform display provides a traditional luminance (brightness) levels view of the video inputs or the playback signal. The vectorscope display allows customers to see the intensity of color at 100% SDI reference levels. Customers also get an RGB parade display which is ideal for color correction and checking for illegal levels. Histogram shows the distribution of white to black detail in their images and highlights or shadows clipping.

The built in scopes can even be overlaid on live video, or as a small picture in picture view at the top right of the scope.

The SDI and HDMI connections are multi-rate, so handle SD, HD, and Ultra HD. SD formats include NTSC and PAL. 720p HD standards include 720p50 and 59.94p. 1080i HD interlaced formats include 1080i50 and 59.94. 1080p HD formats include 1080p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60p. Customers can even do 1080 PsF formats. Ultra HD is supported up to 2160p59.94. Customers can even record 2K and 4K DCI rates up to 25p for digital film work.

Video Assist works with industry standard 17 and 33 point 3D LUT files, or customers can work with the built in LUTs such as Extended Video, Film to Video, Film to Rec.2020 and more.

Video Assist records using standard open file formats so customers don’t have to waste time transcoding media. Recording works in industry standard 10-bit ProRes or DNx files in all formats and from all HDMI or SDI cameras, as well as 12-bit Blackmagic RAW when connected to supported cameras. Best of all media files work on all operating systems.

Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary new format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from cameras. Video Assist supports Blackmagic RAW recording from popular cameras such as Panasonic EVA1 and Canon C300 MK II. This eliminates the problems with popular camera formats such as H.264, which are highly compressed resulting in noise and processing artifacts. It also saves camera settings as metadata so customers can set ISO, white balance and exposure, then override them later while editing, all without any loss of quality. Blackmagic RAW files are also small and fast to use making them easy to work with.

Blackmagic Video Assist 12G includes a built in professional audio recorder that is much better quality than the audio quality found in most cameras, eliminating the need to carry around extra audio equipment. When working in SDI formats, customers can record 2, 4, 8 or 16 channels of audio in real time. For connecting microphones the Video Assist 7″ model has two XLR analog audio inputs with phantom power that support the high definition audio sample rate of 192 kHz at uncompressed 16 and 24 bit per sample. Customers can monitor using on screen audio meters with user selectable VU or PPM ballistics.

Multiple languages are fully supported so customers don’t need to learn another language to use it. Support is included for English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.

The files from Blackmagic Video Assist 12G are common and are compatible with all operating systems or in most video software. Media can be formatted using ExFAT or HFS+ so customers can easily access the media on computers and access the files like regular disks. DaVinci Resolve is perfect for use with Video Assist because it features editing, color correction, audio post production and visual effects all in one software application.

“The original Blackmagic Video Assist monitors and recorders were very popular and a fantastic way to upgrade older cameras, as well as for use in general broadcast areas of the television industry,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “These new models are an incredible improvement and incorporate all the lessons we have learnt from our customers in Hollywood. They have brighter LCD screens, 12G-SDI, Blackmagic RAW, better focus assist tools, presets, 3D LUTS and much more! They are so nice and it’s very exciting!”

Review: Teradek Serv Pro and VUER

Teradek’s Serv Pro is a $1799 camera-top wireless transmitter, sending H.264 video and audio to as many as ten iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches. VUER is the free app that receives the Serv Pro’s transmissions. The two combined form a wireless monitoring system for any production that needs to show a feed to multiple people and doesn’t want the bother of running cables.

VUER displaying Serv Pro’s feed

Serv Pro fills a unique niche. There are uncompressed camera-top transmitters like the Paralinx systems and Teradek’s own Bolt series; these are real-time links with zero latency—or close enough as makes no difference—sending signals from cameras to one or more receivers, which then feed SDI or HDMI to monitors. These systems use dedicated high-bandwidth radio links and require matched transmitter/receiver pairs. Uncompressed transmitters are the industry standard for wireless monitoring, as the signal is detailed enough and timely enough for remote operating, focus-pulling, and engineering.

There are compressed systems, like Teradek’s Cube and VidiU, which send long-GOP video over Wi-Fi, Wired Ethernet, and/or 3G+ mobile channels. These systems are designed to be used for live streaming, but can also send pictures and sound to apps on mobile devices like iPads and iPhones, which act as combined receivers and displays.

As iPhones and iPads have become commonplace, Cubes and their ilk have been pressed into service as non-realtime “secondary” transmitters for those who can live with the slight delay incurred by long-GOP H.264 compression. It’s not uncommon on larger productions for a Bolt or Paralinx system to send a feed to video village, where a Cube transmitter re-encodes the feed for distribution to Various Important People with iDevices. Cubes also work as primary wireless transmitters on lower-budget (or just lower-footprint) productions, offering comparatively low-cost remote monitoring for cameras on gimbals, Steadicams, shoulder rigs, jibs, and car mounts.

It’s a handy thing to be able to do, but as iPhones and iPads proliferate on-set, Cubes show their limits: they’re fine feeding two or three iOS devices, but have increasing difficulty with more, lagging intolerably when trying to handle more than four. They can also be daunting to set up due to their more complex configuration menus—a necessity given their wide-ranging capabilities.

Thus the Serv Pro: a dedicated iOS streamer. Teradek says a Serv Pro will feed ten iOS devices as easily as one. That’s all it does. It’s very much a one-trick pony, but if that’s the sort of trick you need to pull off, this is the pony to do it.

Serv Pro Hardware

The Serv Pro is wrapped in a blue anodized aluminum box, 4.75″ x 3″ x 1.1″ (121 x 76 x 28mm), with diagonally-grooved heat dissipation fins. With its two Wi-Fi antennas attached it tips the scales at 14 oz (398g).

Serv Pro with iPhone 6 running VUER

The left side (assuming you mount the device with the control panel on the left) has four status LEDs and a dot-matrix display, plus two stubby rubber joystick-buttons for menu navigation.

There’s a 1/4×20 mounting socket on the back.

The right side has an HD-SDI input BNC, a full-size HDMI input, a 10/100/1000baseT wired Ethernet port, a two-pin Lemo power input with a power switch, and a 3.5mm minijack for line/mic audio input (SDI and HDMI allow embedded audio, too).

The front has two terminals for the supplied Wi-Fi antennas.

The underside has another 1/4×20 mounting point.

The Serv Pro comes with two tiltable antennas; a multivoltage AC adapter, including plugs for just about anywhere in the world; a 1/4×20 shoe mount adapter; short Ethernet and HDMI cables; a very slick coiled SDI cable with right-angle BNCs; and four adorably tiny rubber stick-on feet in case you wish to use Serv Pro flat on a table.

There’s also a single sheet of instructions. Because that’s all you need.

Operation

Mount the Serv Pro where it’s needed. Connect your input. Supply power. Turn it on. You’re done. Seriously, you can be up and running that easily. Serv Pro comes out of the box set up to establish its own wireless network (Access Point mode, in Teradek terms) and start streaming as soon as it’s initialized.

From power on to pictures received in VUER takes just over two minutes. Unlike 2nd-generation Cubes, Serv Pro does not have an internal bridge battery, so you’ll be off-air for two minutes at every power change. The DC input on the Serv Pro accepts 6–28 volts and both Teradek and third parties offer a variety of power input cables and battery plates; a D-tap cable is perhaps the most common cable used.

Serv Pro dissipates about 8 watts, and the casing gets quite warm in use, though not uncomfortably so. If you’re going to put it flat on a table, use those rubber feet, so air can circulate beneath the box.

By default, the Serv Pro auto-selects a channel on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi bands and creates an open network. Anyone with VUER loaded on an iOS device can connect to that network and start viewing the feed.

If you prefer, you can limit channel selection to either the 2.4 or 5GHz bands, choose the channel directly, enable Wi-Fi password protection and/or stream encryption (encryption requires the just-released version 2.1 firmware), and/or switch the Serv Pro into “infrastructure mode” to connect through a different Wi-Fi network instead of creating its own. All this can be done using the side panel’s display and joysticks, or—more easily—through the embedded webpage, available over both the wired and wireless interfaces.

Why would an iOS streaming device offer a wired interface? It’s handy for firmware updates, and for Camera Link: Serv Pro can act as a wireless access point for a variety of cameras with Ethernet ports, so you can connect to their embedded webservers from your iPhone or iPad.

VUER

VUER is Teradek’s free app for receiving Serv Pro feeds. It runs on any iDevice with an A7 or better processor (iPhone 5S or later, iPad 5th generation or later, iPad mini 2 or later, iPod touch 6G) running iOS 9 or later. It can display one, two, or four images simultaneously from up to four Serv Pros and/or 3rd-generation Cubes, depending on the iDevice—it only allowed three simultaneous feeds on my iPad Air.

VUER offers a wide variety of settings and adjustments. You can pinch-zoom the image. You can apply peaking (“analog style”, in white), focus assist (“digital style” in several colors), false color, anamorphic desqueeze, and ‘scopes: waveform monitor, vectorscope, and histogram. You can also load LUTs or CDLs, and display a CDL editor onscreen:

VUER’s CDL editor, on iPad

There’s even a link to Pomfort LiveGrade: VUER can control LiveGrade, or vice versa.

You have control over the Serv Pro’s resolution and bitrate, and VUER’s decoding delay. Lowering resolution and/or bitrate may allow better performance on congested networks or at longer distances. Adding some delay—up to 1 second—may help when signal quality is poor; there’s time for retries when packets get dropped. Teradek’s TeraView app helpfully labels its version of this slider as “Lower Delay” vs. “Smoother Video”.

VUER gives you direct control over the iDevice’s screen brightness and audio volume, so you don’t have to fumble with buttons or the iOS control panel. Combinations of inputs and screen layouts can be saved as workspaces, so you can bounce between different setups without manually reconfiguring your inputs and displays. There’s a frame grab manager, so you can save grabbed frames to the Camera Roll or load them from the Camera Roll; frame grabs can be supered and crossfaded to/from using a Frame Compare tool.

Teradek has a hands-on walkthrough video, and here are a few screenshots:

Performance

Teradek claims that Serv Pro supports up to ten iOS clients with a mere two-frame delay at distances of up to 300 feet. I set out to test this as best I could.

To look at delay, I compared Serv Pro (connected to an iPhone SE) against a Video Devices PIX-E5 and a Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+, all fed from the same HDMI output on a GH4. I set up a “shoot ‘em all” scene as described here, capturing the live image off MovieSlate’s timecode display alongside the output of the device under test. I shot a few seconds of each scene, and looked at the lag in the readout of the device being tested as compared to the source timecode slate. I did the tests with the slate and the taking camera set to 60p, and then at 24p (60p is a bit of a cheat, as the Serv Pro’s transmitted image tops out at 1080/30p, but at least I’d get a high-temporal-resolution result). Note that VUER defaults to a 200ms delay; I set its delay to 0ms to get the lowest possible latency.

At 60p, the image displayed by the Serv Pro was usually 5 60p frames behind those of the Pix-E and Odyssey. I say “usually” because once in a while the delay was a frame better or a frame worse; H.264 over Wi-Fi doesn’t have a guaranteed latency. 60p is 2.5x faster than 24p; 5 ÷ 2.5 = 2 frames of delay at 24p.

And sure enough, at 24p, the Serv Pro was usually 2 frames behind the PIX-E or Odyssey. Those hardwired devices lagged the live image by 5 frames (the GH4’s HDMI delivery has its own not insubstantial delay), while the Teradek’s overall delay was usually 7 frames.

Furthermore, this same latency held with six clients:

The slate says “7 clients” because I expected an iPhone 4S to be in the mix, but it fell beneath VUER’s minimum requirements and I forgot to change the slate.

I had everything from an iPhone 5S to a pair of iPad Pros, and performance was comparable across all of them.

Adding an image effect like False Color or Focus Assist occasionally caused an additional frame or two of delay:

This only occurred perhaps a third of the time (I cherry-picked that frame grab), and it’s to be expected: adding a processing step adds a delay even if it’s usually under a frame.

Overall I’d rate this as excellent performance for a compressed transmitter using an iPhone as a a receiver/monitor. On a camera with a lower-latency output (yes, I know, like a real camera such as the F55, where the SDI output is only two frames behind reality), it may even be fast enough for operating or focus pulling in certain circumstances.

Mind you, this behavior was measured under near-ideal conditions: all receivers within arm’s length of the transmitter, in a reasonably uncrowded Wi-Fi environment.

Once I started walking away with my iPhones, I saw a gradual degradation in performance—both in overall latency, and in the smooth and continuous delivery of frames—depending on distance and the amount of stuff between transmitter and receiver. Putting as many interior walls between me and the Serv Pro as possible, I’d get hiccups and even the occasional total signal loss in under 50 feet (15 meters). With the rig outdoors, I was able to walk about 360 feet (110 meters) down the road before signal was lost, though I started seeing increased latency, hiccups, and dropped frames starting around 250 feet or so. At the 360 foot point, a delivery delay of over 4 seconds (as handily reported by VUER’s video statistics overlay) wasn’t unusual… but consider that I was 20% beyond the Serv Pro’s specified range.

It’s Wi-Fi, after all: it’s an unlicensed, shared chunk of spectrum, and performance is not guaranteed. If the built-in access point in the Serv Pro doesn’t have the punch you need, consider an industrial-strength access point with high-gain antennas, advanced beam-forming, and sophisticated interference rejection. Teradek makes their own, the production-friendly Link. Commercial units by the likes of Ubiquiti and Ruckus are how the pros provide access in trying situations; Teradek uses Ruckus APs at NAB and IBC (or at least they did before they built the Link), two shows with notoriously crowded Wi-Fi airwaves.

I can personally attest to the fact that at Teradek’s NAB booth, all the Cube and Serv Pro Wi-Fi feeds were smooth and problem-free. 100 feet away in the DSC Labs booth, I was trying to run a Cube in both standalone and infrastructure mode, using a weedy little consumer-grade access point. Half the time I couldn’t even connect an iPad to the Cube, and when I could, frame drops and scrambled video were common. The access point makes all the difference.

As far as VUER goes, it’s a very complete monitoring system. I found it useful to set up a quad-split, typically with a raw image, an image with focus assist, one with false color, and the fourth with a full-size, RGB overlay WFM. Double-tapping any quadrant makes that image full-screen; double-tap again to return to the quad split. Fast and easy.

I only have a couple of quibbles:

The WFM and Histogram only show studio-swing range (0%–100%), so anything below black or between 100% and 109% will be lost. The WFM’s scale has divisions every 16.7%, unlike any other WFM around; the histogram is divided every 8.3%, likewise (in this way VUER is much like FCPX: the designers gave us scales because scales were on the feature list, without ever bothering to figure out what the scales should actually be. Not that I have an opinion or anything, mind you).

WFM: six steps from 0% to 100%?

The top-and-bottom control bars are outside the 16×9 picture area on a 1.5:1 iPad, but they overlay and obscure picture (and info boxes, and ‘scopes) on a 16×9 iPhone. Yes, the control bars are easily hidden, but as their background is opaque, it’s not always clear at a glance that they’re hiding anything beneath them.

The menu bar overlays the data panel…

…and the picture too, as it turns out.

That’s all I can find to complain about, sorry. Teradek have done a fine job on the software.

VUER, like any such app, tends to be relatively power hungry: it’s flogging the hardware mercilessly to receive, decompress, process, and display images as quickly as possible. In my testing I typically saw a drop in battery level of 10% in half an hour whether I was using an iPhone or iPad: a fully charged iDevice will be drained in around five hours.

Conclusion

At $1799, Serv Pro isn’t cheap, but it’s pretty much the only game in town if you need to feed a multitude of iOS devices from a single transmitter.

Yes, a 2nd-generation Cube can be had for slightly less money (or rather less on the used market), but those cubes are HDMI-only or SDI-only, require considerably more configuration, won’t handle more than four clients, and don’t (officially or reliably) display in VUER. A Cube 655 costs $200 more and tops out at six clients, and it’s still a Swiss-Army-knife transmitter, with a plethora of possibly confusing configuration options.

At NAB 2017, Teradek also mentioned a Serv (not Pro), with HDMI only, a four-client limit, and a price around $700. That’ll be a good alternative if and when it ships (Teradek tells me it’s still on the roadmap, awaiting a new encoding platform), as long as you don’t need SDI and don’t need more than four clients. And, of course, it won’t help you today.

Here’s the beauty of the Serv Pro:

Plug it in.

Turn it on.

Two minutes later: pictures!

It’’s hard to beat that.

If $1799 is a bit too spendy, consider renting one when you need it. They’re new, so not yet widely available, but a quick snuffling ‘round shows that Chater Camera in Berkeley CA has one for $150/day. Your local rental house might offer it, too, especially if you let ‘em know you need such a thing.

If you’ve come this far and are shaking your head at the things fools waste their money on, then Serv Pro isn’t for you. But if you need to feed pix and sound to Various Important People who can’t be tied down with wired monitors, you may very well look at it and say, “where’ve you been all my life?”

It’s a one-trick pony, but it does that trick very well indeed. It just works. Isn’t that what you want on a shoot?

Pros

Drop-dead simple to use on default settings; easy enough to change those defaults when necessary.

1080p feeds to as many as 10 iOS devices with minimal delay.

SDI and HDMI inputs, with embedded or separate audio.

Full-featured VUER app with full look management, frame guides, engineering ‘scopes, false color, peaking, multiple feeds, multiple views, and more.

Cons

$1799, not cheap! But if you need it, you need it.

Two minutes from power on to picture, and no internal bridge battery.

Cautions

Signal stability and latency are entirely at the mercy of local Wi-Fi conditions. If you need more range or robustness than Serv Pro’s default setup provides, it’s up to you to change the default settings, find uncongested channels, and/or configure an enterprise-class Wi-Fi access point to create your own Information Superhighway.

Serv Pro serves video to iOS devices only. Android is not supported and there are no plans to do so in the future.

VUER will drain an iDevice dry in about five hours, so tell your Director and AD and the other Important People to turn their devices off between setups, and not to just put ‘em down on a chair and wander away, leaving ‘em playing, or they won’t have any pretty pictures to look at after lunch. I know, it won’t work: people are forgetful and easily distracted, and it’ll be your fault their iPhones have run down and their iPads have died. No matter what happens, it’s always your fault. But that’s why you get paid the big, big money, right?

Because the Internet, and cats.

Disclosure: Teradek sent me a Serv Pro for review, and paid shipping both ways. I own two 2nd-generation Cubes, purchased used, and I use Teradek’s SDK to support Cubes, Clips, and VidiUs in my FieldMonitor app. Chater Camera was one of my two neighborhood rental shops when I lived in Silicon Valley, so their website was one of the ones I looked at seeking rental Serv Pros. Those aside, there’s no material connection between me and Teradek or Chater, and neither one has offered any payments, considerations, emoluments, blandishments, free weekends at Pismo beach, or outright bribes for a favorable mention.
