Microwave link
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A microwave link is a transmission device which allows video / audio / data to be sent using radio waves between two locations from just a few feet to several miles apart. It is commonly used by television broadcasters to transmit a programme across the country. For instance, from an Outside Broadcast back to a studio.
Mobile units can be camera mounted and are used to allow cameras the freedom to move around without trailing cables. Often seen on the touchline of field sports games on a Steadicam system.
