6Features
Features
The DWT-B01 is a digital wireless
transmitter for a UHF synthesized wireless
microphone system to be used for broadcast
or movie production purpose. This
transmitter is suitable for Electronic News
Gathering (ENG) and Electronic Field
Production (EFP).
What is DWX?
DWX refers to Sony’s new digital wireless
microphone system. The DWX series
reflects Sony’s extensive expertise in
professional microphones and sound
design. It represents a successful blend of
Sony know-how, wireless technology
renowned for stability, and cutting-edge
digital audio technology.
In addition to realizing the high sound
quality possible with a digital system, the
DWX series supports multi-channel
simultaneous operation, encrypted
transmission, and metadata transmission for
monitoring the status of multiple
transmitters. Using a main link and a
separate additional link, remote control of
transmitters from the receiver is also
possible. With its many advanced features,
the system has the potential to revolutionize
the workflow of professional applications.
What is WiDIF-HP?
WiDIF-HP (WiDIF: Wireless Digital
Interface Format, HP: High Profile) is a
wireless digital audio interface format
developed by Sony.
It enables highly secure transmission with
high sound quality and low system latency,
and supports simultaneous multi-channel
operation.
What is Cross Remote?
Cross Remote is a system that allows
transmitters to be monitored and controlled
from a receiver and the Wireless Studio
