Wireless Video Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We source wireless video systems. Teradek, Vaxis and comparable transmitter and receiver sets — from Dutch rental vendors in the Amsterdam and Rotterdam production clusters, tied to the range, latency and channel count the shoot demands. Our team sets up wireless video into the production's overall RF plan so it does not collide with wireless audio, comms or lens control, and we carry backup units for longer schedules.

Here is the breakdown. For pro long-range or multi-receiver hardware not held in-country, gear moves freely by road from neighbouring Germany and Belgium under the EU single market, with no carnet needed for intra-EU transport, and hire from Dutch vendors counts as qualifying spend under the 35% Netherlands Film Production Rebates.

Here is the short of it. Wireless video is a set up discipline in the Netherlands. The Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI) covers radio-frequency allocation on EU-harmonised range. We plan video links within that framework so they stay clean and legal — specific important in dense RF environments like central Amsterdam, where broadcast and other shoots compete for the same band.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Amsterdam's canal ring presents a physical challenge: masonry bridges and narrow streets break line-of-sight, so we place receivers and antennas with care to hold a stable link as the camera moves. The temperate maritime climate brings persistent rain, so transmitting and receiving hardware on exterior shoots in the polders and along the North Sea coast is weather-covered against moisture. For non-EU shoots, ATA Carnets clear through Dutch Customs (Douane) at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
