SCENE 01 / WIRELESS SYSTEMS
Wireless Systems
Complete wireless infrastructure for your German production.
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless communication and audio transmission systems keep production teams connected and audio signals flowing without physical cables. These systems cover wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, and comms networks that are key for setting up large crews across expansive sets or locations.
Here is the short of it. We give wireless system packages configured for your production's specific communication and audio distribution needs. Our team sets up frequency planning and gear testing to make sure interference-free operation, allowing seamless crew communication and reliable audio transmission across your shoot.

Multi-Channel Wireless: Sennheiser Hannover, Teradek Video & ARRI WCU-4 Lens Control
Here is how this works in practice. Complete wireless ecosystems across Germany combine audio, video, intercom, and lens control under a single set up RF plan. We field Sennheiser Hannover-built Digital 6000 + EW-DX audio wireless, Teradek Bolt 6 LT and Bolt 6 4K video links for ALEXA 35/LF/Mini LF + Sony VENICE 2 + RED V-Raptor tracking, Riedel Bolero wireless intercom beltpacks (manufactured in Wuppertal. Riedel is the global leader in broadcast intercom), and ARRI WCU-4 + Preston FIZ + Tilta Nucleus lens control systems built around the same Munich engineering custom.
Here is the short of it. Each system is pre-coordinated through Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA) short-term frequency licenses well before shoot days. This has on-site RF scanning to check clean operation against Deutsche Telekom + Vodafone + O2 5G cellular saturation and DVB-T2 HD broadcast traffic that fluctuates in real time across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Köln urban environments.
Here is the breakdown. Heritage Babelsberg global shoots (Inglourious Basterds 2009, Cloud Atlas 2012, Bridge of Spies 2015, Captain America: Civil War 2016, Matrix Resurrections 2021, Argylle 2024) plus All Quiet on the Western Front (Berger 2022) shown the full multi-channel discipline now standard on each DFFF/GMPF rebates project: 24+ audio channels, 4-6 wireless video transmitters, dedicated stunt + helicopter planning channels, and ARRI WCU-4 lens-control frequencies kept clear of audio bands.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Studio Babelsberg + Bavaria Film + MMC Köln + Studio Hamburg run in-house RF coordinators (frequency Tonmeister and broadcast engineers) who liaise directly with BNetzA and DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung when airborne work intersects. Cross-border supplements arrive same-week from London ARRI Rental + Vienna + Vantage Film Munich + Cinerent Berlin under EU Schengen free movement via Frankfurt FRA, Munich MUC, Berlin BER, and Köln-Bonn CGN cargo corridors.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you coordinate?
We set up all production wireless systems including microphones, IFB/IEM, wireless video, lens control, intercom, and any other RF gear. Full planning makes sure all systems work together without interference.
How do you handle frequency allocation?
We scan your locations, identify clean frequencies within German legal range, and allocate channels to all departments. We give frequency records and work with each department to program their gear.
What about wireless video systems?
We supply Teradek Bolt, Vaxis Storm, and other wireless video systems for video village distribution. These give zero-latency transmission allowing directors and clients to monitor without cables.
Do you provide wireless lens control?
Yes, we supply wireless follow focus systems including Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus. We make sure lens control frequencies are set up with other wireless systems.
What about German RF regulations?
We're familiar with German frequency rules and make sure all wireless gear operates within legal range. We can advise on sign-ups needs for high-power systems.
Can you support large-scale productions?
Yes, we often support shoots with dozens of wireless channels across many departments. Complex shoots gain most from full RF planning.
