Kinefinity

Unfortunately the app is a bit convoluted in that it doesn’t consistently work. The features that are implemented seem nice in theory but person they should contract someone to write the app and ensure proper functionality at this point. The cameras are amazing but at this point you’re almost forced to utilize additional hardware to consistently be able to view the work in near real time or with a client. I give it two stars because the promised features are designed well in theory. The execution just leaves much to be desired.

This app has never been functional for me. I followed every step in the set up have all the devices connected to Wi-Fi but the app fails connect to anything. I’ll also be screenshotting the clearly fake review in this App Store.

This wireless Solution solves all our problems. It has extremely detailed control over the camera as expected with an app developed by the manufacturer themselves. No more messing with control cables for other brands’ wireless products and worrying about their reliability and whether they even collaborate with Kinefinity to make them at all or not. Truly a savior for assistants and gimbal users. The system total latency is well controlled around 100ms. (Assuming you don’t use Too Old apple devices) Maybe it doesn’t sound that good, but let me remind you it’s the latency of the entire system. The lowest latency I’ve seen off of any WiFi based video transmitter is around 55ms (Accsoon’s new CineEye 2 series, shameless ad plug haha.) But this is, Comparing to a monitor connected to the same video source, meaning that when you really use it, the latency of the camera reading out the data from the sensor and processing it them send it out via hdmi or SDI will add to the total systemic latency. Usually 50ms and more for Proper cameras and 100ms and more for DSLRs I used. The recent firmware adding h264 playback files is actually mostly meant for this. Now the Camera will encode a h264 stream alongside with your ProRes files, and send it directly to your phone or in your local network as an SRT video stream. The ability to connect to other WiFi networks is the big deal, you no longer too need to temporarily sacrifice the connection to internet on your monitoring devices, and you can even use this srt stream to do wireless online streaming. With a 4G or 5G portable WiFi router, you can use Kinefinity cameras to stream on the go! (Hats down for the poor celebrities and artists, they’ll have much shorter time to live as themselves in the future, imagine having to stream their personal lives 24hrs, but in cinema quality!) Please know that now the camera scans QR code instead of letting you choose a network and dialing in the password. Instead you need a WiFi connection QR code generator that takes SSIDs and passwords and translate them to QR. Some android phones already does this and for apple users, there are some websites that does the job for you. Okay I’m a bit zoned out and lost myself over here. Where was I, okay I totally forgot. Oh yeah you need kineOS 6.5 or later, the new firmware will activate WiFi connection ability on older Terra 4K, and you MUST install an antenna for the camera to connect to any WiFi source or create a WiFi hotspot for your p
