The Accsoon CineEye is a probably one of the best piece of communication gear for a small multicam team especially for livecast using Picture-in-Picture compositing.
When using split screens in software like OBS or Vmix, it is difficult to communicate to camera operators exactly what part of their frame is used in a split-screen/multi-window since they cannot view the final mix.
The Accsoon CineEye solves this problem by sending out the programme feed wirelessly to the cameramen's smartphone with very little latency.
Up to 4 phones can be linked to the CineEye wifi network. If the cineEye is connected to the preview feed, all cameramen will be able to see each other's angle and know which camera is LIVE without the director's verbal cue. Note that the CineEye cannot transmit audio, so comms headset is still needed to pre-empt cameramen. But for just $300, the CineEye is a no-brainer for any multicam set-up.
CAVEAT: Having tested the CineEye, the phone matters plenty. With a Samsung S8 and a HuaWei P20 Pro, the Accsoon works as advertised with a delay of about 1 second. With a iPad mini 2 and Ipod touch, the delay was an abysmal 6 seconds. With a Samsung J5, I can't even connect to the Accsoon network.
