FROM SCENE TO SCREEN
Changing the live event experience
Introducing the world’s smallest, lightest, most energyefficient live wireless broadcast transmitter
As a world-renowned portable video equipment manufacturer, GoPro
cameras are used extensively in televised events all over the world.
Professional athletes and adventurers rely on their superior quality and
flexibility for a wide range of applications.
As an industry-leading provider of broadcast equipment,Vislink has partnered
with GoPro to develop live wireless HD video transmission solutions for
the professional broadcast market.
The result is HEROCast: a transmitter that transforms the viewing
experience.
Small enough to be worn or mounted in unique areas, HEROCast brings
unprecedented new angles to people watching their favorite live sports and
events. Some of the world’s most immersive and engaging video content can
now be viewed intimately first-hand, as if you were taking part.
For the first time, official GoPro products transmit live action in glorious
high definition. The low delay allows broadcasters to seamlessly integrate
unique camera angles into the broadcast – offering viewers a never-beforeseen perspective of the action.
HEROCast has already been showcased at popular live sporting events,
including the NHL and Winter X Games 2015. It will continue to take live
broadcasts by storm during 2015!

Vislink and GoPro’s new HEROCast takes live event viewing to another
level. Compact in design and ultra lightweight, it works together with GoPro
HERO3+Black and HERO4 cameras to ensure you experience sports and
entertainment in a revolutionary way.
Thanks to innovative technology and intelligent design, the wireless
transmitter consumes less energy than any other transmitter on the market –
and up to 50% less than its competitors. Camera and transmitter positioning
is extremely flexible. It can be mounted to a helmet, or worn on the body,
providing viewers with the same view as the participants themselves – in
stunning HD.
HEROCast is compatible with existing GoPro mounting equipment, while
remaining rugged enough to withstand even the harshest environment.
Available as both an integrated, HEROCast BacPac, and standalone
transmitter, HEROCast users enjoy the freedom to choose the right form
factor for their specific needs:
1. HEROCast standalone: mount the camera on your helmet or chest for
a first-hand view of the action.

includes a transmitter and antenna for integral action viewing.
