ArkLink revolutionises movie-making post Covid

ArkLink revolutionises movie-making post Covid
Through the use of secure, cutting-edge technology, Remote Production enables crews to continue filming whilst being in geographically separated locations.

Underpinned by years of experience and development, CineArk has successfully deployed this technology on some of the world’s most ambitious studio feature films.

Through the use of secure, cutting-edge technology, Remote Production enables crews to continue filming whilst being in geographically separated locations. All stakeholders, wherever they are situated can be an integral part of the filming process and can securely collaborate and communicate in real-time: the camera can be located in Iceland, with the Director watching live in London and the Producers in L.A.

Key services

Point-to-point Video Streaming
Broadcast quality, direct connection of video and audio feeds between two points over the internet, providing an ultra-low delay (sub 2-frame) encrypted connection. This is perfect for connecting multiple shooting units or remote cameras to a central video village.

Remote Review
During shooting, all footage is remotely available for user-controlled playback, immediately after every take. A remotely accessible video file server provides secure shared storage for real-time collaboration between Video Operators, Editorial and VFX.

Wireless Video and RF
A bespoke range of robust wireless solutions for cameras and monitoring is available from CineArk RF. Our RF/IP technology provides the ability not only to receive pictures wirelessly on-set but also simultaneously stream footage securely over the internet to a central video village.

Live Cloud Streaming
This allows anyone (with the correct access rights), anywhere, using personal devices to securely view live camera feeds from multiple units and provides 2-way talkback. This uses a smart variable compression, enabling a stable picture even over domestic WiFi or cellular connections.

Video Over Fibre
This allows for zero-delay, uncompressed transmission of video, audio, talkback and data between 2 points up to 15km apart. This is essential for extending camera or monitor feeds and connecting stages or locations together.

CineArk has developed a reputation as a world class rental and services company supporting major motion pictures and high-end TV shows. We provide a range of bespoke rental equipment and specialist services.
