The X.Link XS3 from the Austrian manufacturer DwarfConnection is a compact and nearly latency-free HDMI receiver for wireless video transmission systems with a range of 300 meters, which is compatible and works together not only with all previous and upcoming devices from Dwarf Connection, but also with DFS-free WHDI systems from other manufacturers.

The XS3 comes in a rugged aluminum housing with integrated NATO Rail, side display and rotatable NPF sandwich plate for simultaneous powering of the receiver and an external monitor with only one battery. For mounting, the receiver is equipped with a 3/8'' thread with ARRI anti-twist protection.

The XS3, thanks to predefined channels in the license-free 5GHz ISM range and the absence of DFS, can stably transmit uncompressed video signals up to 1080p60 4:4:4 with virtually no latency (< 0.001s). With the NPF sandwich plate, it is compatible with all Atomos 5" and 7" monitor/recorders. It supports basic metadata (start/stop, timecode) and has an HDMI output as well as a DC input (4-pin female) via which it can be powered. A small 0.91" OLED display shows connection information and is used to change settings using the three control buttons.
The X.Link XS3 is available now at a price of around 1,400 euros, with a delivery time of approximately 10 days.
