SCENE 01 / WIRELESS SYSTEMS

Wireless Systems

Complete wireless infrastructure for your Portuguese production.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Wireless communication and audio transmission systems keep production teams connected and audio signals flowing without physical cables. These systems cover wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, and comms networks that are key for setting up large crews across expansive sets or locations.

Here is the short of it. We give wireless system packages configured for your production's specific communication and audio distribution needs. Our team sets up frequency planning and gear testing to make sure interference-free operation, allowing seamless crew communication and reliable audio transmission across your shoot.

Multichannel wireless across mics, IFB, comms & timecode in Portugal

Here is how this works in practice. Wireless systems on Portuguese shoots sit under ANACOM's range authority. With the rental house filing short-term production licenses and setting up frequencies against broadcast and emergency-service allocations before kit leaves the truck. Caleidoscópio Lisbon, LXmedia, Mola Activa, and Filmconnection Portugal supply the full European reference inventory: Lectrosonics SRc / DSQD and Sennheiser Digital 6000 mic racks, Comtek M-216 and Lectrosonics IFB feeds for talent and director tracking, Riedel Bolero and Clear-Com FreeSpeak II wireless intercom across the floor, and Motorola Options Iberia digital radio fleets bridging AD, sound, camera, grip, and lighting. Ambient Lockit and Deity TC-1 wireless timecode keep multi-camera units in sync. With Tentacle Sync E recorders backstopping for any drift across long ARRI Alexa 35 dailies.

Here is the short of it. Cross-border supply via Sigma Cine Madrid, ARRI Rental Madrid, and Cinegrell — five to six hours by Iberian road, no ATA carnet friction under EU rules — fills any gap on ICA-rebates-scale global features and series including Indiana Jones 5: Dial of Destiny, 1899, Glória, and Rabo de Peixe / White Lines. Live event activations and concert capture for shoots at Estádio José Alvalade, Altice Arena, or Coliseu dos Recreios layer extra Sennheiser Digital 6000 channels and Wisycom MTP60 transmitters on top of the standard kit.

Algarve and Madeira coastal saltwater corrosion forces end-of-day connector cleaning, while Alentejo summer interiors at 35-40°C push battery running discipline. European Portuguese is the on-set comms default. Spanish bridges to Iberian techs and English locks the producer track.
