Save Time and Cost

Users can transmit proxy files via Wi-Fi/3G/4G/LTE from field locations 
immediately after shooting.  This saves considerable time and cost of 
content delivery, especially when the task is time critical.  Also, if the 
camcorder is not able to create proxy data - the wireless adapter can 
create an XAVC proxy file which is compatible with most general viewer 
applications.  In addition, high-resolution files can be transferred using 
the USB connection*

Simple Installation

It’s easy to install the adapter to Sony’s existing camcorders and decks 
using BNC and DC power cables.  For even simpler connection, the  
CBK-WA101 is designed especially for the PMW-400, requiring no cable 
connections of BNC and DC power cables at all, just an easy attach/
detach mechanism.
When the wireless adapter is connected to camcorders/decks using a 
USB cable, users can enjoy the full features of the adapter such as high 
resolution file transmission, basic remote camera control, wireless 
adapter status indication on the viewfinder and more.

The wireless adapter can be used with the following models: 

PMW-500/400/300/200/160/50 (with USB connection)
PMW-320, PDW-F800/700 (with HD-SDI connection) 

In response to the rapidly growing demand for faster and cost efficient IT and 
network operation, Sony is proud to introduce the CBK-WA100/CBK-WA101 to 
enhance the field operation and workflow.  Both wireless adapters support 
Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, and LTE transmission to meet the needs of most shooting 
environments, promptly transmitting both proxy data and high-resolution*
