Frequently asked Questions about Qtake Monitor

<Back to Qtake HD page

What is the difference between the Stream module and the Copra module?

COPRA allows ipad clients to access and playback h.264 files recorded by Qtake
HD. This is very handy for Script and VFX to pull up shots without interrupting
the qtake operator. It is Playback only! No Live.
And you need a Mac Pro to record H.264 simultaneously.
Qtake Monitor will only monitor the Qtake in live or playback but the iPad
client cannot initiate a playback from your folder like Copra.

What hardware do I need to use this?

No additional hardware is needed if you have a good wifi network in place.

Do I need Teradek Cube?

For input from a cube only! The Cube is not used for monitoring to ipads.
The stream module was originally written to allow the Mac to receive and record
picture in the Qtake from a Teredek Cube TX without the need for a Teredek Cube
RX. This function is still there but there is some delay from the camera to
Qtake using this method.

What is the Range?

This will depend on the range of your wifi network you are
on.

What if there is no WiFi available?

You can easily setup a wifi router and create a private network which I am
recommending anyway so that the only traffic on your network is the Qtake
Monitors. The better the router and it's antennas the better your network will
be.

What is the price of the stream module?

$2200

Will it work with my earlier version of Qtake? No.  You need to update to the
latest version. v1.1.045 released today.  And update your AJA Drivers to 10.4.9 for ioXT and to 10.4.5  for Kona 3 and 3G cards.

Is there sound to the Ipad Speaker?

No. It is a one way talkback from the
ipad you choose to listen to.

Do I need the latest computer for this to work?

No. There are settings to reduce
the picture quality for slower machines and for slower networks.
