During times of social distanced filmmaking, multi-device monitoring is a necessary feature for many production crews. However, it’s hard to come by an affordable multi-device transmitter. Accsoon’s Cineeye 2S is a unique exception.

In total, Accsoon’s Cineeye 2S supports up to 4 iOS or Android devices at a range of up to 150m (about 500ft). The device will work well for socially distanced productions, allowing people like the director and producers to see the image live on set at a distance.
