The most important aspect of any production is battery power. If you can monitor your batteries: status, across every battery powered device within your production, you can ensure that during a take, your gear does not go down mid-shot.
Switronix has answered that need with VoltBridge. VoltBridge is a patent pending technology, originally designed by PointZero Labs, which monitors your battery levels across up to 25 devices on one mobile device. It all is done through a small Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Transmitter/Receiver. The BLE is installed in the battery mount plates of leading manufacturers production equipment, with an app being available for iOS. Simply connect a battery pack into a VoltBridge enabled camera, monitor light, or any battery powered piece of equipment, and open the VoltBridge app. Once in the app, Scan for the Device, connect, and it pops up right on your production equipment list. From their you can rename it if you choose.
Depending on the sophistication of the battery pack, the VoltBridge BLE will provide you with at minimum the battery voltage levels. Some leading brands battery packs will present Percentage and in the most advanced packs like Hypercore, hours and minutes which correlate with the Hypercores Runtime Display will display in the app.
VoltBridge allows you to set 3 unique warning levels of your choosing based on Voltage, Percentage, OR Runtime. Once you set those levels, VoltBridge provides push notifications when you hit those levels to warn you of low battery.
VoltBridge isnt just a battery management system, VoltBridge is the future of battery power monitoring for the Professional Video and Motion Picture industry.
