Marshall Electronics introduces its first products for professional broadcast and A/V applications
MUMBAI: Marshall Electronics has announced that its newly formed Wireless Division is developing a number of solutions for professional broadcast, audio, and video applications.
Marshall Electronics’ new Wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver system brings together its high quality audio with its new cutting-edge video technology for remote DSLR monitoring and audio-visual solutions. The system’s range of 300ft. improves the limited HDMI cable distance up to 10 times. The 300ft range does not require a direct line of sight.
The Wireless Monitor System is available with the V-LCD70MDW 7” camera-top field monitor or V-LCD90MDW 9” camera-top field monitor. With each monitor, the user has the choice of two wireless receiver battery mounting plates: the V-ABR when using Anton-Bauer batteries or the V-VMR when using the IDX style V-Mount batteries.
A third receiver option is the VWHR, a standalone receiver that can be used with any monitor and a WHDI transmitter.
The monitors work with two available transmitters. The V-WHT-A stick transmitter plugs directly into the camera and draws power from the camera’s HDMI port. The V-MHT-B belt pack transmitter can use a variety of small DSLR or camcorder batteries.
In addition to wireless monitors, Marshall has released the FR-500WK Wireless Professional Portable Audio System under the MXL brand. It is a belt pack system consisting of a compact, battery-operated transmitter and a receiver with a unique built-in speaker for extra versatility. The receiver is mountable directly onto a DSLR camera.

PRCI appoints Baldev Raj as Delhi chapter chairman
Six-month leap signals push for bold, AI-led shift in communications strategy
NEW DELHI: Public Relations Council of India has appointed Baldev Raj as chairman of its Delhi chapter, marking a swift elevation just six months after he took on the role of vice chairman.
The move comes amid growing churn in the communications industry, with trust deficits and misinformation reshaping how brands engage with audiences. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, public trust in institutions continues to decline, while concerns around misinformation remain high.
Industry insiders say Raj’s rapid rise reflects the momentum he has built at Prius Communications, which has picked up five major industry awards in the past four months. His appointment signals PRCI’s intent to bring sharper, more future-facing leadership to the fore.
Under his leadership, the Delhi chapter is set to roll out a series of initiatives aimed at repositioning public relations as a strategic business function. These include an AI ethics and integration framework, a C-suite advisory council, and a revamped young communicators programme focused on mentorship and leadership development.
Commenting on the appointment, Public Relations Council of India chairman emeritus and chief mentor M. B. Jayaram said, “This wasn’t a question of succession; it was a question of strategic necessity. Baldev’s track record of innovation made it clear that we needed his vision and velocity at the helm now.”
For his part, Baldev Raj framed the role as a turning point for the profession. “Our profession stands at a crossroads. We can either be consumed by the tidal wave of AI-generated noise, or become the strategists who restore trust and clarity,” he said. He added that the focus will be on a ‘human plus machine’ approach, blending artificial intelligence with human insight.
Raj, founder of Prius Communications, operates across reputation management and strategic advisory, with specialised verticals in healthcare and brand consulting.
With this leadership shift, PRCI appears to be betting on speed, strategy and a stronger voice for communicators at the decision-making table.
