Introduction

The AMNPTTX01 and AMN42012 are wireless video system comprising of a video transmitter and video receiver modules, that operate at the 5 – 6.425GHz unlicensed band.
They are based on AMIMON’s Professional chipset that consist of the AMN2130 and AMN2230 baseband receiver and the MAXIM 2850 and 2851 ICs, providing the ultimate solution for 4K Video transmission. The perfect video, audio quality, the high robustness and the invisible latency of the wireless system are unmatched by any other wireless technology and presents a true alternative to cable. The system transmits video and audio streams wirelessly and thus simplifies and eliminates system issues, such as: lip-sync, large buffers and other burdens like retransmissions or error propagation.

Board-to-Board Connector
The Interface connector provides various interfaces to communicate between the module and the MCU to configure video related parameters and settings, or receive the network status and communication related parameters.

The following interface options are available:

• External Power Supply voltage (5VDC ±10%)
• Signal Ground
• Video signal
• I2S audio interface
• I2C bus
• Indication output (Power, Network, Video Indications)
• Board attached ID pins
• UART
• USB
• SPI

Host manufacturers are advised to contact Amimon to request the complete pin allocation and functional description of the interface board.

Installation

• The modules are designed to be integrated with any compatible Video Interface Board (VIB), to provide a complete wireless Video Solution.
• At common application, the VIB shall provide standard video interface that can be connected to standard video monitor. This video interface may be HDMI, HD-SDI or any other standard or custom video interface.
• It is advised to verify compatibility of the VIB to the interface connector type, pin functionality, and signal compatibility of the modules, before initiating the installation.
• At installation, make sure that the modules are firmly attached and secured to the VIB by proper mechanical means.
• Installation of the modules must provide the adequate heat dissipation means to provide the modules ambient temperature within the product operating conditions as specified.
• See ‘Product Description’ for port location described in this section.
• Connect AMIMON modules to the compatible Video Interface Board (VIB).
• Connect the antennas to the modules. Only use antennas provided by AMIMON
• Connect the receiver VIB to a video monitor through the supported video interface of the VIB.
• Connect the transmitter VIB to a video source (for example, camera) through the supported video interface of the VIB.

1. Power ON the VIB according to its operating manual.

2. Set the Antenna orientation of the receiver module to perform optimal performance:
   One option is to separate the antennas to match the picture. Receiving antennas should be oriented in the same plane as the transmitting antenna.

3. If the devices are not paired to each other, press the “pairing” button on each module.

Note: For maximal range

• Keep line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver.
• Avoid placing any obstacles besides the transmitter or the receiver.
• Position both transmitter and receiver in an upwards position, for enhanced antennas performance.
• Mount the modules with proper air ventilation.
• Use only approved accessories recommended by Amimon
• Avoid Co-location: Place the modules and their antennas as far away as possible from other transceiver devices, 20cm separation is a minimal distance unless otherwise specified in the Grant.
• Avoid Proximity to Metal Objects: The antennas must be at least 7 cm away from any metal object.
