Installation

Installation details and cautions

Transmitter side

a) Install 2 Omni-directional and high efficiency antennas to Transmitter’s SMA male antenna connectors.
b) There are 3 1/4-20 screw nuts in transmitter metal case, which are located on the bottom. So the user can utilize a 1/4 screw to ISO5 I 8 hot- shoe converter fix the transmitter on camera.
c) The user can also utilize a subsidiary LEMO 2 pin male to D-Type receptacle power cable to get power input from an outside power source.

Receiver side

a) Install 5 pcs Omni-directional and high efficiency antennas to receiver’s SMA male antenna connectors.
b) The user can utilize a subsidiary LEMO 2 pin-male to D-Type receptacle power cable to get power input from an outside power source.
c) The user can also utilize the Battery plate accessory Sony U-39 or Sony NP-970 to connect the power source.

Typical connection instruction

Connect camera SDI or HDMI output to transmitter SDI or HDMI input port, and the transmitter can fixed in hot-shoe port of the camera. Connect HDMI or SDI output port of the receiver to SDI or HDMI input port of the HD monitor. Make sure all antennas ,batteries and Video cable are equipped normally.

Operation instruction

Getting started

After finishing all steps above, system is workable, follow below steps.

a) Ensure the video source output of the camera is OK, and the HD monitor is power on and switched to connected video input port.
b) Ensure all input, output SDI or HDMI cables are connected.
c) Ensure all antennas are installed, and it is better to keep TX 2 antennas and RX 5 antennas with orthogonal angle each other for best RF performance.
d) Ensure both the transmitter and receiver installed batteries or DC input ports connected to outside power sources. Then toggle power switch of transmitter and receiver to ‘ON’ respectively, then ‘Power’ screen will be light.
e) Ensure the frequency knobs of transmitter and receiver are set with the same number, and this will make sure the transmitter and receiver work with same RF frequency.
f) If the camera is on and video input is OK, TX side ‘video’ screen will be light.
g) Before RX finished wireless link with TX, the Receiver’s OLED Screen@ is not display; when wireless link is OK, the Receiver’s OLED Screen@will display, and @ will indicate the received RF signal strength. If the receiver detects normal wireless video internally from air interface, then the @ will light. Before that, if SDI or HDMI video out port of the receiver has HD monitor connected, it will display an OSD of “Link connecting …… ” like below picture.

Link Connecting…

h) The system will spend about 20 seconds on constructing communication link, and real link period will depend on the current wireless channel condition. When wireless link is set up, ® will display wireless signal strength, as well @ will light, means had receive the normal signal; then connected HD monitor will display the HD video and audio from TX module.
i) For the best wireless transmission performance, it need install the transmitter and receiver more than 1.5m about the ground and keep the same height, and make sure no obstacles between them; Moreover, it is the best to keep the transmitter antennas face to face, and don’t tum round any sides with too big angle. The real transmission distance 1s also relevant to current air electromagnetic environment, because the system works in ISM band, it is exposure to all kind od 5GHz band air interference, we suggest the users should do a manual frequency sweep by adjusting frequency selection knob with a circle before using the equipment, then choose the best frequency channel for stable performance.

Input video port selection of transmitter

The transmitter has a 3G SDI video input port and a HDMI video input port, and the system will detect valid video source automatically of SDI and HDMI port, and then switch it as main video input channel. If both SDI and HDMI have valid video inputs, the system will take SDI input as priority.

RSSI indicators

The receiver will calculate received RF signal strength internally and The OLED Screen will indicate wireless signal power and quality. The user can observe the OLED Screen status to know if the current wireless link is reliable or not.

Frequency selection and configuration

The wireless suite can work in 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and be flexibly software configured to licensed or ISM band of global different regions. Meanwhile,on the front of both transmitter and receiver have OLED Screen, press the Green Button “-” and Button “+” to adjust the channel.Please note: Transmitter and Receiver should keep in the same channel.It provide maximum 10 workable frequency channels, and support maximum 10 sets working simultaneously.

Maintenance

Storage conditions

Products storage temperature should be -20°C~60°C. For long time storage requirement, please use original carbon boxes, and avoid from high humid, acid base or dusty place.

Maintenance

Warning
To ensure your safety, place choose well-known brand DC batteries, and guarantee suitable work conditions that battery manual mentioned.

Troubleshooting

Normal problems

a) No output on display Check TX and RX power first, and see if TX or RX is powered from external power, then check if TX antennas and RX antennas are installed right. After that, check the Transmitter’s @, if TX @ is not light, then check SDI or HDMI cable is plugged in and video source is ready please. Finally may check input video format is compatible with this product specs.
b) Poor output video quality Check if SDI or HDMI input or output cable is plugged well, then checks the status of @ wireless signal strength , there should be at least 2-3 frames lit if the user want to get better video quality; if there is only 1 frames lit, that means the received wireless signal is weak, and should shorten the transmission distance.
