Product Features

BeamLink-Ultimate is an upgraded version of the BeamLink Quad that adds voice intercom capabilities. It is a set of 4TX-to-1RX full-HD audio and video wireless transmission system and wireless voice intercom system. The 4-channel image transmission and voice intercom share one wireless channel and supports the highest video resolution of 1080P/60Hz. This system is based on 5G wireless network technology for transmission, along with advanced 4×4 MIMO and Beam-Forming technology. Image processing is performed using H.264 technology, and thus the images has higher resolution and the latency is lower. It is the best companion for the director to shoot, using advanced VoIP technology, integrated with voice intercom function, which is clear in voice and easy to carry. The transmitteris CP7081, and the receiver is the combination of CP3060 and CP3081, which are connected via a network cable.

Brief Introduction

• High-quality and ultra low latency
  This product supports HD-SDI&3G-SDI input and output as well as HDMI full-HD input and output, with the highest resolution of 1080P/60Hz. With highest compress ratio and best video resolution using H.264 technology, and the latency is as low as 70ms.

• 4 transmitters and 1 receiver share one wireless channel
  This product supports 4 video streams input simultaneously, with resolution up to 1080P60 per channel. 4 video streams share one wireless channel, which greatly saves spectrum resources and provides great convenience for users to perform multi-camera shooting.

• Beam-Forming
  Combined with 4×4 MIMO and Beam-Forming technology, this product has advantages over other WiFi products in the market in terms of transmission distance and video resolution. Beam-Forming technology makes wireless signals more concentrated and stronger in the direction from which they are transmitted to the receiver, allowing them to transmit farther and be less susceptible to interference from other signals, thus making them more stable.

• Support RS232/422
  This product supports transparent controlling transmission device via RS232/422 interface, which is convenient for users to control the remote device through the local device at the receiving terminal, such as the PTZ.

Streaming Function

• When the receiver is set to streaming mode, the transmitter needs to switch to streaming mode. At this time, the word “RTSP” is displayed on the transmitter’s OLED display, the SDI and HDMI ports at the receiver have no video output, and the video is transmitted to the streaming media software through the LAN port of the receiver for decoding .
• In this mode,video is decoded using software .And there are lots of IP based decoding software on market. The following is an example of common VLC streaming media software:After the transmitter and receiver build a network connection, the transmitter network indicator is always on, the receiver network connection display normal; the transmitter is connected to the HDMI or SDI video source, and the receiver’s network port is connected to the streaming device.
• Take the VLC on PC as an example. After running VLC, select to turn on the network stream.Fill in the address “rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx/media/live/0”, where xx.xx.xx.xx is the corresponding transmitter IP address. Click “Play” to start.
• Note that the transmitter must be connected to the video source, and the IP address of the device runing VLC (such as a computer) must be the same network segment as the IP address of the encoding board. Otherwise, the streaming will fail.

Encoder/Decoder Configuration and Upgrading

Each transmitter has one encoder, and its configuration and software upgrading need to be implemented on its encoder . Since the receiver has four decoders, the configuration and software upgrading need to be implemented on its each decoder respectively.
Keep the computer connected to the receiver through LAN port, and keep the receiver connected with all transmitters normally. Each transmitter has one wireless transmission module and one encoder. Receiver has one wireless transmission module and four decoders. All modules and each encoder/decoder have their respective IP address as follows, and all configuration and upgrading operation must be implemented under its own IP address.

Trouble Shooting

and the transmission effect is the best;
If mosaic, jams, smear or frame loss appear during use| The LNA mode is set in H (high-gain mode);

When multiple transmitters work at the same time, ensure that the transmitters are at least 1m apart from each other;

 | If there is still a mosaic or a jam, switch the product frequency to the other frequency channel.

If in/ out video

|

Confirm the software version of the encoder and decoder

matching or display| is confirmed to be too old, it is necessary to upgrade
compatibility related| the software.

If there is no connection during use, It is divided into 2 cases:

| In close range situation(TX-to-RX<2m), if the transmitter and receiver are connected to 4 antennas, the distance needs to be extended to 5m, and the LNA mode should be set to L (low-gain mode); when multiple transmitters work at the same time, ensure that the transmitters

are at least 1m apart from each other;

In the long-distance situation, lift the transmitter and receiver as high as possible, to 1.5-2m or more; the antenna is fan-shaped and facing for ward,the LNA mode is set to H (high-gain mode); when multiple transmitters works at the same time, ensure that the transmitters

are at least 1m apart from each other.

When the receiving terminal cannot hear the other party’s voice when speaking one-on-one

| a: Confirm whether it is in one-to-one mode;

b: Press the “ALL” button again, and then press the button at the corresponding transmitting terminal;

c: Whether the headphones are loose; and

d: Whether the headphones malfunction, try again after replacing the headphones.

Precautions

1. If transmitter or/and receiver use HDMI cable:(a~f)
   • a. Do not plug in or pull out the HDMI cable of the transmitter and receiver during normal use.
   • b. Connect the transmitter to the video source and connect receiver to
   • a monitor via HDMI and then power on the transmitter and receiver.
   • c. When the OSD prompts that code matching fails after trying code matching, reboot the transmitter and receiver to see whether they can be connected normally. Perform code matching again when it is still unable to be connected after restarting.
   • d. When there is no video appear on display after change video resolution parameters on transmitter, pull out and then plug in the HDMI cable of the transmitter or receiver.If there is still no video appear, power off and restart the transmitter and receiver.
   • e. When the network cannot be connected for a long time after switching frequency channel, reboot the transmitter and receiver.
   • f. When the transmitter and receiver devices are connected normally, there is no output on the monitor at the receiver, or the video output is abnormal, re-plug the HDMI cable of the receiver and check whether the monitor is changed to standby mode. If it is still unable to output normally after the above operation, try to replace the display device.
2. If there is a picture jam or mosaic during use, it is generally caused by interference in the network. Therefore, try switching the network frequency channel to avoid the interference band. For the frequency channel switching operation,please refers to the frequency channel switching operation instructions.
