Initial interface (One-to-one mode)
When no signal input, the transmitter is consistent with the receiver display content. See Fig. 1

Initial interface (One-to-one mode)
When Transmitter and receiver video signal connection normal, the transmitter is consistent with the receiver display content. See Fig. 2

Initial interface (One-to-multi mode)
When the transmitter has no signal input, see Fig. 3

Initial interface (One-to-multi mode)
When the transmitter video signal is connected normally, as shown in Fig. 4

Initial interface (One-to-multi mode)
When the receiver has no signal input, see Fig. 5

Initial interface (One-to-multi mode)
When the receiver video signal is connected normally, as shown in Fig. 6

Tips:

1. Using joy stick(up and down) to change frequency channel,7 channel in total.
2. After changing to one-to-multi mode, There will be a “M” show on the bottom

Interface changing

• Changing interface in transmitter via using joystick(left and right),see fig .7.8.9.
• Changing interface in receiver via using joystick(left and right),see fig .7.9.
  
  
  

Tips:

1. The menu content of transmitter and receiver is different: Quality mode and wall through mode can only be selected in transmitter, see fig.8
2. The“MULTI CAST” should change to“ON” in both transmitter and receiver to open one-to-multi mode.(Both transmitter and receiver need to choose “MULTICAST ON”)
3. Support firmware upgrading via USB interface.
4. Both transmitter and receiver support manually switch frequency channel.
5. Factory setting is “MULTICAST OFF”.
6. Choose “MULTICAST ON”(The transmitter need to pair with every receiver before using one-to-mufti mode)

Pairing

1. Switch on both FLOW2000 transmitter and receiver; The “POWER” indicator fight in every receiver should light up when there are multiple receiver, Waiting for jumping to main interface.
2.  Right pushing the joystick to “PAIR” interface and choose “YES” in both transmitter and receiver, the“LINK”indicator flashing quickly during pairing(Every receiver should pair with the transmitter separately when using one-to-multi mode) .
3. “LINK” indicator will stop flashing after pairing successful. Device in encrypted transmission state.

Tips:

1. Transmitter and receiver should pair in the same time. Every receiver should be paired with the transmitter separately when using one-to-multi mode.
2. Make sure every receiver have already paired successful before using one-to-multi mode.
3. The paired receiver and transmitter, automatically connected after boot, no need to pair again.
4. Keep 1-2 m distance between transmitter and receiver when pairing to avoid pairing failure.
5. Do not using more than 4 group wireless transmission device to avoid disturbing

Connection

1. Connecting SDI IN/HDMI IN interface of FLOW2000 transmitter with SDI OUT/HDMI OUT interface of camera or video output device. Connecting SDI loop out interface of FLOW2000 transmitter with SDI IN interface of monitor or switcher.

2. Connecting SDI OUT interface of FLOW2000 receiver with SDI IN interface of monitor or 5Witcher.
   When using one-to-multi mode, every SDI OUT interface of receiver should be connected with SDI IN interface of monitor orswitcher.

3. Switch on both FLOW2000 transmitter and receiver, “Power”indicator light up, OLED screen show“WAlT…“then jump to initial interface, see fig.1 or fig.3;Wait until “Link” and “Video” indicator light up, the transmitter and receiver have identifiable signal inputs and connected successfully. If the transmitter and receiver have identifiable signal inputs but fail to establish a connection, the “link” indicator will flash.

Tips:

1. After powering the FLOW2000 transmitter and receiver, dial the power switch on the product to “on””
2. FLOW2000 transmitter support SDI video signal input and HDMI video signal input, the System automatically identify input video interfaces. System will choose SDI video Signal when both HDMI and SDI interface is connected.
3. When multiple receivers are used simultaneously in the same environment, ensure that multiple wireless devices have identifiable Signal input.

High quality mode & Wall through mode

1. Connecting SDI IN/HDMI IN interface of FLOW2000 with SDI OUT/HDMI OUT interface of camera or video output device. Connecting SDI loop out interface of FLOW2000 transmitter with SDI IN interface of monitor or switcher.

2. When using one-to-multi mode, every SDI OUT interface of receiver should be connected with SDI IN interface of monitor orswitcher.

3. Switch on both FLOW2000 transmitter and receiver, every receiver should be switch on when using one-to-multi mode. “Power”indicator light up, OLED screen show“WAlT…”then jump to initial interface, see fig.1 or fig.3;Wait until “Link” and “Video” indicator light up, the transmitter and receiver have identifiable Signal inputs and connected successfully, right push the joystick to“PREF”interface, See fig.11.
   

4. It is recommended to choose high quality mode for wireless devices under normal operating conditions, such as better environment, stronger signal, or more than one set of wireless devices under the same scene.

5. Wall through mode is recommended for wireless devices under complex operating conditions, such as poor on-site environments, high distance barriers and only 1-2 sets of wireles5 devices in the same scene.
   (If more than one set is used in the same scene, it is recommended to use a high quality mode to reduce interaction)

Tips:

1. When wireless devices under normal operating condition, choose High quality mode can get a better video quality, but transmission distance will be cut.
2. When wireless devices under complex operating condition, choose Wall through mode can get a long transmission distance, but the video quality will be cut.

The way to get the best effective of wireless Transmission

1. Set the antenna on both transmitter and receiver vertically straight up.(See Fig.12), Set the receiver faces the transmitter to extend the transmission distance and stabilize the transmission quality.
   

2. Set the receiver as high as possible to avoid interference.
   

3. Avoid walls, trees and water.
   

Troubleshooting

If the receiver failed to output video correctly, the possible causes are as below; please find the solution from following chart:

and switch on the transmitter and receiver
The antennas are not installed properly and screwed tightly| Install the antennas properly and screw tightly of both transmitter and receiver
Bad connection of video cable| Check video cable connection of both transmitter and receiver
Video format is not supported| Change the output video format of the camera
Poor Video quality| Bad connection with video cable| Reconnect reliably
The wireless transmission is disturbed by environment| Wait for 1 minute or reboot the transmitter and receiver
The transmission distance is out of effective range| Close the transmitter to the receiver
