D : Battery plate
E: Yoke assembly
F : 3/8” Light stand adapter
OMNIDIRECTIONAL ANTENNA
The included omnidirectional antenna ( A ) can receive a signal from your
transmitter even when placed behind the Panel Antenna and supports a wider
spectrum (4.9-7.3 GHz).
TERADEK BOLT PANEL ANTENNA V.4
The Bolt Panel Antenna v.4 is your go-to solution for cutting through wireless interference in crowded environments. When attached to a Bolt 4K receiver, the antenna provides an extremely robust, directional signal that will ensure your transmission arrives uninterrupted. The Bolt Panel Antenna offers a more resilient wireless transmission, especially in challenging RF conditions, by focusing the signal and reducing interference. As a result, you may achieve a boost in the reception range but it will not be above the maximum range.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- 1x Bolt Array Antenna Assembly (Gold or V-mount)
- 5x RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA Male 4in/10cm Cable
- 1x 2dBi Omnidirectional Antenna
POWER AND CONNECT
-
Connect the output from your video source to either the SDI or HDMI input on the transmitter.
-
Attach antennas to the transmitter.
-
Mount the receiver to the back of the Panel Antenna, then connect the five RP-SMA connectors to the center connectors labeled V using the included extension cables. If the transmitter is using horizontal antennas, attach the receiver’s two outward connectors to the antenna’s two external connectors labeled H instead (see images below).
NOTE: Ensure that the 2dBi omnidirectional antenna is attached at all times when using the Panel Antenna. -
Connect power to both the transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter or optional battery plate accessory. If using a battery plate, connect a compatible (AB Gold mount or V-Lock) battery.
-
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver to the ON position. Video appears within a few seconds.
ANTENNA RECEIVE PATTERN
The Bolt Panel Antenna includes an omnidirectional antenna with a receive pattern that varies based on its distance from the transmitter. The horizontal receive angle measures 55° at 5,000 ft (1.5 km), 104° at 4,000 ft (1.25 km), and is effectively omnidirectional at up to 500 ft (150 m). The vertical receive angle measures 20° at any distance.
MOUNTING
The Bolt Panel Antenna has three 3/8” threaded holes: One on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any 3/8” mounting accessory, and one on each side to mount to a yoke mount bracket assembly.
- Mount the Panel Antenna vertically, keeping it clear of any obstructions.
- Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to each other.
- For best results, orient the Panel Antenna so the front (with the Teradek logo) has a clear line of sight to the transmitter.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS INSERTED INTO THE RECEIVER’S 3/8” THREADED HOLES. Doing so can damage the receiver’s chassis, voiding the warranty.
