POWER AND CONNECT
-
Connect the output from your video source to the SDI input (D) on the ACE transmitter. Connect the SDI or HDMI output (C or L) from the ACE receiver to the video input on your monitor.
NOTE: If mounted upright on a stand above the monitor, use a right-angle SDI adapter to relieve any strain caused by the weight of the cable, and to avoid damaging the SDI output’s internal connectors. -
Connect power to the transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter, or if ACE is equipped with a battery plate accessory, connect a compatible battery (L series or LP E6).
-
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (B) to the ON position. Video appears within a few seconds.
DEVICE OPERATION
- Keep the transmitter and receiver at close range for 60 seconds after powering on the devices. This allows them to scan for and select the best wireless channel.
- For best results when using multiple ACE or Bolt systems in the same area, place the transmitters and receivers a few feet apart from each other.
- Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with ACE. Try to separate other wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.
POWER CONNECTOR/PIN-OUT
ACE uses a 2−pin power connector
| Pin | Description |
|---|---|
| 1* | GND |
| 2 | +DC |
Pin 1 is closest to the red dot on the connector
CUSTOM/THIRD PARTY CABLES
- Test the power cable polarity with ONLY the power cable connected to Ace.
- Check the power cable for shorts and proper grounding.
- Do not connect video cables.
CAUTION: Using a reverse polarity or improperly−constructed power cable can damage the product and is not covered under warranty.
MOUNTING
Ace has a 1/4”-20 threaded hole on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any other mounting accessory.
- Mount the transmitter vertically, keeping the antennas clear of any obstructions.
- For best results, orient the transmitter antennas so each one has clear line−of−sight to the receiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS INSERTED INTO THE TRANSMITTER’S 1/4”-20 THREADED HOLE. Doing so can damage the transmitter’s chassis and internal components, voiding the warranty.
