Overview
The DC-LINK-CLR2 is a high-performance WHDI video transmission system which
transmits uncompressed video and audio signals up to 300 m / 1,000 ft with no
latency (< 0.001 s delay).
NOTE: The actual transmission ranges depend on setup, alignment and a variety
of environmental influences. Also, the transmission power of the transmitter
affects the range of the receiver. Therefore, the transmission range of the
X.LINK-S1 receiver can be significantly more with a ULR1 transmitter than with
a CLR2.
Due to the conscious decision not to implement DFS (Dynamic Frequency
Selection) the device has a longer range, greater stability and better
usability than comparable systems that DO use DFS.
The transmitter and receiver both have 3G-SDI and HDMI connectors (Plug &
Play). When a video source is attached, the transmitter automatically selects
the input (SDI is prioritized). The receiver’s 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs can be
used simultaneously.

the same channel, then activate encryption on your transmitter. All receivers
will follow into encryption mode automatically. Settings remain active after
turning your devices off. This means that ENC can be prepared prior to
shooting and will stay active unless you turn it off. A linked receiver does
not HAVE to stay linked. To take a receiver out of the encrypted system,
simply turn off ENC. Then you can easily access another (unencrypted)
transmitter’s images by choosing the referring channel within seconds. To link
back to the previous (encrypted) transmitter, turn ENC on again.
IMPORTANT: Switching back and forth between two encrypted systems is not
possible. You cannot slip into an encrypted wireless system, if your receiver
was not initially linked to the transmitter. If you want to add a new receiver
to an encrypted system, you need to link the whole system again.
Reducing Transmitter Power On ULR1 and LR2 transmitters it is possible to
reduce the transmit power, for example to avoid interferences due to too short
distances. Use MENU to navigate to the transmit power display (superscript
number next to the channel display). Adjust the transmit power with + and –
and confirm with MENU. The number shows the transmit power in %. The lowest
possible transmit power is 10 %.
