The device has met the FCC 15.247 requirement. In order to comply with the FCC RF

exposure requirement, the user must keep 20cm away from the antenna.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

About the 150M

The Ghost-Eye 150M Wireless HDMI/SDI Transmission Suite utilizes today's most

advanced wireless video transmission technology, broadcasting uncompressed 3G

SDI/HDMI HD video signals with zero delay. The suite includes one transmitter and

one receiver; where the transmitter provides a 3G SDI/HDMI HD input, the receiver

provides 3G SDI/HDMI output. The Ghost-Eye 150M suite has 2 external stick

antennas on the transmitter and 5 internal antennas inside the receiver. The

transmission suite functions in the 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and can be flexibly

configured to licensed or ISM band frequencies around the globe. The side panel of

the transmitter and receiver units have a frequency selection knob that provides a

maximum of 4 workable frequency channels, and supports a maximum of 4 simultane-

ous receiver units per transmitter unit. The wireless suite can accommodate a wide

range of DC power input, including many kinds of camera battery models. The suite

1) Ensure the video source output of the camera is OK, and the HD monitor is

powered on and switched to connected video input port.

2) Ensure 2 TX antennas are installed, preferably with an orthogonal angle to each

other for best RF performance, as in figure below.

3) Ensure all input, output SDI or HDMI cables are connected.

4) Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are powered via battery or DC

input. Then turn power switch of the transmitter and receiver, respectively, to

‘ON’. The ‘Power’ indicator will then light.

5) Ensure the frequency knobs of transmitter and receiver are set with the

same number, this will make sure the transmitter and receiver work with

same RF frequency.

6) If the camera is on and video input is OK, TX side 'video' indicator will light

7) Before RX finished wireless link with TX, 4 “RSSI” indicators and “Video”

indicators are off; when wireless link is OK, “RSSI” indicators will light first,

and “RSSI” will indicate the received RF signal strength. If the receiver

detects wireless video normal internally from air interface, “Video” indicator

will light. Before that, if SDI or HDMI video out port of the receiver has HD

monitor connected, it will display an OSD of “Link Connecting……” as in the

figure below.

8) The system will spend 20-30 seconds constructing the link, depending on link

strength and the signal channel condition. When wireless link is established the

“RSSI” light will illuminate, indicating the current wireless signal strength, “Video”

indicators will light, and the connected HD monitor will be playing the real-time

video and audio.

The wireless suite works in the 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and can be flexibly

configured to other licensed or ISM bands to accommodate different global regions.

The side panel of the transmitter features a frequency selection knob (see below

illustration), which provides a maximum of 4 workable frequency channels, and

supports a maximum of 4 simultaneous receiver units.
