************************
CMR ACCENT wireless HD video sets use the Amimon Connex Mini transmitter and Amimon
Connex Mini receivers (1600 ft. LOS range), or Amimon Fusion receivers (3300 ft. LOS range),
for robust wireless HD video transmission up to 1080P(60) and zero latency. The sets are
HDMI input and output and do not transmit audio. Up to 4 receivers can be simultaneously
connected with no loss of performance.
They are essentially Plug and Play operation. Just connect an HDMI source to the transmitter,
and an HDMI display or video switcher, etc. to the receiver, and power up the units. The sets
will automatically select an available channel for operation.
This quick guide provides information about powering the sets, and an explanation of the
status LEDs, and physical features.
More information about the operation of the transmitters and receivers is provided in the
Amimon guides included with sets.
Also, the Amimon Connex Family Manual has very complete technical information and can be
found on-line with a simple google search of ‘connex family manual’, or go to
http://www.connexhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Connex_Family_Manual-en.pdf
Just remember that Amimon developed the Connex/Mini sets for the unmanned (drone)
market, and Amimon information uses the terminology ‘air unit’ for transmitter, and ‘ground
unit’ for receiver.

Power
The ACCENT transmitter (Connex Mini TX), and the ACCENT receivers (Connex Mini RX or Fusion RX) can be powered
with the BA8B lithium batteries, or with a Lemo connector power source . Power consumption for either the
transmitter or receivers is typically less than 5 watts.
BA8B Lithium Batteries
On the transmitter, connect the included short right angle Lemo cable to the Lemo power input, and the barrel
connector to the battery.
For the receivers, connect the included power cable between the receiver power port (large barrel connector) and the
BA8B battery (small barrel connector).
The BA8B battery has a pushbutton that must be pressed and held for a few seconds to turn it on. When turned on it
has 4 LED lights that indicate battery charge. When not using either the transmitter or receiver, the battery should be
turned off by pressing and holding the button for a few seconds until the battery charge LEDs go off.
Note: The battery must be turned off when being charged. Watch for the walking lights to confirm charging
is taking place. Charging time is about 3 hours.
Lemo Power
For the transmitter, connect the external power source to the Lemo connector.
For the receivers, connect the external power source to the Lemo adapter and connect the included barrel
cable between the receiver power input connector and the other side of the Lemo adapter.
If using external Lemo power it is important to make sure the connector is providing voltage of the correct polarity.
Pin 1, the red dot pin is NEGATIVE. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage TX or RX units under certain conditions
when HDMI or USB cables are connected.
Testing LEMO power polarity
The correct polarity of the Lemo connector source can be verified without worrying about damaging the Connex Mini
transmitter or receiver if the following procedure is used:
1) Unplug any HDMI or USB cables to the ACCENT transmitter or receiver.
2) Plug in the Lemo power source and look for any LED indicator on the Connex Mini transmitter or Connex Mini
receiver or Fusion receiver to come on or start blinking. If any LED comes on or starts blinking the Lemo power polarity
is correct. If no LED lights are on or blinking within a few seconds, then the polarity of the Lemo power cable is incorrect
and cannot be used.
Voltage Ratings
Transmitter: 8-26 vdc
Mini Receiver: 8-26 vdc
Fusion Receiver : 7-17 vdc (note reduced max voltage on Fusion receiver)

Network LED
Solid A link has been established to the receiver, meaning that video is
being transmitted to it (all of the receivers are powered on and in
range).
Blinks Quickly Registration is in progress, or the transmitter has gone
out of range of a receiver and is searching for it.
Blinks Slowly The transmitter is establishing a link with a receiver.
Blinks Very Slowly The transmitter is searching for an available
frequency on which to transmit.
Video LED
Solid The video signal from the camera is locked, meaning that it is
being correctly received by the transmitter from the camera. (This does
not necessarily indicate that a link exists.)
Blinks Slowly The video from the camera is not locked, meaning that
the transmitter is not receiving the video from the camera.
Blinks Quickly
The camera is transmitting a video resolution that is not supported by
the transmitter.
