Extend the Transmission
Introduction to Panel Antenna
A panel antenna is a type of directional antenna, which can be used to extend the system’s
transmission range, but the trade-off is that the panel antenna has a transmission angle of
45 degrees.
RTSP Streaming Mode Operation
Using RTSP streaming mode needs software decoding, which means images are
transmitted through the receiver’s LAN port to streaming media software to decode
and display. Moreover, there are many kinds of streaming media existing. The following
description takes VLC media player for example. Once the transmitter and receiver are
connected, the transmitter’s network indicator will be turned on, and the receiver’s
OLED screen will display the signal status. Then connect transmitters to the video
sources, and connect the receiver to RTSP streaming devices through a LAN port.
Take VLC media player for example, after opening VLC, choose “Open Network Stream”,
enter “rtsp://192.168.1.xxx/h265/ch01/main/av_stream”, click “play”, which starts
RTSP streaming.
Important reminder: The IP Address (e.g. the one used by the PC) of the RTSP streaming
device must be on the same network segment as that of the encoding board. Otherwise,
the RTSP streaming mode will not work.
1. Mount the attached bracket on the panel
antenna with screws.

Important Reminders
Installation height and interval distance
1) Two conditions need to be met for a transmission distance of 800 meters.
First, orient each antenna to have a clear line of sight. Second, each channel needs
to be set to 4Mbps bitstream.
Gain Mode
You can set LNA at low gain mode in a wide-open line-of-sight environment with a
distance of 300 meters distance. You can set the LNA at high gain mode when you
want to transmit a signal through walls and far away from 300 meters
.
2) To achieve even better range performance, all the transmitters should be at a
distance of 1.5-2 meters above the ground, while the receiver should be at least
2 meters above the ground.
3) When multiple transmitters are used simultaneously, please ensure that they
are at least 1 meter apart.
4) When the receiver and other wireless devices are used simultaneously, please
keep them at least 2 meters apart to prevent possible interference.
26 27

28 29
Channel Settings
1) When one system is in use, it is recommended to set the channel at CH5-CH9.
Because in most Wi-Fi coverage environments, the high and low frequency is
mostly used, while somewhere between is rarely used. The middle frequencies
have low occupancy rates, which effectively avoids co-channel interference.
Once the channel scanning function is enabled, it could quickly help to select
the best possible channel from the available channel list.
2) When two systems are used simultaneously, the receivers must be placed at least
1 meter apart. Once the 80MHz operating mode is enabled, system one is set at
CH5, and system two must be set at CH7, CH8, or CH9. It is recommended to keep
them at least one channel apart. Once the channel scanning function is enabled, it
could quickly help to select the best possible channel from the available channel list.
3) When multiple systems are used simultaneously, the receivers must be placed at
least 1 meter apart. Once the 80MHz operating mode is enabled, system one is
set at CH5, system two is set at CH7, and system three is at CH9. It is recommended
to keep them at least one channel apart. Once the channel scanning function is
enabled, it could quickly help to select the best possible channel from the available
channel list.
Environmental Interference
The following environments will downgrade wireless transmission quality, resulting in
image and audio misalignment (such as image freeze, noise).
1) Walls, large sheets of metal, and various instruments will downgrade wireless transmission.
Try to avoid using this system in these environments.
Cable Connection
2) Please connect the transmitter to the video source with an HDMI cable firstly.
Once the receiver and the monitor are connected, then you can switch them on.
2) Using this system in crowded areas, please place the transmitter and the receiver at a
height of around 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground.
3) If 5GHz wireless devices are used nearby, these may also increase interference. It can
be solved by switching to a different channel manually or automatically.
4) Please do not place this system in a metal container environment, because it will
downgrade wireless transmission. If it is unavoidable, please ensure that each
antenna has a clear line of sight.
1) Please do not hot plug the HDMI cable of the powered system during use.

Installation of Product and Antenna
1) When installing the magic arm, please fix the transmitter in a direction you want,
then twist the magic arm to fix it on the camera. If you rotate the transmitter to
fix it, the magic arm will not be easily demounted from the transmitter.
2) Please install the antennas before powering on the system.
3) To achieve even better range performance, please arrange the antennas to be
fan-shaped and ensure each has a clear line of sight.
30 31
Battery Duration
Take the NPF-970 battery for example, a transmitter with 12W of power
consumption, it will last about 3-4.5 hours.
Important reminder: Depending on the specfic usage, the values may vary slightly.
