Position the antennas on transmitter as shown
in the illustration. This ensures the best
possible RF performance.
Install the transmitter and the receiver as
high as possible (at least 2 metres above
ground level) to maintain a good line-of-sight.
During operation, try to keep the transmitter
and the receiver at similar heights.
Avoid obstacles such as walls, trees, water
and steel structures between transmitter and
receiver.
The connection is at its strongest when the
at surfaces of the transmitter and receiver
face each other.
The RSSI (Wireless Received Signal Strength
Indicator) display shows the strength of the
signal, allowing the operator to ensure the
system is working reliably.
Status Description
0-1 LEDs Radio signal strength is weak and
artefacts are visible in the video signal
2-3 LEDs Radio signal strength is normal and
video quality is good
4-5 LEDs Radio signal strength is very strong and
video quality is very good
1. Connect the two omni-directional
antennas to the SMA connectors on the
Transmitter.
2. Connect the ve omni directional antennas
to the SMA connectors on the Receiver.
3. Use the enclosed 4-pin male-to-D-TAP
cable to connect to a power supply with
a suitable voltage.
4. Connect an SDI or HDMI signal to the
transmitter’s SDI or HDMI input. If there is
a signal on both inputs, the transmitter will
prioritise the SDI signal.
5. Ensure you have selected the frequency
that corresponds to that of the transmitter.
Once all previous steps have been performed,
turn on the transmitter and the receiver using
the power switch.
Once the transmitter recognizes a video input,
the video format will be displayed on the LCD
screen.
It takes between 10-30 seconds for the
transmitter to connect to the receiver. During
this brief period, the receiver’s video output
displays “Waiting for connection”.

Cinema Mode
The cinema mode is an automatic mode
(indicated with “AUTO” in the fan menu) which
only works via SDI signal. The fan is switched
off at the start of recording via the record
trigger of the camera. When the recording is
nished the fan starts automatically.
Warning!
Switching off the fans may be required
in some situations, but doing this
permanently is not recommended. This
will effect the life-time of your wireless
equipment. To prevent your device from
damage, fans switch on automatically
after a reboot. If the temperature
exceeds 75 degrees Celcius, please
switch on the fans instantly. Any damage
caused by over-heating voids warranty.
