Operation instruction
Gettingstarted
Afterfinishingall thestepsabove, thesystem isreadytouse. See below
for thefollowing steps.
a) Ensure the source output of the camera is OK and the monitor
is powered on. Then switch tothe connected video input.
b) Ensure input and output SDI or HDMI cables are connected.
c) Ensure 2 TX antennas are installed perpendicular to each other for best RF
performance. See below.
Transmitter
d) Ensure that the batteries are installed on boththe transmitter and receiver
or connected via the DC input port toan outside power source. Then turn
power switch of transmitter and receiver to 'ON', then the 'Power' indicator
will turn on.

Installation
e) Ensure the frequency knobs of transmitter and receiver are set to the
same number. This will ensure that the transmitter and receiver will be
set to the sameRFfrequency.

h) The system will spend 20-30 seconds on establishing the link, actual link
period will depend on the current wireless channel condition.When the
wireless link is set up the "RSSI" light will light up and indicate current
wireless signal strength. The "Video" indicators will also illuminate and then
the connected HD monitor will displaythe video and audio accordingly.

Operation instruction
■Input video port selection of transmitter
The transmitter has both 3G SDI and HDMI video input ports. The system
willdetect the chosen video source automatically and then set this to the
default video input channel. If both SDI and HDMI have valid video input, the
system will prioritize the SDI input.
■RSSIindicators
The receiver will calculate received RF signal strength internally and 5 "RSSI"
LEDs will be used to indicate wireless signal power and quality. The user can
observe the RSSI LED status to know if the current wireless link is reliable.
From 1 to 5, the lit LEDs will show RSSI from Min to Max.

■Frequencyselectionand configuration
The Blitz 400 can work in the 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band. The side panels
of both the transmitter and receiver have a frequency selection knob, which
provides a maximum of 10 workable frequency channels. The system
supports a maximum of 4 sets working simultaneously. See belowfor the

Trouble shooting
■FrequentlyAsked
Questions
a) Nooutputondisplay
-Check that theTXandRXhavestablepower.
-Doublecheckthatthebatteriesarecharged.
-Check that theTX andRXantennasareinstalledcorrectly.
- Check the 'Video' indicator, if TX 'Video' indicator is not lit, then check if the
SDI or HDMI cable is plugged in and a videosourceispresent.
- Check that the input video format is compatible with this product’s
specifications.
b) Pooroutputvideoquality
- Check if the SDI or HDMI input or output cable is plugged in correctly.
- Check howmany receiver side 'RSSI' LEDs are lit. Thereshould be 2-3
RSSILEDs litfor better videoquality; if there isonly1RSSILED or noLEDs
lit, thatmeansthereceivedwirelesssignal isweak. Decreasethedistance
between theTX and the RX or try a different frequency channel in case of
interference.
