Introduction
The XW-HDU04pro system is designed for
wirelessly transmitting uncompressed 1080P
HD SDI/SDI video and audio from an y camera
to field monitors.
XW-HDU04pro TX is the transmit ter, and
connects to a camera.
XW-HDU04pro RX is the receiver, and
connects to a monitor.
Video signals f rom the camer a can be
transmitted in a di stance of 300m wi thout
cables. The d irector, pr odu cer and even
film crew can see exactly what th e camera
is shooting in real t ime .
It works on 5.1GHz ~ 5.9GHz band radio
frequencies and there are 0~9, total 10
frequency points for selection.
With omni-direct ional and high efficie ncy
antennas, it transmi ts uncompressed video
in 300 m eters LOS with le ss than 1ms la ten cy.

Features
1.Video transmitted in real time with latency less than 1 millisecond.
2.Fully uncompressed 1080P video.
3.High definition video with embedded sound.
4.SDI input /output, automatically detects HD-SDI and SD-SDI video.
5.Transmission distance within 300m LOS.
6.0~9 total 10 frequency point selections on 5.1GHz~5.9GHz.
7.Power can be supplied by V type or 3-Stud mount Lithium ion battery or by AC adaptor.
8.Back-up power failure function enables immediate and automatic switching to a
connected battery if the external DC connected power is disconnected
Note: The transmission distance may vary depending on surroundings, radio
wave conditions, etc. The transmission distance of approximately 300m is
not guaranteed.
In locations with many other devices operating in 5GHz frequencies,
operation of the set can be affected, and video may be interrupted.

Notes
1.Signal transmission may be affected by the position, height and angle of
placement. If the signal is weak, please look for the best condition by adjusting the
location, height of the unit.
2.When TX and RX are used very closely to each other (less than 3m as an
example), the received signal becomes too strong and may make the video
unavailable.
3.Transmission may be interfered if there are other 5GHz wireless devices in
operation nearby.
4.When an external power supply is used, power failure can be avoided by mounting
a PRO-X V Type or 3-Stud mount lithium ion battery to the set at the same time. If
the external power supply fails, operation continues via battery power.
5.If the video works improperly, restart the set (TX and RX) and try again.
6.When wireless transmission begins, the set takes about 15-20 seconds to start its
system. During this period of time, do not operate RX.
7.Do use TX and RX of the same serial number in pairs.

Solutions
● Check the battery mounted is available.
● Check the power plugs of TX and RX are properly connected
to a functioning power outlet.
● Check your video resolution is 1080P, 1080i, 720P, 576i or
480i.
● Check TX antennas installation and their directions.
● Make sure cable connection is correct.
● Make sure TX and RX are installed at the height more than 1.7m.
● Ensure transmission distance is not over 300m (LOS) and
there’s no interference between TX and RX.
● Check if there’s any high power intercom system within 2 meters
● Make sure there’s no large block betweenthe set (e.g. walls)
● Check if there are large metal objects moving between TX
and RX (e.g. trucks)
● Check to make sure there's no 5GHz WLAN and other
wireless devices nearby.
● Check if there is any device/equipment toblock or interfere
signals nearby (e.g. highpower equipments, signal tower)
● Make sure the set is not placed on a metal shelf or similar
place with metal.
● Try restart the set or change the set to another frequency
point and restart the set.
and not in “MUTE” mode.
● Ma ke sure cable conne ctio n i s correct.
● Check your video resolution with SDI input from your device is
1080P, 1080i, 720P, 576i or 480i.
● Sh utdow n and res tart the set.
● Check your monitor or other equipment’s volume is properly set
● Make sure the power sources connected to TX and RX are
functional.
● Make sure TX and RX are working at the same frequency point.
● Verify that the proper cable has been selected and installed
between the TX input and your SDI output.
● Make sure your camera connected with TX has been powered.
● On your monitor side, select the SDI/HDMI source you
connected to RX.
● Check your video resolution with SDI/HDMI input from your
device is 1080P, 1080i, 720P, 576i or 480i.
● Check VIDEO LED and LINKMUTE LED on your TX; if VIDEO
LED doesn’t light up, check the input signal; if VIDEO LED
lights up, but LINKMUTE LED doesn’t light up, check the
antennas and make sure the set is turned on.
● Ensure transmission distance is not over 300m (LOS).
● When all the above are checked and there’s still no video,
change to another frequency point for both TX and RX and
restart the set.
