1-1. Introduction
The DLXA-002 is a wireless transmitter using Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technology. The OFDM
transmitter transfers data such as pictures, audio and etc. at a rate of 4 to
15 Mbps within 8MHz bandwidth in the Industrial, Scientific and
Medical (ISM) band. It consists of MPEG encoder, modulator and RF
circuit. The DLXA-002 is docked onto a Sony Camcorder and works only
with the signal from Sony Camcorder. The signal of the DLXA-002 is
received by the optional antenna and tuner/de-modulator.

Significantly outperforms the analog FM system
1-2-2. Mobility
Omni-directional Antenna offers more shooting
flexibility due to stable RF link
1-2-3. Fast set up and ease of use
Dockable to camcorder
Compact transmitter
Built-in MPEG-2 encoder/COFDM modulator/RF
Eliminates triax cable usage
1-2-4. MPEG-2 Encoding

②DC IN (DC power input) connector (XLR type,4-pin,
male)
The external DC is fed to the camcorder through DLXA-002.
The power switch of the camcorder and the DLXA-002 are managed
independently. The camcorder works even if the DXLA-002 is turned
off.
③DC-LINE switch
This switch turns the power to the DLXA-002 and off.
