4 General information on MODUL NO.1
MODUL NO.1 transmits uncompressed FULL HD-Video data up to 1080p60 and 4:2:2 sampling. The
transmitter broadcasts its input signal to the receiver without frame delay using 5GHz frequency band.
MODUL NO. Transmitter (TX) is equipped with a loop-through 3G-SDI input/output. Transmitted video
and audio can be received by up to 4 different Receivers (RX) and a range of 100m line of sight. Without
line of sight range differs according to obstacles, like walls of reinforced concrete, steel buildings, or
structures which may attenuate the signal and decreases the transmission distance.
MODUL NO.1 is a powerful, lightweight device not requiring a fan, offering optimal integrated multi-
antenna system which uses all kind of reflections and therefore works properly even without line of sight.
Receiver (RX) interface includes two 3G-SDI outputs. Transmitter (TX) is directly connected to a camera
or other video data source via SDI-cable. Receiver can be connected with different displays or recorders
via SDI-cable.

4.1 Product versions
MODUL NO.1 comes in two versions: Unicast (UC) and Multicast (MC). Unicast (UC) transmits video
data to only one dedicated Receiver (RX). The Transmitter (TX) of this version cannot serve more than
one Receiver (RX) simultaneously. The Multicast (MC) version transmits video and audio data up to four
Receivers (RX) simultaneously. Whereby all transmission lines are 128-bit encrypted.

5.1 Connecting Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX)
5.1.1 Connecting Transmitter
1.) Use D-Tap adapter cable to connect Transmitter (TX) and power supply, please make sure that
power supply range is within 10.5V to 36V DC.
2.) Use SDI1-Input to connect Transmitter and video source via SDI-cable.
3.) SDI2 can be used as Loop-through.
5.1.2 Connecting Receiver
1.) Use D-Tap adapter cable to connect Receiver (RX) and power supply, please make sure that
power supply range is within 10.5V to 36V DC.
2.) SDI1 and SDI2 each can be used as output.
5.1.3 System Start-up
1.) Switch the Transmitter on using the on/off switch (6).
2.) Switch the Receiver on using the on/off switch (6).
In delivery state, Transmitter and Receiver are paired and will automatically link after the system
has been started. The Field strength display (5) will blink during connection build-up.
Connection setup is completed. Continuous lit of Field strength display (5) at Transmitter (TX) and
Receiver (RX) indicates the connection has been setup successfully. If a valid video signal is applied it
will be transmit to Receiver (RX).

Page 14 of 20
5.2 Channel Programming
MODUL NO.1 Receiver may store different channels (so called presets) up to four different video
sources. After channel setting you can switch video source using select button (2). To switch between
channels please proceed as follows:
1.) Start set up with Receiver: please press select button (2)
2.) LED (1) indicates current selection
3.) LED of video signal display (3) indicates change by flashing green
4.) After successful connection, status LED of video signal display (3) will continuously lit.
5.3 Pairing –Channel Storing
All MODUL NO.1 sets are paired in delivery status. After System Reset (chapter 5.6), if a different
configuration is needed, or additional Receivers should be connected to extend the multicast set up,
Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) can be pared as follows:
Please note that during pairing the distance between Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) should be at
least 30cm.
1.) Please switch on Transmitter and Receiver using On/off switch (6) and wait at least 30 seconds
until the system is up.
2.) Select channel by pushing select button on Receiver (RX). LED will indicate the selected
channel.
3.) Press the select button for 5 seconds on Transmitter (TX). LED (5) will flash slowly.
4.) Press the select button for 5 seconds on Receiver (RX). At first LED (5) will indicate pairing
process by flashing slowly, if Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) are connected successfully
LED (5) flashes fast.
5.) LED (5) continuously lit if pairing process has been successfully completed successfully.
6.) Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) indicate the same programmed channel.
When power switch is turned on, Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) will start searching for a
frequency that it can be linked to. If there is any disturbance in the chosen frequency the system
will change the link mode automatically. Regarding pairing: Previously executed programming will be
replaced. A programmed channel (preset) cannot be used twice. Both, Transmitter (TX) and Receiver
(RX) must have the same channel selected. Additional Receiver (RX) can be added as described.
5.4 Transmission Range
Transmission range may vary due to environmental circumstances, radio wave conditions, buildings or
weather conditions. Signal reception may vary depending on MODUL NO.1 placement. Optimal alignment
of the system is to place it vertically where the antenna area remains uncovered (see 5.1).
