1. General Information
1.1. General Safety Information
To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the
operation or maintenance of the equipment must study the information that
follows, together with local site regulations.
WARNING:RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit.
Exposure to RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be
harmful to health. Switch off supplies before removing covers or
disconnecting any RF cables, and before inspecting damaged cables
or antennas.
WARNING:Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and
never look into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF
power may be present.
CAUTION: We strongly recommended that you return any equipment requiring
RF servicing to Vislink.
WARNING:GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment
contain Gallium Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic
substances. Whilst safe to handle under normal circumstances,
individual components must not be cut, broken apart, incinerated or
chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white
ceramic material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes,
which are carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or entering damaged
skin.
Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.
CAUTION: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward
voltage, ripple current or temperature these components may
rupture and could potentially cause personal injury.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
precautions should be employed to prevent accidental damage.
1.2. Disposal Instructions
WARNING:DO NOT incinerate batteries. Exposing batteries to naked flames or
extreme heat sources can cause them to rupture or explode.
DO NOT dispose of any of the supplied equipment as household waste. The
supplied equipment is not biodegradable in landfill sites. For safe disposal of
the supplied equipment, take it to your local (council/authority) environmental
waste site. For details, contact your local authority/recycling center.
NOTE: In Europe dispose of all equipment in accordance with the European
Environmental directive.
1.3. Environmental
CAUTION: The unit is IPxx rated and must be protected from dripping or
splashing water/fluids. When used outdoors, protect the unit using a
rain cover.

1.4. Health & Safety
Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances
The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from
the relationship:
D =
in which D = safe working distance (meters)
PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)
GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)
w = Maximum allowed power density (watts/square meter)
The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for
exposure of the human body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note
that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-
time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Vislink use, when calculating
minimum safe working distances, apply a maximum power density limit (w) of
1w/m². Appendix A refers.
WARNING: Any transmitting equipment, radiating power at frequencies of 100
kHz and higher, has the potential to produce thermal and athermal
effects upon the human body.
To be safe:
a. Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they allow
anyone else to do so.
b. Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of
its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

1.5. Maximum RF Power Density Limits
The RF Radiation Power Density limit figure recommended by Vislink is based
upon guideline levels published in:
a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300
GHz.
b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic &
Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of
the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Both documents define guideline RF power density limits for "Controlled" and
"Uncontrolled" environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one
in which the person subjected to the RF radiation may be unaware of and has
no control over the radiation energy received. The uncontrolled environment
conditions can arise, even in the best regulated operations and for this reason
the limits defined for the uncontrolled environment have been assumed for the
Vislink recommended limit.
Documents a) and b) also show the RF power density guidelines to be
frequency dependent. Different power density / frequency characteristics are
presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of
uncertainty, Vislink recommends the use of a single power density limit across
the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we
recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.
NOTE: The IICNIRP document is freely available for download from the
internet at www.icnirp.de/emfgdl (PDF file) the IEEE standard is
available on loan from Essex County Library on payment of a search
fee.

2. Introduction
2.1. IP-Native Wireless Camera Receiver
The Vislink Quantum Receiver is designed to receive one wireless camera
transmitter output using up to 16 RF inputs employing Maximum Ratio
Combining (MRC) and packet switching diversity technology. It then
demodulates the received signals using LMS-T or DVB-T, providing low-latency
HEVC and MPEG-4 video decoding that supports all major video formats (4K
UHD and HD) including High Frame Rate (HFR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR).
The Quantum Receiver delivers content directly over IP fiber networks cutting
out the requirement for additional video compression stages. IP connectivity
enables production teams to work wirelessly and remotely over IP fiber
networks or the unmanaged internet, facilitating efficient live video production
workflows.
Figure 2-1 Quantum Receiver Overview
The Quantum Receiver incorporates a touch-screen interface, APIs and a web
browser application to allow integration into system control and orchestration
tools.

2.3. Functional Description
The relationship between the functions of the receiver and the connectors is
shown in the block diagram below.
Figure 2-2 Functional Block Diagram
The receiver connectors are detailed in Section 4 Rear Panel Connectors.
Multiple units can be cascaded using ASI input and outputs. The use of both
MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) of the received COFDM signals and the ASI
packet diversity, the combining of two ASI streams to produce a stream with
fewer errors than either input; provides a flexible and extendable receiver
system.
When ‘External ASI & Diversity’ is configured as the unit input, Demod 4 is
switched to external ASI, so the 16-way RF input is reduced to 12-way plus
external ASI and the external ASI cannot be packet switched. Packet switching
is only possible if the external ASI is supplied from a separate Quantum with a
single Demod only.
2.4. Key Features
The following key features are available for this unit:
Up to 16-way diversity LMS-T or DVB-T demodulation
Low-latency HEVC and MPEG-4 video decode compression technology
4K UHD and HD decoding with HDR support
Dual service HEVC HD Decode
IP-native Transport Stream connectivity
SRT support
SMPTE2110-ready
