Important Information

Read this user’s manual carefully before use. It c ontains important
information and notes regarding operating.
The RECON X5 may not apply to the below cases:

｡Repairs o r product modification and alterations have been executed

by unauthorized service personnel.

｡Damages i s caused by accidents including but not limited to lighting,

water, fire, or moisture.

｡D o not use power with specific power rating not compliant in the

specification.

｡The serial number o n the product has been altered, deleted, removed

or made illegible.
Danger: Be careful with electricity.

｡P ower to the units must be switched off before any work i s undertaken.
｡When the unit i s not used for a long period, disconnect them from the

power source.

Warning

｡D o not open the product.

｡D o not block the ventilation slots on the product.
｡P ut the product away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.
｡D o not spill liquid on the product, especially with corrosive liquids.
｡To reduce the risk o f fire or electric shock, do not expose the RECON

X5TX and RECON X5RX to rain or moisture.

Special Notice

｡Never use this produc t nearby an aircraft or high-accuracy electronic

instrument, It will cause an interference and wrong effect o n the
operation.

｡Never use this produc t in the following location where wireless wave

will cause the abnormal video and audio (noise, blocked image...etc,).

1. Installed in the walls with hard accessible material.

2. This device should be situated away from the refrigerator or metal
fitment.

3. Crowded place.

｡This product has been tested and manufactured t o comply with each

country’s safety rules. However, there is no guarantee that
will not occur in a few particular installation. If the interference is
happened, increase the separation distance between RECON X5TX
and RECON X5RX.

interference

｡R ECON X5 is susceptible to interference from 5GHz wireless device,

such as router or other wireless device.

｡D o not put RECON X5TX and RECON X5RX in a metal rack, which

may hinder the wireless communication.

｡When wireles s transmission is beginning, the product takes about

15-20 seconds to start the system, the media receiver can not be
operated during this time.

｡D o Install the external antennas before use.

The Recon X5 has built in GUI, accessible when pressing the
menu button on the remote control, aiming it towards the IR
window on the bottom of the RX. You must have a monitor
connected to either SDI output on the RX view.

Installation
For the Recon X5 systems
with V or 3 Stus plates, you can simply
mount the transmitter as you would a

RECON X5TX

Connecting Plate

JetPack

battery pack, positioning the TX
between camera and battery.

For those who have a modular system,
please see the illustration to the right
on how to “hard” mount the
modular TX to the camera and coupling

Connect the JetPack to RECON X5TX

that with an optional Jetpack X power
distribution module.

Step1: RECON X5TX the transmitter:

1. Install the 2 external antennas.

2. Connect the BNC cable to the
High-Definition device's SDI OUT
socket.

3. Connect the BNC cable to
RECON X5TX's SDI IN socket.

4. Connect the JetPack or other
power supply equipment.

Step2: RECON X5RX the receiver:

1. Install the 2 external antennas

2. Adjust the DIP switch according to the input signal formats( See
RECON X5RX)

3. Connect the BNC cable to RECON X5RX's SDI OUT socket

4. Connect the BNC cable to the display device's SDI IN socket.

5. Connect the AC power supply.

Step3: Power on
Press the power switches to power on your RECON X5TX and RECON
X5RX, POWER LED indicators turn solid green.
If RECON X5TX receives SDI signals, VIDEO LED on the RECON X5
TX lights up; if the signal link between RECON X5TX and RECON X5
RX is established, LINK LED on the RECON X5RX lights up. In this case
the communication is normal, you can normally transmit signals.

Thank you for your choice in purchasing the Recon X5.

This solution delivers uncompressed 1080i True Cinema video content
to your monitor.
It operates the transmission in

frequencies that can adjust its frequency auto-

5.15GHz-5.25GHz, 5.725GHz-5.85GHz(non-

matically in case of interference with another RF system.
With external antennas, it can transmit uncompressed video content
with less than a frame of latency.
