The Wireless Video Bridge Technical Communication will cover all the aspects of Wireless
Video and the Wireless Video Bridge.
A. W
IRELESS VIDEO BRIDGE
The WVB Gen2 is a second generation Wireless Video Bridge that is targeted as a direct
replacement to the WVB Gen1 with enhanced networking features.
The Wireless Video Bridge (WVB2) provides the ability to stream DIRECTV programming
from a Genie server to the Genie Mini (C41W or higher) client wirelessly.
The Wireless Video Bridge provides video distribution throughout the home without the use
of coaxial or CAT5 cables at every TV. The WVB2 creates a private network only accessible
to DIRECTV products.

EATURES
Functionally, the WVB Gen2 is identical to the WVB Gen1 with the exception of the following
features:
A. 802.11
AC SUPPORT.
802.11ac is the latest IEEE Wi-Fi standard which provides increased bandwidth and
additional throughput over increased range compared to 802.11n (on which WVB Gen 1 is
based). Increased throughput is required to sustain the level of video traffic required to
support more concurrent clients which are a feature of the HS17family of products with up to
7 HD clients supported or 2 Wireless 4K Clients and one Wireless HD client.
B. MOCA 2.0
MoCA 2.0 allows for increased frequency range and channel bandwidth, which leads to
increased throughput over greater distances in comparison to MoCA 1.1. MoCA 2.0 is also
backwards compatible with MoCA 1.1 and will therefore allow for operability with existing,
MoCA 1.1 compliant products.
C. W
IRELESS REPEATER FUNCTIONALITY
The WVB Gen2’s ability to act as a wireless repeater indicates that the WVB Gen2 will offer
a wireless solution for extending the range of the internal WVB of the HS17
D. W
IRELESS PROTECTED SETUP
The WVB Gen 2 will contain an Add Client Button that will primarily be used with the HS17
eliminating the need to add the RVU Client through the “Add Client” Screen. If the user
chooses, they also have the option of adding a RVU client through the “Add Client” screen
just like the WVB Gen 1.

OW THE WIRELESS VIDEO BRIDGE WORKS
• The Wireless Video Bridge Gen 2 (WVB2) is connected to the Genie server via the
SWiM/MoCA network.
• The WVB2 acts as an access point for the C61W, creating the Wireless Video Network
for wireless clients (C61W).
• The WVB2 delivers audio/video and the user interface wirelessly to the clients as if there
was a traditional coax network in the home, and this connection is different and separate
from the Wi-Fi connection to the customers Router.
