U-NII Low (U-NII-1) 5.15-5.25 GHz

U-NII Mid (U-NII-2) 5.25-5.35 GHz

U-NII Worldwide (U-NII-2e) 5.47-5.725 GHz

U-NII Upper (U-NII-3) 5.725 to 5.825 GHz

ISM 5.725 to 5.875 GHz

Norms may change. Before putting the device into operation, please observe the respective country
specific regulations.

This equipment conforms to the R&TTE directive for usage in the 5GHz frequency bands.

(see the Manufacturer declaration at the end of this document)

It can operate on 24 distinct frequency channels. These channels are not considered identical by the
regulation authorities.

The following table sums up the different channels and their characteristics :

These power limit are the default values imposed by the regulator. Some derogations allowing more
power to be transmitted may apply in some country.

Power

(E. I.R.P )

The equipment can have a user configurable transmission power, from 6 dBm up to 25 dBm.
This allow to use different type of antenna and cable, and compensate the power loss in these cable.

The conformity test have been performed with a 7 dBi gain antenna and the maximum power output

To comply with the regulation, when using the channel 1 to 8 (5180 MHz to 5320 MHz), the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) must be lower than 200 mW (23 dBm). If the
equipment is set to 25 dBm power, a cable of at least 7 dB attenuation must be used if a 7 dBi
antenna is used.
When using the channel 20 to 24 (5745 MHz to 5825 MHz), the EIRP must be lower than 25 mW
(14 dBm), a cable of at least 6 dB attenuation must be used if a 7 dBi antenna is used.

When using a different antenna, or different cable, the maximum allowed power may be achieved
by lowering the power generated by the product (using the front panel, or from the web interface).

It is the installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations including operation within
legal frequency channels. The End User is responsible for keeping the unit working according
to these rules.

PUTTING REALITYCASTERS INTO OPERATION

-1- Connect power-supply cable and the antennas you have.

You have to connect the 2 antennas to each device in order to obtain an optimized transmission
quality :

– either the little 3dB gain black omnidirectional antennas delivered with product, used to

cover short distances;

– for over long distances broadcast

– omnidirectional antennas at the transmitter
– and directional antennas at the receiver
– 50 Ohms 6GHz N connectors cables.

-2- Video parameters :

• Switch on the power supply Tx and Rx

• Select your video source of your transmitter Tx

Menu : Video

Res In : D1920x1080P60
► Input : HDMI
Bit-rate : 08 Mbit/s
Mode : Rand ▼

Choose : HDMI or DVI, VGA, SDI (option)

For example :
Main menu → Left arrow button → Down arrow button→ “Video” menu selection thanks the
centre button to enter → right arrow button to manage parameter → up or down arrow to change
parameter. Choose “HDMI”→ centre button to validate

• You can connect your video cable Tx

! Note ! At each moment, you can go back to main menu thanks to upper or down left triangle
button (button 1 or 4 on the front plate description).

! Note ! You can check the format of the video your are transmitting (“Res In”). No data indicate
that format is not valid!

• Video bit-rate selection Tx

This value starts at 1 (very low encoding resolution) to 8 (high-resolution encoding). By default,
keep this value to 8. For the extreme conditions of use (very long distance, important obstacles),
you can decrease this value. It can improve the robustness of your radio signal and thus to obtain a
better quality of radio reception. The image can potentially be less fluid, slightly bitmap display.

11/28

• Video encoding selection mode Tx

It is about the refreshment mode of the images

– "Rand": randomly block refreshment
– "GOP": groups of points refreshment
– "Cont": continuous line refreshment

By default, you can keep "Rand" mode.

• Refresh Tx

Allows to refresh completely the image on demand.

• Encoder or decoder stop/restart Tx & Rx

« Power » field allows to stop or restart the encoder or decoder (in case of abnormal performance or
inappropriate use)

ANTENNAS INSTALLATION SET UP

– Your antennas set-up is fundamental for a high performance radio transmission and

reception

✔ Connect omnidirectional antennas at the transmitter when you use several receivers placed

in different direction

✔ For short distances, you can use omnidirectional antennas with your receivers. Antenna

installation can also be easier (no need to point antennas precisely). For long distances, you
can privilege directional panel antennas at reception point. Reception sensibility is
primordial.

✔ Install your antennas :

• 1 meter minimum between each antenna of each device,

• 1 meter minimum from a wall,

• above obstacles. (The use of mats is recommended).

For a distance of “d” kilometre, this minimum of height above obstacles is : 3,6

√

d

– 1m15 over obstacles for a distance < 100m
– 2,5m over obstacles for a distance < 500m
– And so on

✔ “Stats” menu is very convenient to help you to install antennas : check at the receiver your

two power radio gains

REMINDER: a good set-up is when power reception valued are between -30dB et

-78dB.

IF A PROBLEM OCCURS

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Transmitter or receiver doesn't work No supply voltage available Check you power unit

Screen dysfunction LCD communication error Press during 4 seconds button n° 1 or 5

No Sound Sound is mute Sound mute has to be “Off”

Menu → Audio → Output → mute:off

No video Video encoder is Off Video parameter has to be “On”

Menu → Video → Power → “On”

Audio signal is distorted Excessive input sound level. Decrease input sound level

No synchronization between
receiver(s) and transmitter

Image or sound poor

Connected cable is incorrect Check that cable is compliant with 5 to

6 GHz frequencies

Connected cable is too long Check the receiver radio power level.

If it is <-75 dB, reduce the cable length
if it is possible

Radio transmission power is too low Set an higher transmission power level

(if possible).
Check your installation set-up thanks to
DIWEL tools available on

www.diwel.com

Cable is damaged Change the cable

Cable is not well connected Check the cable connection

Antennas are not well oriented Check the antennas polarization

Check the antennas orientation

Antennas gain is too low Check your antennas gain.

Check your installation thanks to
DIWEL tools available on

www.diwel.com

Change your antennas with higher gain
ones if possible.

Installation not compliant with range Check if your antennas type, antennas

location, cable length, transmission
power are compliant with your request.
Use DIWEL tools available on
www.diwel.com

Parasites Check the QOS (quality of services)

value on the “Statistics” sub-menu.
If the value is <8, scan frequencies and
check if your frequencies are not used
by other products/users. Change
frequencies if necessary.

Presence of metal between
transmitter an receivers antennas.

Move your antennas in order to have
no metal between transmitter an
receivers antennas.
