Overwiew

ANTENNA is a new generation wireless DMX system which employs the W-DMX technology.

ANTENNA is a compact, plug and play device, easy to set up and use.
ANTENNA represents a true innovation in comparison with other wireless DMX systems,
because it employs the adaptive FHSS standard instead of the commonly used W-LAN
standard.
The W-LAN standard uses fixed channels without hopping, so it has a much bigger risk
for interference from other competing local wireless networks.
The FHSS standard instead uses 83 discrete frequency channels, checking every
millisecond for interference free transmission.

Units

ANTENNA is made of two units: ANTENNA DMX Transmitter and ANTENNA DMX Receiver.
ANTENNA DMX Transmitter
ANTENNA DMX Transmitter in standard configuration can transmit data to 512 DMX channels.

Multi-cast / Point-to-point transmission

ANTENNA DMX Transmitter can be used either for multi-cast or point-to-point transmission.
* In Multi-cast each fixture has a dedicated ANTENNA Receiver: this configuration is particularly
useful when you want to control many units totally wireless.
* Point-to-point is ideal when you have to bridge a long distance from the console to the first
fixture of a lighting system, which is connected to the other units by standard DMX cables.

ANTENNA DMX Receiver
ANTENNA DMX Receiver receives data transmitted over 512 DMX channels.

Electrical specifications: Input 90V AC-250V AC 50-60 Hz (Max: 1A at 115V AC-0,5A at 230V
AC) or 12VDC (1,5 A max).
Compliance declaration: ETSI: EN300 328 & 300 826 EMC: EN301 489-17 CE: EN60950
FCC: Part 15 sec. 247 & subpart B

Output Power - According to ETSI (Europe) 100 mW (20dBm)

Operating instructions

Logging on a receiver

To log on the Antenna receivers in the system simply press and quickly release the function button
on the transmitter.
The transmitter will start flashing rapidly red/green scanning for new free receivers. When a
receiver logs on to the transmitter the LINK green light starts to flash rapidly in the same way as
the transmitter.
After approximately 10 seconds the transmitter will jump back to normal mode and continue
transmitting data. The receivers now try to synchronize to the transmitter.
When synchronized to the transmitter, 2 different modes are possible:

1. Antenna transmitter has detected and transmits a DMX signal, in this mode a solid green light is
seen on the transmitter and LINK and DATA green lights are seen on the receiver.

2. No DMX signal connected, the Antenna transmitter will flash red/green; LINK green light on the
receiver is on and DATA green light is off.
To log a receiver off from a transmitter simply press the function button on it for approximately 5
seconds; when logged off the LINK green light will be off, meaning its available for log in on a new
transmitter.

Logging out a receiver

Press and hold the function button of the receiver for about 3 seconds. When the receivers status
LED are solid red the receiver are logged out.

Logging out all receivers from a transmitter

Press and hold the function button of the transmitter for about 3 seconds. When the receivers
status LED are solid red the receiver are logged out.

Transmitter, Status LED

Flashing red/green, no dmx connected.
Solid green, dmx signal detected and transmitted.
Fast fl ashing red/green, log in mode (every free receiver, not logged in to any other transmitter,
will be logged on)

Receiver, Status LED

Solid red, not logged on to a transmitter (free).
Flashing green ~1 seconds / red ~0,1 seconds, logged on to a transmitter and dmx line idle.
Solid green, logged on to a transmitter and receiving dmx data.
Fast flashing red/green, log in mode (getting log in configuration data from a transmitter)

Point-to-point operation

Point-to-point systems are used when you want to send wireless DMX data from a console to a
single receiver. As the receiver accepts all 512 DMX channels from the transmitter you can easily
daisy chain more fixtures by cable from the original fixture that is wirelessly connected.

Antenna Transmiter Antenna receiver

Point-to-multipoint operation

A multipoint W-DMX ANTENNA system can support up to 512 individual receivers responding to a
single W-DMX ANTENNA transmitter. All receivers in a multipoint system will listen only to the
designated transmitter and they will all receive the full 512 channels of the DMX universe. This
makes it straightforward to connect single fixtures or daisy-chained groups of fixtures to any of the
receivers in the system.

Installation

ANTENNA TRANSMITTER:

1)Attach the stadard antenna to the rear panel.

2)Link the DMX source to the DMX input socket on the front panel.

3)Connect power to the unit either via the AC power input (90 to 250 VAC), the DC power input
(12 VDC) or via the DMX bypass Rj45 socket (12 VDC).

To add receivers

Note: You can add receivers at any time, even during operation.

1)Power on the receiver units and ensure that they are not linked with any other transmitter (leds
should be solid red)

2)On the transmitter unit, press and release the FUNCTION button.
The transmitter will scan for all unlinked receives for a period of 10 seconds (red led will flash
rapidly).

3)If succesfull, the receiver’s leds will goes solid green.

To unlink all receivers

1)On the transmitter, press and hold the FUNCTION button untill the red led will flash rapidly.
All registered receiver will be unlinked.
