Direct or Wireless transmitting modes

Your DCS1800 provides two transmitting modes, “Direct Mode” and “Wireless Mode”.

Direct Mode – Simply insert the insertion tube controller into the USB socket located on the back of the

console. This will automatically activate the Direct Mode transmitting mode. During Direct Mode, all

images are transmitted through the wired socket, not wirelessly. This can be helpful when working in an

area where other high frequency wireless equipment is being used because there will be no interference

with the video signal.

Wireless Mode – DCS1800 also has a built-in wireless transmission function. It will adjust to Wireless

Mode automatically once the console and insertion tube controller are separated.

System Modes
