CW-5HD TX Important Notification of Use
CAUTION
IDX requires that CW-5HD TX (transmitter) be installed on the V-Mount
interface of a video camera. Depending on connectivity, installing
CW-5HD TX with equipment other than a video camera may cause
problems to CW-5HD TX or other equipment.
For further information, and to install the CW-5HD system with equipment
other than a video camera, please contact your local IDX representative.

I. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To use this product safely and correctly please follow the safety precautions set
out below. Product misuse may cause fire, shock, injury, product failure or other
hazards. Please read this manual prior to using your CW-5HD and retain for future
reference.
Caution
Fire or electric shock may cause injury or
other accidents.
●Before using an external power
supply, always check that the
voltage is within the specified
range and that the polarity of the
connector is correct, as this will
avoid smoke or fire.
●Do not use this product near
water or in high humidity
environments. This may cause fire
or electric shock.
●Do not attempt to disassemble,
modify or repair this product
yourself. That may cause fire or
electric shock.
Please refer inspection and repair
services to your dealer or local IDX
office.
●In case of damage, smoke,
unusual smell or other unexpected
situations, stop use immediately
and consult your dealer or local
IDX office.
●Turn the power switch off if any
liquid or substance gets inside the
product. Continuous use under
such condition may cause
shortage, fire or electric shock.
●When a battery is mounted on
CW-5HD, or CW-5HD is mounted
on a video camera or on a monitor,
please ensure that they are
correctly and firmly locked.

Caution - continued
Fire or excessive heat may cause injury or
damage to surroundings.
●If ventilation openings are
blocked, this may cause excessive
heat or damage.
●Using the CW-5HD in an
environment with a lot of
moisture, soot or dust may cause
excessive heat or electric shock
●Do not place this product on an
uneven surface or one with
vibration. It may cause failure or
damage.
Caution on the use of this product and radio waves
This product is approved for technical standard compliance
certification as a wireless device of radio stations with low antenna
●After long periods of continuous
use, the case of the unit may be
warm be touch.
●Do not stare at LED lights on the
side panel of CW-5HD, as this may
cause damage to the eyes.
power specified under international and U.S. FCC Radio wave
regulations. Therefore a license for radio station use is not required
to operate this product.
CW-5HD uses 5GHz band radio frequencies and it has been shown
not to interfere with medical devices. However, when in use, it is
recommended to keep the CW-5HD at least 30cm (12in.) away from
medical devices to ensure safety.

II. CONTENTS
1. Product Overview
The CW-5HD is a wireless transmission device which transmits HD SDI video and
SDI audio with 5GHz band radio frequencies. CW-5HD TX is the transmitter, and
connects to a video source such as a video camera. CW-5HD RX is the receiver,
and connects to a monitor, for example. Video and audio from the video source
can be seen / listened to from a distance without cable connections. Where a
direct line-of-view is offered between CW-5HD TX and RX, the signals can be
transmitted up to 50m (with the transmit output power in HIGH mode).
Other features
z Supports HD-SDI/SD-SDI input and output.
z Transmitting HD video (1080i, 1080p, 720p) and SD video (525i/625i)
z Supporting SDI embedded audio. (Audio CH1 and CH2 only)
z Transmission delay is 1m/sec maximum.
z Signal protection by 256bit AES encryption (in UNICAST mode)
z The adoption of ‘MIMO’, which multiplexes wireless signals via multiple
antennas in one channel, enables HD-SDI or SD-SDI transmission.
z Both automatic and manual selection of transmitted frequencies (4ch).
z Two-level select (HIGH/LOW) of transmit output power.
z Power can be supplied by V-Mount type Lithium Ion battery or by DC input,
via XLR 4P connector.
z Back up power failure function enables immediate and automatic switching
to a connected battery if the external DC connected power is disconnected.
＊ The transmission distance may vary depending on surroundings, radio wave conditions,
buildings, etc., the transmission distance of approximately 50m is not guaranteed.
＊ When CW-5HD is placed near a device such a TV, the TV image may be disrupted. Please
increase the distance between TV and CW-5HD when this happens
＊ In locations with many other devices operating in the 5GHz wireless bandwidth, CW-5HD
operation can be affected, and images may be interrupted.
＊ Signal reception may be affected by the position, height and angle of placement. If
reception is not stable, please physically adjust placement for the optimised signal.
