■Product Model and standard
The VAXIS STORM 500FT+ Wireless HDMI/SDI Transmission Suite
utilize today’s most advanced wireless video transmission technology,
which can realize the broadcast-class and uncompressed 3G SDI/HDMI
HD video signal transmitted with no compression and zero delay. The
suite includes one transmitter and one receiver, both of them provides a
3G/HD SDI interface and a HDMI interface. The transmitter with 2
sword antennas, and 5 antennas built-in receiver, and it can work in
5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and be flexibly software configured to
licensed or ISM band of global different regions. Meanwhile,on the front
of the transmitter and receiver have been installed a control panel with
OLED and channel adjustment button, which provides maximum 10
workable frequency channels. The product supports maximum 4 sets
working simultaneously and in same place(Multi-point to multi-point to
transmit different images).
The wireless suite can accept wide range DC power input, which is
suitable for many kinds of camera battery model. The suite also can
sustain ±4 kV ESD (HBM, contact discharge), the industry class metal
case and professional heat design would guarantee most robust reliability.

band, it is exposure to all kind od 5GHz band air interference, we
suggest the users should do a manual frequency sweep by
adjusting frequency selection knob with a circle before using the
equipment, then choose the best frequency channel for stable
performance.
The transmitter has a 3G SDI video input port and a HDMI video
input port, and the system will automatically detect the input video
interface. If both SDI and HDMI have valid video inputs, the system will
take 3G SDI input as priority.
The receiver will calculate received RF signal strength and through
the OLED Screen to display the particular channel,signal strength and the

regions. Meanwhile,on the side of both transmitter and receiver Set aside
the manual communication channel selection knob, can use the random
screwdriver to adjust the channel.Please note: Transmitter and Receiver
should keep in the same channel(Similar to the intercom principle).When
working together with multiple sets of products (up to 4 sets of work),
please stagger the communication channels of each product to ensure
performance.Please refer to the following picture:

5. Maintenance
Warning
■Storage conditions
Products storage temperature should be -20°C~60°C. For long time
storage requirement, please use original carbon boxes, and avoid from
high humid, acid base or dusty place.
■Maintenance
To ensure your safety, place choose well-known brand DC batteries,
and guarantee suitable work conditions that battery manual
mentioned.

6.Trouble shooting
a) No output on display
b) Poor output video quality
■Normal problems
Please check the TX and RX power first, if TX or RX is powered
from battery or external power,please ensure the battery or external power
source can supply the power.Then check if TX antennas and RX antennas
are installed right. After that, check the Transmitter’s OLED screen, if
haven’t show the signal, then check SDI or HDMI cable is plugged in and
video source is ready please. Finally may check input video format is
compatible with this product.
Please check if SDI or HDMI input or output cable is plugged well,
then checks the OLED screen for wireless signal strength, there should be
at least 2-3 frames lit if the user want to get better video quality.If there is
only 1 frames lit, that means the received wireless signal is weak, and
should shorten the transmission distance or change the wireless
communication channel.
