About
Product model and standard
The Long Range Wireless HDMI/SDI Transmission Suite utilize today's
most advanced wireless video transmission technology, which can real-
ize the broadcast-class and uncompressed 3G SDI/HDMI HD video sig-
nal transmitted with no compression and zero delay. The suite include
one transmitter and one receiver, where the transmitter provides a 3G/H
D SDI input and a HDMI input, and the receiver also provide a 3G/HD SDI
output and a HDMI output. The wireless HD suite has 2 stick antennas in
transmitter side, and 5 internal antennas in receiver side, and it can work
in 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and be flexibly software configured to lic-
ensed or ISM band of global different regions, as well as the side panel
of both transmitter and receiver has been installed a frequency select k-
nob, which provide maximum 10 workable frequency channels, and sup-
port maximum 4 sets working simultaneously. The wireless suite can a-
ccept wide range DC power input, which is suitable for many kinds of c-
amera battery model. The suite also can sustain ±8 kV ESD (HBM, co-
ntact discharge), the industry class metal case and professional heat de-
sign would guarantee most robust reliability.

Installation details and cautions
Transmitter side
a) Install 2 Omni-directional and high efficiency antennas to transmitter's
RP-SMA female antenna connectors.
b) There is one1/4-20 screw in transmitter metal case, which are
located on the bottom of case. So the user can utilize a 1/4 screw to
ISO518 hot-shoe converter fix the transmitter into camera.
c) Install battery into battery buckle if your product model includes battery
buckle options; please note the battery model must match the battery
buckle type.
d) The user can also utilize a subsidiary LEMO 4 pin-male to D-type rece-
ptacle power cable to get power input from an outside power source.
e) All TX installation guidelines see below figure.

Receiver side
a) There is one 1/4-20 screw nut in the bottom side of receiver. The user
can utilize a 7'' articulating arm and crab clam to install the receiver on
one tripod.
b) Install battery into battery buckle if your product model includes the option
of battery buckles; please note the battery model must match the battery
buckle type.
c) The user can also utilize a subsidiary LEMO 4 pin-male to D-type recep-
tacle power cable to get power input from an outside power source.
d) All RX installation guidelines see below figure.

Typical connection instruction
Connect camera SDI or HDMI output to transmitter SDI or HDMI input port,
and the transmitter can fixed in hot-shoe port of the camera. Connect HDMI
or SDI output port of the receiver to SDI or HDMI input port of the HD moni-
tor. Make sure all antennas and batteries are equipped normally. See below
diagram.

Getting started
After finishing all steps above, system is workable, follow below steps.
a) Ensure the video source output of the camera is OK, and the HD monitor
is power on and switched to connected video input port.
b) Ensure all input, output SDI or HDMI cables are connected.
c) Ensure 2 TX antennas are installed, and it is better to keep TX 2 antennas
with orthogonal angle each other for best RF performance. Like below
figure.
Operation instruction
d) Ensure both the transmitter and receiver installed the battery or DC input
port connected to outside power source. Then turn power switch of tra-
nsmitter and receiver to 'ON' respectively, then 'Power' indicator will light.
Transmitter
e) Ensure the frequency knobs of transmitter and receiver are set with the
same number, and this will make sure the transmitter and receiver work
with same RF frequency.
f ) If the camera is on and video input is OK, TX side ‘video’ indicator will light. g) Before RX finished wireless link with TX, 4 RSSI’ indicators and ‘Video’
indicators are off; when wireless link is OK, ‘RSSI’ indicators will light first,
and ‘RSSI’ will indicate the received RF signal strength. If the receiver d-
etects wireless video normal internally from air interface, ‘Video’ indicator
will light. Before that, if SDI or HDMI video out port of the receiver has HD
monitor connected, it will display an OSD of ‘Link Connecting……’ like
below picture.

) The system will spend 20-30 seconds on constructing the link, and real link h
period will depend on the current wireless channel condition. When wireless
-link is set up, “RSSI” light will light and indicate current received wireless si
gnal strength, as well “Video” indicators will light, and then connected HD
monitor will display the video and audio accordingly.
16
Input video port selection of transmitter
The transmitter has a 3G SDI video input port and a HDMI video input port, and the system will detect valid video source automatically of SDI and HDMI port, and then switch it as main video input channel. If both SDI and HDMI h­ave valid video input, the system will take SDI input as priority.
RSSI indicators
The receiver will calculate received RF signal strength internally and 5 “RSSI” LEDs will be used to indicate wireless signal power and quality. The user can observe the RSSI LED status to know if the current wireless link is reliable or not. From 1 to 5 lit LEDs show RSSI from Min to Max.

Frequency selection and configuration
The wireless suite can work in 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band and be flexibly software configured to licensed or ISM band of global different regions, as well as the side panel of both transmitter and receiver has been installed a frequency select knob, which provide maximum 10 workable frequency ch­annels, and support maximum 4 sets working simultaneously. See below fre­quency knob figure.

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
Warning
To ensure your safety, place choose original adapters. And provide stable AC
input according to this manual.

Normal problems
a) No output on display
Check TX and RX power first, and see if TX or RX battery is existed, then
check if TX antenna and RX antenna installed right. After that, check 'Video'
indicator, if TX 'Video' indicator is not light, 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 specs.
b) Poor output video quality
Check if SDI or HDMI input or output cable is plugged well, then check how
many receiver side 'RSSI' LEDs is lit, there should be 2-3 RSSI LED lit if the
user want to get better video quality; if there is only 1 RSSI LED or no LED
lit, that means the received wireless signal is weak, and should decrease the
transmission distance or try to change to other frequency channels in case
some exist interference.
