      - Introduction
        The Real Freedom Downconverter is a key component of BSI’s Real Freedom wireless camera system. It receives signals in the broadcast transmit band and down-converts them to a UHF signal of between 50 MHz and 850 MHz. The UHF signal is then fed to a receiver via a coaxial cable.
      - Installation and configuration
        Designed to be compact and fully weatherproof, the Real Freedom Downconverter can be temporarily installed almost anywhere or permanently on the roof of an outside broadcast van.

Change the operating band (7 GHz downconverter)

The 7 GHz downconverter can operate in one of five user-selectable bands.

Note: The frequency used by the transmitter and receiver must fall within the selected pass band for correct operation.

Choose the operating band in the receiver’s Receive configuration settings.
