Remote transmitter control
- How do I keep the transmit and receive frequencies at the same value?
- Select Update Receive Frequency on the receiver's Remote Tx Control
page. When selected, the receive and transmit frequency are kept at the same
value. Then, if you change the transmit frequency, the receive frequency
automatically changes to the same value. Note: It is recommended that you link the receive and transmit frequencies, but during diagnostic testing you might want to not change the transmitter frequency but change the receive frequency setting to look at another camera.
- How do I change the remote transmitter power?
- The Remote Tx Transmit Power value on the on the receiver's Remote Tx
Control page defines the transmit output power. You should start with
the lowest power output and increase only if the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) on the Receive Status page is low. If the power is set too high for your
application, you will see a reduction in Carrier to Noise Ratio (CNR) as the
downconverters become overloaded. Note: For most applications 100 mW is the recommended setting. Optimal receive strength is between -50 dB and -20 dB. If you set the value too high, you could overload the system in certain situations. If the power is too low, the camera range may be insufficient resulting in loss of RF signal and video image.
- Which settings can I change to improve the wireless link and quality of the video image?
- The Remote Tx Modulation settings on the receiver's Remote Tx Control page set the robustness of the wireless link and the quality of the video image. Choosing the wrong values impacts the range of the wireless link and quality of the video image. 16QAM, 3/4, 1/32 is a good starting point.
- The images are in the wrong format for production, what can I do?
- Check that the mode and frame rate settings for the Camera Video Format on the receiver's Remote Tx Control page match the camera and production workflow. Avoid setting the video format to ‘Auto’ as may cause the image to be in the wrong format.
