Receive status

Select the down arrow icon to view Receive Status.

Use the information on the Receive Status page to check which video channels are active and to monitor signal strength and CNR. A strong signal strength, shown in the RSSI section, and a high CNR provide good quality of reception.

Green and blue are good channels; green indicates the channel that is being used to decode the video. The ‘Lock’ column indicates which channels have RF lock. RF lock is required on at least one channel; this is demodulated and passed to the video decoder.

If the RSSI is low, you should increase the transmit output power. Change the transmit output power using the Remote Tx Crtl configuration options. However, if the power is set too high, you will see a reduction in CNR as the downconverters become overloaded. Optimal receive strength is between -50 dB and -20 dB.
