Intended Use and Contraindications Intended Use The NDS ZEROWIRE® G2 is a paired wireless video communication transmitter and receiver, intended for de- livery of video signals from a source such as an endoscopy camera/processor, or other video source over a ra- dio-frequency link to a ZEROWIRE®...
The Transmitter may obtain its input video signal from either an endoscopic camera processor or the display’s DVI or SDI re-drive outputs. The Receiver’s output is connected to a display’s DVI input. The units are powered from an NDS 24 VDC power supply or through the Y adapter cable.

On the Receiver, the LINK button is also used to activate the Signal Strength bar graph described in section Signal Strength and OSD Diagnostic Messages [} 27].
Installation Mounting Brackets See ZEROWIRE® G2 Accessory Kits by Display [} 32]. Installation (mounted displays) NOTE! This installation requires two people: one to support the display, and one to perform the in- stallation. Replace the left-side mounting screws with two of the provided longer length mounting screws. See A in graphic Installation back view –...

Installation back view – step bracket and modules With the back of the ZEROWIRE® G2 Transmitter or Receiver module facing the front of the display, align the slot on the bottom of the module with the mounting blade, and push the module onto the mounting blade until the module is firmly seated.
Power Options ZEROWIRE® G2 Transmitters and Receivers used with a supported 32" or smaller NDS display can use an op- tional Y adapter cable for powering the ZEROWIRE® G2 unit. The two types of Y adapter cables are shown be- low.

Linking procedure: 1. Connect a DVI or SDI video source to the Transmitter unit (2) and a display to the Receiver unit’s DVI out- put (3). 2. Press and hold the LINK button (6) on the Receiver unit (3) until its linking LED (5) begins flashing blue rapidly, then release.
CAUTION! ZEROWIRE® G2 Transmitter and Receiver units are not compatible with earlier ZEROWIRE® G2 Transmitter and Receiver units. Passing video With the linking completed, the status LEDs should turn blue and the source image should appear on the dis- play. This completes the basic setup. NOTE! The Transmitter and Receiver are not limited to line-of-sight operation, i.e., the pair will op- erate reliably despite the presence of intervening obstacles.
Performance ZEROWIRE® G2 HD Wireless Video System is intended and optimized for use in surgical or procedure rooms. Use outside of a clinical environment is not recommended. The following steps will help you to achieve optimal performance of the ZEROWIRE® G2 system: 1.

Horizontal distance between Transmitter and Receiver ZEROWIRE® G2 operates correctly with a horizontal distance between Transmitter and Receiver of up to 30 feet (9.1 m). However, in the case of most OR environments, best results are achieved with a horizontal dis- tance of up to 8 feet (2.4 m). Max.
4.10 Non Line of Sight Operation The ZEROWIRE® G2 System can maintain a wireless link with partial obstructions. However, best performance is realized with a clear line-of-sight between units. In an OR environment, the ceiling mounted boom system and its spring arm junctions, along with surgical light heads, are large metal structures that can potentially block the wireless signals if they obstruct the line- of-sight between the Transmitter and Receiver (see illustration below).
4.11 Avoiding Co-Channel Interference If the ZEROWIRE® G2 deployment is a typical one-system per room, there are essentially no restrictions. The transmitter’s Channel Selection feature picks the channel that is least susceptible to interference from the two available channels based on the result of its scan at power on. Some of the factors affecting isolation of the ZEROWIRE®...
4.14 Signal Strength and OSD Diagnostic Messages When a receiver is connected to a monitor, self-explanatory diagnostic messages are displayed in the lower left corner of the screen to inform the user of the receiver’s current status. The messages will be displayed for 15 seconds, with the exception of Search for transmitter wireless signal failed and No wireless signal detected: ss=0 vm=NONE.
