Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may be present. Users are strongly recommended to return any equipment that requires RF servicing to Gigawave. WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment contain Gallium Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic substances.
It is important to note that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Gigawave use, a maximum power density limit (w) of 1w/m² is to be applied when calculating minimum safe working distances.
Different power density / frequency characteristics are presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of uncertainty, Gigawave recommends the use of a single power density limit across the frequency range 100 KHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.
Full details are given in the Gigawave Antennas data sheet. At the transmitting site a range of Gigawave digital transmitters may be used; for example the complementary MTV-HD2 and D-Cam Clip-On, and MVL-D2 transmitters are available in both H264 and MPEG-2 versions.

The OK button is used to store a modified parameter in non-volatile memory, this parameter will then be used to configure the MTV-HD3 receiver and will also become the default value when next powered on. The ESC button can be used to exit a menu without storing the parameter in memory.
When the receiver is locked to the transmitter and there are no alarms the button at the top left will show green. 5.4.2 Status and alarm screens These screens are accessed from the Overview screen by repeatedly pressing the ► button. 5.4.2.1 Signal status The following functions are displayed:- ...
5.4.2.3 Decoder information The following functions are displayed:- ASI status Network name Transport stream rate Compression type MPEG-2 or H264 Video format Genlock status 5.4.2.4 Unit status and alarms Provides the alarm status of individual modules within the receiver Setup menus To access the setup menus from the Status screens press the OK button.
5.5.1.2 Frequency Displays the frequencies assigned for the 16 preset channels. The ‘Man’ setting allows the transmit frequency to be set in 1MHz steps anywhere within the TX operating band. The OK button allows the ◄► buttons to select the required digit, the ▲▼ buttons then select the required value.
5.5.4.1.3 Audio output impedance The analogue audio output impedance may be set to either 600 Ohms or Low impedance Note: This function is only available in Advanced/Enabled. See 5.5.7.4 5.5.4.2 Digital outputs The two BNC digital outputs on the receiver front panel may independently be set to: Either - SDI –...
5.5.7.5 USB upgrade This feature allows the software in the MTV-HD3 receiver to be upgraded via the USB port on the rear panel of the unit. Instructions for the upgrade procedure are provided by the factory with the new software.
EU ETSI scrambling algorithm, BISS modes 1 and E. Set up of the BISS de-scrambling keys is through this menu. The MTV-HD3 receiver may either be configured to use a single key for all receiver channels, or allow different keys for each channel.
