Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration audio middle 4.1. Starting the transmitter When the transmitter is switched on it starts with an initialisation which automatically identifies the video norm of the input signal. The whole process takes no longer than 6 seconds. As soon as the initialisation is finished the display should look like the above picture.
Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration audio middle 4.3. Program selection Each program channel has an assigned frequency. Depending on device up to 16 programme channels are available. Press the „Arrow Up“ button in order to change the programme channel. Press the button until the desired programme channel is being displayed.
Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration HG middle 4.4. Modulation and transmission power Modulation and transmission power play an important role in the transmission. Modulation Choose „HG“ (High Gain) for a robust, almost faultless transmission. It is especially suitable for mobile applications without line-of-sight-connection between transmitter and receiver.

Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration HG middle 4.4. Modulation and transmission power In order to change the modulation and the transmission power, press the "OK" button. Please press the button until your desired setting appears on the display. 3 seconds after you have chosen your setting, this modification is saved automatically.
Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration audio off 4.5. Audio The audio signal is embedded in the video signal (“Embedded Audio”). The audio signal can be deactivated on request. As a result the saved data rate (~2MBit) leads to an increase of image quality.
Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration middle 4.6. Excess temperature Due to insufficient ventilation or too high ambient temperature the transmitter heats up during operation. If the maximum temperature exceeds 60°C, a blinking symbol appears instead of the audio display and shows the current temperature.
Configuration VTQ WMS HD - V/G-Mount TX 4. Configuration video signal 4.7. Info menu The info menu displays informations about video bitrate, temperature, firmware and manufacturer. Furthermore, your are able to perform a factory reset. You access the info menu by pressing the "OK" video signal button for a longer time.
