Getting Ready
1. Connect the antennas to the SMA ports on
your devices.
2. Power your devices. Find details about
proper powering options in the product
manual provided on our website.
3. Connect an SDI or HDMI signal to the
transmitter's input (SDI will be prioritized)
4. Connect the receiver to the monitoring-
recording or distribution device of you
joice.
Establishing a Connection
Use the power switch to turn on your
transmitter and receiver(s). Make sure that
your devices are set to the same frequency
channel. (see "Choosing a Channel")
It takes between 10-30 seconds for the
transmitter to connect to the receiver. During
this brief period, the receiver's video output
displays "Waiting for connection".
Once the transmitter recognizes a video
input, the video format will be displayed on
the OLED display.
DC-SCAN & Antenna Check
DC-SCAN is a built in frequency scanner. To
enter DC-SCAN, connect a monitor to the
HDMI output of your receiver, then press
and hold the – button on the receiver for
3 seconds. The frequency scanner is only
available on the HDMI output. To leave
DC-SCAN press and hold the – button again.
Entering DC-SCAN from channel 0 will also
show the antenna status: green = OK, red
= not OK
Country-specific Regulations
Observe country specific rules that prohibit
the use of wireless transmission under certain
conditions!
Antenna Positioning
Position the antennas on transmitter and
receiver as shown on the back of your DC-
LINK device. This ensures the best possible
RF performance. Install the transmitter and
the receiver as high as possible (at least
2 meters above ground level) to maintain
a good line-of-sight. During operation, try
to keep the transmitter and the receiver at
similar heights.
Avoid obstacles such as walls, trees, water
and steel structures between transmitter and
receiver.
The connection is at its strongest when the
flat surfaces of the transmitter and receiver
face each other.
RSSI Display
The RSSI (Wireless Received Signal
Strength Indicator) display shows the
strength of the signal, allowing the operator
to ensure the system is working reliably.
