Digital Receiver • Frequency: Again, the receiver channels are paired. In this mode, each channel is set to a different frequency. The DSQD automatically uses whichever receiver’s RF signal quality is better. The use of separate frequencies helps minimize dropouts caused by multi-path phenomenon. This technique uses both switched and vector diversity for maximum effectiveness.
• Universal: This is the most convenient en- cryption option available. All encryption-capable • D2: Encrypted digital wireless channel Lectrosonics transmitters and receivers contain • DCHX: Two channel encrypted mode. the Universal Key. The key does not have to be generated by the DSQD.
Digital Receiver Choose Transmitter: Choose one of four Rx chan- nels by using the Channel Selector Buttons, 1, 2, 3 or 4. Hold and press the Channel Selector Button to initiate sync. 2.
