    CONTENTS 1. Product overview The CW-7 is a wireless transmission device which transmits HD-SDI/SDI video and audio with 5GHz band radio frequencies. TX is the transmitter, and connects to a video source such as a video camera. RX is the receiver, and connects to a monitor, for example.
  • Page 10 Attention * The transmission distance may vary depending on frequencies, surroundings, radio wave conditions, buildings, weather condition etc. The transmission distance of 50m (150ft) is not definite. * When CW-7 is placed near a device such a TV, the transmitted video image may be disrupted.

  • Page 16: Link Initialization

    3.2. CW-7 Link initialization When the power switch is turned on, TX and RX will start searching for a frequency that it can be linked to. It will change the link mode if it is in operation or the transmission signal is lost. The three LED lights will cycle ON and OFF, starting from bottom to top until it is firmly linked.
  • Page 17: Selecting Frequencies And Power Output

    4. Selecting frequencies and power output FREQ SELECT switch is equipped on both TX and RX. POWER MODE switch is located on TX side only. FREQ SELECT switch is used to select transmission and receiving frequency. FREQ SELECT switch must be same position on both TX and RX. POWER MODE switch enables you to change the transmission power, HIGH or LOW.

    4.2. DFS function When the FREQ SELECT switch selects DFS AUTO, DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) function will be enabled. If DFS detects radio waves of weather radar (using 5GHz band) the system will automatically search other available frequency band to avoid interference. The DFS function is regulated by the radio standard for use the frequencies of 5250-5300MHz and 5470-5725MHz.

    5. Link mode -UNICAST/MULTICAST UNI/MULTI switch is used to select the link mode. UNI/MULTI select switch is located on both TX and RX and must be set in the same mode. 5.1. UNICAST mode (1 to 1 communication) When UNI/MULTI switch is set to UNI position, CW-7 links in UNICAST mode.
  • Page 20: Multicast Mode (1 To N Communication)

    5.2. MULTICAST mode (1 to n communication) When UNI/MULTI switch is set to MULTI position, the CW-7 links in MULTICAST mode. In MULTICAST mode, the transmitted video and audio can be received by multiple RX. Please note that if MULTICAST mode had been selected, there is no AES encryption.

    Please obtain each of the following items as needed for your specific application before use.  BNC cable for HD-SDI IN and OUT.  IDX ENDURA batteries or external power supply Note: Power supply; Use only an AC adaptor or batteries specified below.
  • Page 22: When Signal Reception Is Unstable

    6.3. When signal reception is unstable Unstable signal reception may be caused by the placement, such as position, height and angle of TX and RX or the operating environment. When TX and RX are placed too close to each other, the transmission signal may become too strong and may disturb the video signal.
  • Page 23: Important Notice

    TX and RX is 3m or less. CW-7 has a built-in antenna and modification of adding external antenna is not authorized by IDX. This may affect the performance of CW-7 and void IDX standard warranty. SDI signal complies with SMPTE-292M/SMPTE-259M however, clock jitter may exceed the regulated values caused by link condition.
