DynaPIX® TRIAD™ Wireless Video Diversity System Overview Congratulations! You've purchased or are renting a “true” diversity wireless video system, with up to five receivers installed. Dynamic Triad is a third generation system, reflecting numerous upgrades and improvements over the past five years. We hope that it meets your expectations, and we're prepared to assist you to make sure you're satisfied.
Quick Start: OK, your event starts in two hours and you're just opening this case. It's the first time you've ever seen a wireless video system. Reading a manual just isn’t going to happen. Don't despair! The next two pages will give you the basics you need to know. 1. Open the case, and remove the top two sets of foam. A lot of stuff, but it goes together easily. 2. From the bottom set of foam, remove the VTX transmitter.
7. Your next step will be to determine receiving antenna placement. This will also dictate where the receiver rack will be located, especially if you are using the standard 12’ long antenna cables. If you do the following, you will improve video performance: « Mount the antennas as high as possible, preferably above head level + Spread the antennas out as much as possible + Make sure there are no obstructions between the transmitter and the antennas, i.e.
5. Now turn your camera “on” and your transmitter “on”. Select channel “A” on both the transmitter and receiver. 6. Turn all receivers “on”. You should see a green LED appear above each RSI signal display, indicating each receiver is receiving power. You should also see video on your monitor. 7. Optional: You may try channels B and C as well, as one may be better than the others. Make sure both transmitter and receivers are set to the same channel. 8.
System Components: Your TRIAD system has four major components: VTX Series Transmitter Transmitter Antenna TRIAD Receiver Rack Receiver Antennas “ov 0 VEX-100 and VEX-250 Transmitters The VEX-100 is a FCC Part 15 approved transmitter, with an output power of approximately 5 MW using the omnibus-directional rod antenna supplied with the unit. No user license is required for operation in the United States or Canada.
Universal Connector Pin 1: 11-32 Vdc input Max. Input current: 600 mA. Pin 2: LTC Data Input Input impedance: 75 ohms Input format: SMOTE LTC Pin 3: Video Input Input impedance: 75 ohms Input feel: 1 Vp Pin 4: Ground Pin 5 and 6: Right Positive and Negative Balanced Inputs Balanced mode: Input impedance: 10k ohms.
QP1920045 REV A The VTX Series has three switches on the camera operator side of the transmitter: + Power On/Off « Channel A,B,C three position switch LTC Time Code Text burn-in window On/Off LED's are provided to indicate which position is active. When your LTC Time Code switch is in the “ON” position, you will automatically have a time code window appears in the video transmission.
Transmitter Antennas All VTX series transmitters come with an unidirectional, Right Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP), 5 dBi rod antenna. The patter to this antenna is found in the attached addendum. This antenna works best when in the vertical position. An antenna extender (EYE-1) is available as an option. The EYE-1 comes with a break away connector, bumped hard, the EYE-1's connector will break, not the bulk head connector on the transmitter.
TRIAD Wireless Video Receiver Rack The TRIAD wireless video receiver rack is a single rack height unit that contains up to five receivers. Each receiver has its own antenna connector. In addition, it contains a logic board (used to determine which receiver is optimal at any point in time, and switch automatically) and power supply board. The logic board contains a multi-pin header, breaking out many video signals for future upgrades.
Using the On/Off Switch during Installation: Use the Receiver On/Off switch (Not the Power On/Off switch!) during installation. Start by turning all receivers “OFF”. Then, connect your first antenna to the antenna output on the back of the unit associated with “RX. Turn the video transmitter “ON”. Check the LED signal strength indicator on RX1. Position the antenna so you have maximum signal strength on the RX1 signal strength LED display. Turn “Of BX1, and repeat this set of instructions starting with RX2.
Make sure that you have as unobstructed a view between the camera transmitter and the antenna array as possible. In general, higher is better! Try to locate the antenna array above cars and “head level". If you have a Studio system, you will have one or more unidirectional, circularly polarized antennas as well as directional, high gain patch antennas. They are likely mounted in our "Quick Grip Mount”. Each high gain patch antenna has a 36° beam width.
