PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The VBLASTER-2400 is a two-channel analog FM, video transmission system operating
in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The VBLASTER-2400 provides a cost effective solution to
long-range transmission available for law enforcement or government applications. The
ISM band is an unlicensed band allocated by the FCC, however, the transmitter is
designated for PART 90 use and requires a license to be obtained by the end user. In
addition to the enhanced performance, the VBLASTER-2400 provides a rudimentary
security feature, which decreases the ability of unwanted parties from receiving and re-
broadcasting the transmitted signal. This feature is built into the transmitter and receiver.
Keep in mind that with the addition of the security feature, the receiver will not work
with off-the-shelf transmitter systems.
Transmitter
The VBLASTER-2400 transmitter is shown in Figure 1. The transmitter is for
integration inside a camera only. It has a 75 ohm coaxial cable for video and two wires
for power with an integrated antenna. The system must be installed to operate at a
minimum of 20 cm away for the user’s body and 2cm away from the hands.
The transmitter is supplied with an integrated disk antenna to comply with FCC
regulations and is not interchangeable. Any attempt to operate the system without an
antenna or an antenna that is not manufacturer approved will result in damage to the
system and will nullify any warranty.
TRANSMITTER OPERATION
To turn the transmitter on, be sure that NTSC video is applied to the transmitter. Apply
power to the power port and turn the camera on and insure that the camera is operational.
