Receiver
The VBLASTER-2400 receiver shown in Figure 2 is two-channel ready and is designed
for portability. In order for the receiver to be fully operational, three connections must be
made. The first is the video output port. This port is used to display the image on a
monitor or television set. Any monitor that can accept NTSC (standard) video will
display the image generated by the receiver. An adapter kit is available to display the
image on a laptop or personal computer through K&A Wireless, LLC.
The second connection to be made on the receiver is the antenna port. This port is used
to connect the antenna to the receiver. The connector that is mounted to the receiver is a
standard SMA-type, BNC-type or TNC-type connector. This port, as shown in Figure 2,
can also be used to connect various antennas to the receiver to increase performance of
the system. A high-gain antenna is provided with the receiver units. To optimize
performance, K&A Wireless has a number of additional optional high-gain antennas that
are available for purchase. High-gain antennas are used to increase the sensitivity of the
receiver by focusing the energy onto the receiver. In order to achieve the optimum
performance, the antenna must be facing the transmitter.
The third port is the power port. The manufacturer of the VBLASTER-2400 supplies a
cigarette lighter adapter and a wall adapter for use with the power port on the receiver
unit. Manufacturer supplied wall transformers and cigarette lighter adapters have been
tested to comply with the receiver. Any attempt to use power supplies that are not
manufacturer approved will result in nullification of the warranty.
The receiver also includes a channel selector switch. Each receiver can accommodate up
to two transmitters operating on two different channels. By scrolling through the
channels, the images transmitted by the individual transmitters can be displayed.
