TX/RX Configuration Menus
Wireless Settings
Switch TX
(RX Only)
- Ranger receivers can pair with up to four transmitters simultaneously. Switch TX
allows you to quickly switch from one paired transmitter's camera feed to another paired transmitter.
This feature is handy in multi-camera situations when you need to switch to a different camera's view
mid-shoot without having to perform the pairing process every time.
NOTE: The transmitter(s) must
first be paired with the receiver
.
Band
- Select either the 5GHz or 6GHz wireless frequency. The 5GHz frequency provides more channels
but is utilized by more devices, resulting in frequent interferences and video dropouts. The 6GHz
frequency is less crowded than the 5GHz frequency, resulting in faster connections and less
interference.
Enable Broadcast Mode (TX Only)-
Broadcast Mode allows you to transmit to multiple receivers
simultaneously (non-DFS frequencies only) while extending your Ranger's transmission range. (On
supported models)
◦
Broadcast Mode Disabled (
Standard Multicast Mode
)
- Transmitter and connected receiver(s)
coordinate and maintain two-way communication to optimize frequency usage and video
transmission.
◦
Broadcast Mode Enabled
- Data uplink channel is disabled, allowing the transmitter to connect to an
unlimited number of receivers, as long as they have already been paired. Attach the receiver to your
Panel Antenna while in Broadcast Mode to achieve even better range performance.
Enable Fixed Frequency
- Fixed Frequency Mode allows your transmitter to designate a specific non-
DFS channel within the selected wireless region for use, providing a stronger connection under
challenging environments.
NOTE: By default, Ranger will select the lowest available frequency from the
Frequencies list if one has yet to be selected beforehand.
Allow Licensed Channels
- Enable or disable Licensed Channel selection within the
Frequencies
menu.
Ranger supports an extended RF range of 4.9GHz to 6.0GHz, which includes both unlicensed and
licensed channels. Selecting a specific licensed channel ensures no interference from other devices
broadcasting within range.
NOTE: Fixed Frequency Mode must first be enabled to select a specific
licensed channel. Otherwise, Ranger will automatically select a licensed channel (Auto Mode).
Bandwidth
- Choose between 20MHz and 40MHz bandwidth options
Frequencies
- Select which frequency to use (determined by
Fixed Frequency Mode
selection).
Video Quality -
The Video Quality menu lets you adjust the balance between your signal’s maximum
range and quality according to the number of antennas that transmit fine information. Ranger has
several picture quality levels that vary based on the lowest quality link or the furthest receiver.
