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 there is no interference from other devices broadcasting
within range. This is especially useful during large events such as sports or news broadcasts where
multiple cameras are operating simultaneously. For all available frequencies, refer to the
chart.
NOTE: Fixed Frequency Mode must first be enabled to select a specific licensed channel. Otherwise,
Ranger will automatically select a licensed channel (Auto Mode).
Select Bandwidth
The Bandwidth menu lets you choose between 40MHz (default) and 20MHz operating modes. Ensure
that both the transmitter and receiver are set to the same bandwidth with a resolution of up to 1080p60.
For all available frequencies, refer to the
chart.
•
20MHz
- Reduces the amount of bandwidth by half, effectively doubling the number of usable
frequencies while decreasing interference.
•
40MHz
- (
Default
) Increases the amount of bandwidth by bonding two 20MHz frequencies, allowing
for faster transfer rates but increased interference.
NOTE: 20MHz mode supports HD/3G resolutions up to 1080p60. Resolutions up to 4k30 are also
supported but downscaled to 1080p before transmission (4k50/59/60 is not supported).
Select Frequency
The Frequencies menu contains a list of all available frequencies. Ranger will automatically select an
operating frequency when multiple values are selected. If both the transmitter and receiver have
Fixed
Frequency Mode
enabled, you can only select one frequency for Ranger to use. Frequencies marked
with (DFS) must be scanned for one minute before they can be used, but are typically less crowded. For
all available frequencies, refer to the
chart.
Video Quality (TX only)
The Video Quality menu lets you adjust the balance between your signal’s maximum range and quality
according to the number of antennas used to transmit fine information. Ranger has three picture quality
levels that vary based on the lowest quality link or the furthest receiver.
•
Auto Mode
- (
Default
) Transmitter automatically determines how many fine antennas are needed
based on the range and signal quality.
•
Longer Distance Mode
- Maintains the maximum range in situations where other sources of
interference might be present, but will slightly reduce your video signal’s maximum quality.
