CAUTION!
For a long product life, we highly recomment NOT to operate your DC-LINK
with permanently switched off fans. Whenever you are operating your
devices without cooling, monitor the temperature and make cooling
breaks­when­the­indicator­on­your­display­is­flashing­(60°C­/­140°F).
THE DEVICES DO NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY OUT!
If you allow your devices to get too hot, you might cause serious damage of
your equipment.
Metadata Cross Translation*
Camera metadata is transmitted through SDI only. On your XS3 HDMI receiver,
the incoming information is translated into HDMI, which allows you to use meta-
data bound features, like automatic recording on your monitor.
Fan Control & Cinema Mode
Fan control allows you to turn the fans of the devices on or off to keep them
cool but also prevent unwanted noise. Press MENU to navigate to the fan menu
and select the desired state by using + or - .
AUTO indicates cinema mode, which triggers the fans using the start / stop flags
of the camera. Once you hit record, the fan will stop, ensuring total silence.
After recording, it will turn back on automatically. Cinema mode is bound to
metadata support.*
√ switches the fans on permanently. X switches the fans off.
Encryption
In encryption mode, the transmitter sends an encoded signal that only linked
receivers can read, making it easy to protect confidential content that is not
meant for everyone’s eyes.
To activate encryption mode, press the MENU button until ENC is flashing. Use +
or – to check either
✓
ENC or X ENC and confirm with MENU.
To link your devices, set your transmitter and all the receivers to the same chan-
nel, then activate encryption on your transmitter. All receivers will follow into en-
cryption mode automatically. Settings remain active after turning your devices
off. This means that ENC can be prepared prior to shooting and will stay active
unless you turn it off.
A linked receiver does not HAVE to stay linked. To take a receiver out of the en-
crypted system, simply turn off ENC. Then you can easily access another (unen-
crypted) transmitter’s images by choosing the referring channel within seconds.
To link back to the previous (encrypted) transmitter, turn ENC on again.
* Due to various standards metadata compatibility can be limited. Improvements are made constant-
ly. Please check latest firmware.
