2  INTRODUCTION 

 
 
This manual is to be used in conjunction with the D-Cam Clip-On unit (CCAM-0104) which 
replaced the original 0101 & 0102  variants.  The upgrade from 0101 to 0102 added the 
extra feature of an SDI input. The upgrade from 0102 to 0104 added the extra features of  
frequency selection to 0.5MHz increments.  For details of the receiver please refer to the 
relevant manual. 
 
The Gigawave D-Cam Clip-On Wireless Camera system is designed for all applications, 
both indoor and outdoor, in which a mobile camera is essential to the televised programme 
production.  The unique modular design of the Gigawave D-Cam Clip-On ensures 
complete flexibility to change compression and modulation techniques to suit each 
individual task required, from low delay or to the most rugged of RF signal paths. 
 
The system is comprised of the Clip-On transmitter that contains an audio encoder, video 
encoder, COFDM modulator, power supplies and an RF power amplifier.  Attached directly 
to this transmitter is an omni-directional antenna. 
  
At the receive site the MVL-D two-box digital Receiver is used. No external decoders or 
demodulators are required with this Receiver. The MVL-D is a two box rugged portable 
system developed from proven technology from the analogue MVL series of Receivers 
and Transmitters.
