Product Overview 

The CW-5HD is a wireless transmission device which transmits HD SDI video and 
SDI audio with 5GHz band radio frequencies. CW-5HD TX is the transmitter, and 
connects to a video source such as a video camera. CW-5HD RX is the receiver, 
and connects to a monitor, for example. Video and audio from the video source 
can be seen / listened to from a distance without cable connections. Where a 
direct line-of-view is offered between CW-5HD TX and RX, the signals can be 
transmitted up to 50m (with the transmit output power in HIGH mode). 

 

Other features 

z

 

Supports HD-SDI/SD-SDI input and output. 

z

 

Transmitting HD video (1080i, 1080p, 720p) and SD video (525i/625i)   

z

 

Supporting SDI embedded audio. (Audio CH1 and CH2 only) 

z

 

Transmission delay is 1m/sec maximum. 

z

 

Signal protection by 256bit AES encryption (in UNICAST mode) 

z

 

The adoption of ‘MIMO’, which multiplexes wireless signals via multiple 
antennas in one channel, enables HD-SDI or SD-SDI transmission.   

z

 

Both automatic and manual selection of transmitted frequencies (4ch). 

z

 

Two-level select (HIGH/LOW) of transmit output power.   

z

 

Power can be supplied by V-Mount type Lithium Ion battery or by DC input, 
via XLR 4P connector.   

z

 

Back up power failure function enables immediate and automatic switching 
to a connected battery if the external DC connected power is disconnected.

   

 

* 

The transmission distance may vary depending on surroundings, radio wave conditions, 

buildings, etc., the transmission distance of approximately 50m is not guaranteed.   

* 

When CW-5HD is placed near a device such a TV, the TV image may be disrupted. Please 

increase the distance between TV and CW-5HD when this happens 

* 

In locations with many other devices operating in the 5GHz wireless bandwidth, CW-5HD 

operation can be affected, and images may be interrupted. 

* 

Signal reception may be affected by the position, height and angle of placement. If 

reception is not stable, please physically adjust placement for the optimised signal.
