Q.
Does the power level increase the distance of the HDS-PB100?
A. The adjustable power level will not increase distance, but rather increases signal intensity. For a
smaller deployment, not covering as much physical area, the power level may need to be decreased
as to not produce too ‘hot’ of a signal that is dif
fi
cult to tune in.
Q.
Why does the HDS-PB100 need to be connected to the internet?
A. Due to the FCC requiring an annual fee to use licensed white space channels, internet
connectivity is required in order for the polling of the HDS-PB100 to take place and verify the current
license.
Q.
Can I remotely mount the transmitting antenna away from the HDS-PB100 Pico Broadcaster?
A. If the HDS-PB100 needs to be situated in a setting that does not allow for an elevated installation
(i.e. AV Rack, IT Closet etc), you may provide a run of coax between the device and the antenna in
order install the antenna at an appropriate location allowing for proper placement. Note that as you
add coax between the antenna and the device, you also add attenuation.
Q.
Can I transmit a signal from my computer of a Presentation/File (i.e. PPTX, Spread sheets,
etc…)?
A. Currently the Peerless-AV streaming software allows preset AV
fi
les to be encoded properly and
streamed to the HDS-PB100. However, there is open source software that has the ability to stream
from a desktop, so no matter what is displayed on the desktop of a PC, the Broadcaster can transmit
the signal.
Q.
Can I give my broadcast a custom name?
A. Yes. On the
fi
rst page of the software you will see a
fi
eld that says "Channel Name". To the far
right of that click "Edit" and enter in the name of the channel as well as the actual channel number.
Click "OK".
