System Configuration
Network System Configuration
Use of the Remote Control Unit RMU-01 and a computer on which Wireless Studio is installed allows configuration of a
Cross Remote network with expanded functions.
System Requirements
Configure a dedicated LAN for the DWX system using 100Base-TX/10Base-T Ethernet equipment. Do not use
an existing LAN.
Make sure that IP addresses of equipment do not conflict.
Operation is not guaranteed for connections utilizing wireless LAN access points.
ST mode and NT mode
The Sony digital wireless system supports two types of remote control: ST mode where a transmitter and
receiver communicate directly in a one-on-one configuration, and NT mode where the transmitter and receiver
communicate via the RMU-01 connected to the network.
System configuration for ST mode
Transmitter and receiver communicate directly in a one-on-one configuration. When the receiver is placed
within a main UHF service area, Cross Remote can be used within a range of about 10 meters from the
receiver.
Notes
Within a single Cross Remote service area, control should be limited to six transmitters (three receivers). To
control more than six transmitters, the NT mode system should be used.
As the DWR-S01D is not equipped with a network terminal, it can only operate in ST mode.
The DWR-R01D allows connection of a computer and use of Wireless Studio for transmitter monitoring and
control also in ST mode.
System configuration for NT mode
Transmitters and receivers communicate via the Remote Control Unit RMU-01 connected to a network. One
RMU-01 unit can control up to 82 transmitters. The service area range is about 10 meters from the Remote
Control Unit RMU-01. Up to nine RMU-01 units can be used within a system, which allows expanding the
service area.
Notes
If at least one RMU-01 unit is connected to the system, remote control always operates in NT mode.
Keep in mind that the internal 2.4 GHz antenna of the DWR-R01D ceases to operate in NT mode.
The DWR-S01D does not support NT mode.
Operation from receiver and operation from computer
Transmitter monitoring can be controlled from a receiver or from a computer on which Wireless Studio is
installed.
Operation from receiver
Transmitter monitoring can be controlled while checking the transmitter settings on the receiver display.
When the DWR-S01D is mounted on a camcorder, operation from the camcorder menu screen is also
possible.
Note
Although the built-in 2.4 GHz antenna of the DWR-R01D will stop functioning in NT mode, remote control from
the DWR-R01D is still possible, without the use of a computer. (Operation in conjunction with a computer is
also possible.)
Operation from a computer
Transmitter monitoring can also be controlled from a Windows computer that has the Wireless Studio
application installed.
Up to 6 computers can be used in a single system.
Note
Transmitter monitoring control is also possible via a connected computer in ST mode (DWR-R01D only).
(Refer to Figures 3 and 4 in the “System configuration examples” section.)
