Features
The URX-S03D UHF Synthesized Diversity Tuner is a
two-channel slot-in wireless tuner that can be used in
conjunction with Sony professional camcorders and
optional wireless adapters.
Two-channel camcorder-slot-in receiver
The unit is a camcorder slot-in receiver that supports
systems that include two transmitters operating
simultaneously. If your camcorder does not support slot-
in mounting, you can attach the unit to an optional DWA-
01D or DWA-F01D wireless adapter.
XDCAM compatibility
The two channels of digital signals processed by the
unit’s DSP can be sent directly to the camcorder via the
15-pin D-sub connector. The RF/AF levels of each
wireless microphone can also be viewed via the
camcorder’s viewfinder.
HDCAM compatibility
The units’ single channel of analog output signals can be
sent directly to the camcorder via the 15-pin D-sub
connector. Two different audio signals sent from two
transmitters can also be mixed for output as a single-
channel audio signal.
The RF/AF levels of each wireless microphone can also
be viewed via the camcorder’s viewfinder. When both
channels are enabled, channel 1 is displayed. When only
one channel is enabled, that channel is displayed.
True diversity system
The unit is equipped with two lines of reception for each
channel that can receive signals from the transmitter
simultaneously. The true diversity system determines the
stronger of the two antennas signals and selects it
automatically, achieving highly stable reception with
minimal interruption and noise across a wide area.
Compatibility with Sony analog wireless
microphones
The built-in DSP enables digital companding for high-
quality audio transmissions. Switching to compander
mode allows operation in conjunction with Sony analog
wireless microphone system (UWP series and WRT
series) transmitters.
High-visibility display
The area of the display screen is twice that of previous
models, providing enhanced visibility. The built-in
backlight also allows easy settings changing in even the
darkest of shooting locations.
Channel scanning
Clear channel scanning for detecting unoccupied
channels and active channel scanning for detecting used
channels allow you to quickly assess the situation at a
location and configure the appropriate channel.
Built-in infrared communication function
When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series
transmitters, the frequency and compander mode settings
configured on the unit can be sent using the infrared
communication function, allowing you to complete
channel configurations quickly.
Sturdy construction for use outdoors
Designed to withstand rough outdoor conditions with its
solid dust-proof body, the unit meets JIS II drip-resistance
standards when mounted on a camcorder with its
antennas attached.
Switchable squelch function
A squelch function that can be turned on or off depending
on the situation is available.
