Power Consumption
The DFT features extremely low power consumption.
In addition, the DFT’s hibernate mode is
specifically designed to save battery power when not being used. This mode lets the DFT power
down to all but the minimum required circuitry to listen for instructions. Hibernate to full power
takes less than 12 seconds.

Transmitter Electrical Description
The transmitter is a two-board solution, with a simple aluminum chassis and external connectors. It
consists of two main boards; the encoder board and the modulator/RF board.
The encoder board handles all video input processing, digital pre-distortion, and encoding. The
FPGA, which in addition to the SDI block and digital pre-distortion, features an embedded processor
used for local encoder processing. The encoder is an H.264 HD encoder.
The IQ Modulator/RF board generates the carrier frequency, modulates, and amplifies the signal.
The detected output from the amplifier is looped back for the ALC circuitry. It also carries both the
Wi-Fi and 900 MHz transceivers with an embedded ARM Processor for
the transmitters’ main
controller.
