Tips

What is the recommended connection scheme when using one transmitter with multiple receivers?
For scenarios with no more than two receivers, it is recommended to turn off Broadcast mode, link in Control mode, and set the SDR channel to Auto (two receivers in Control mode should maintain a distance of more than 0.3 meters from each other).
For scenarios with more than two receivers, it is recommended to turn on Broadcast mode and manually select a channel. You can start by connecting one receiver and, based on its channel quality indicator, prioritize channels with a lower number that offer superior quality.
What is the recommended connection scheme when using multiple transmitters with multiple receivers?
When each transmitter is paired with no more than two receivers, it is recommended to turn off Broadcast mode, link in Control mode, and manually select a channel (receivers in Control mode should maintain a distance of more than 0.3 meters from each other).
When each transmitter is paired with more than two receivers, it is recommended to turn on Broadcast mode and manually select a channel. You can start by connecting one receiver and, based on its channel quality indicator, prioritize channels with a lower number that offer superior quality. Additionally, ensure the channels for different transmitters are staggered to avoid using the same or adjacent channels. For instance, if there are three transmitters, select channels 1, 3, and 5.
How do I troubleshoot if the device cannot be powered on properly?
When the transmitter is connected to a stabilizer:
1. Check whether the connection is correct. You can refer to the diagrams in the quick start guide.
2. Check whether the connection cable is the multi-camera control cable provided with the stabilizer, as third-party USB-C cables may not support power supply.

When using NP-F batteries for power supply:
Check whether the battery voltage is sufficient, as low voltage may prevent the device from powering on properly.

When powered via USB-C port:
Check whether you are using a power adapter that supports the PD protocol. Non-PD power adapters might not supply power correctly. For details, please refer to the power adapter compatibility list.
How do I troubleshoot if the monitoring screen is not displaying correctly?
1. Check whether the transmitter and receiver have successfully established a wireless connection. Successful connection information should be displayed on the main interface of the receiver.
2. On the receiver, check whether the video stream is being transmitted properly. If it is, video resolution, frame rate, and bitrate should be displayed. If these details are not showing properly, check the video status icon on the transmitter's main interface to ensure it is normal.
I keep seeing grid-like patterns consistently appearing on the monitoring screen; how can I troubleshoot this?
Check whether there is wireless interference:
Try switching channels based on the channel quality detection of the receiver and avoid overlap with other wireless channels on site.

Check whether there are obstructions:
1. Elevate the receiver to a higher position or minimize obstructions as much as possible.
2. Turn off Broadcast mode on the transmitter and set the SDR channel to Auto to enhance the wireless transmission performance.

Check whether the transmitters or receivers are too close to each other:
1. Transmitters should maintain a distance of more than 1 meter from each other.
2. Receivers in Control mode should maintain a distance of more than 0.3 meters from each other.

Check for cable-related issues:
If the grid-like patterns still occur when the receiver is moved to about 1 meter from the transmitter and the bitrate on the receiver's main interface continues to fluctuate significantly, it could be a cable-related issue. Consider switching to a different cable.
