Description
The SYNK Wireless System uses a radio-frequency (RF) link to deliver high-definition video signals in real time. Each system uses a portion of the RF spectrum commonly referred to as a “channel” to broadcast its signal.
Channel Number = (Frequency in MHz – 5000) / 5
The SYNK Wireless System can use any available 20 MHz channel in the 5�15-5�825 GHz spectrum�
The list of allowed channels is regulated and varies by region�
The 5�15-5�825 GHz spectrum is also used by 802�11a/n devices as well as 5�8 GHz cordless phones� The SYNK Wireless System uses an automatic frequency selection (AFS) mechanism in combination with a passive scanning capability to maintain compatibility with these devices�
Using AFS and passive scanning, the system will identify an unoccupied 20 MHz channel for use�
Each linked SYNK Wireless System requires one 20 MHz channel� Systems that are separated by a large distance may use the same channel�
Note: The SYNK wireless system uses a proprietary transmission method, which cannot connect to or be accessed by 802.11 devices
In order to make sure that there are enough free channels for each SYNK System, follow the steps
outlined below:
1� Contact your IT administrator to determine if 802�11a or 802�11n WiFi is in use at your facility�
If so, note which channels are in use in or near each SYNK System installation location�
2� Determine if any 5�8 GHz cordless phones are in use at your facility� If so, note their locations�
3� For each SYNK System installation location, ensure that there are two unused channels per
SYNK Transmitter installed� If a 5�8 GHz cordless phone is used in the vicinity, assume that
channels 149-165 are occupied�
