Common uses include law enforcement surveillance and video collection. The HDX-1100 supports H.264/MPEG-2 and HD/SD. The HDX-1100 can transmit DVB-T COFDM digital transmission (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM) consisting of a standard definition (SD) NTSC or PAL video signals or high- definition (HD) video signal (up to 1080i), plus two audio signals and an RS-232 data channel. The transmitter uses the MPEG-2 video compression format for high-quality imagery. The amplifier operates at 8W for all bands except 4940-4990 MHz which is limited to 1.0W maximum. Low power mode is typically 3 to 6 dB below the maximum rating. You can control the HDX-1100 with the touch screen user interface (see Section 3), or an optional remote control unit (RCU) (see Section 4). You also can configure the HDX-1100 with a PC using a web browser (see Section 5). 2 Operating in Safety Guidelines for safe operation are derived from OET bulletin 65, August 1997, as recommended by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). WARNING High levels of RF power are present in the unit. Exposure to RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be harmful to health. Remove power from the unit before disconnecting any RF cables and before inspecting damaged cables and/or antennas. Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish antenna) and never look into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may be present. The HDX-1100, operated without an antenna, will not create RF energy exceeding 1.0 mW/cm 2 , the FCC limit for exposure. Connecting an ant…

Radiated emission tests were conducted by Parker Chromerics in their laboratory facility in Woburn, MA, while the part 90 emission testing was conducted in the Vislink/Microwave Radio Communications facility in North Billerica, MA. The HDX1100C2 was designed to comply with permissible operation as specified in § 90.1205, for the transmission of video, audio, and data by a mobile transmitter. Under the referenced rules, the licensee may operate this equipment in a continuous and unattended mode if required. Typical applications may include surveillance, command center operations, emergency restoration, or other video, voice and data requirements as deemed necessary and appropriate for a specific mission. Technical Description: The HDX1100 FC3HDX044D is a compact, mobile transmitter, designed to be adaptable to a wide range of field applications; particularly those requiring ruggedized, vehicular mounted equipment. The transmitter accepts a wide range of SMPTE based video input signals, including HD-SDI, SDI, ASI, and NTSC. Raw video, audio, and data are delivered to an integral MPEG-2 Encoder which feeds a COFDM-DVB-T modulator, operating in the 2K carrier mode, to produce a 1705 carrier spectrum. The I and Q outputs of the COFDM modulator are supplied directly to an RF generator and up-converted to the operating band from 4940 to 4990 MHz at an RF power level of 100 mW (+20 dBm). A 10 dB gain RF amplifier follows the exciter to boost the final RF output power to + 30 dBm (1.0 Watt). The exciter RF drive level is factory set to limit the RF output from the PA to 1.0 Watt or less.

The symbol rate is limited to maintain the occupied bandwidth to be in compliance with the ETSI EN 300 744 V1.51 standards for an 8 MHz COFDM pedestal, which fits well in the aggregate 10 MHz channel bandwidth provision of § 90.1213. An LCD touch screen display located on the front panel of the transmitter is used to control basic transmission parameters and provide operational status of internal systems. The transmitter can also be operated from an external remote panel via hard wired RS-232 link.
