www.cobham.com/domo SOLO4 - Bodywire Transmitter COFDM – Video, Audio Telemetry and IP Products April 2009 Data Sheet The most important thing we build is trust The SOLO4 Bodywire Transmitter is a COFDM digital video transmitter from Cobham Surveillance, designed specifically for covert video installations and body-worn applications. With domo technology at its core, the small size and low power consumption (typically 4W or less) of the SOLO4 Bodywire make it the product of choice for covert video hides, or applications requiring long term battery power deployments, small unmanned aerial vehicles, and body-worn or bodywire use. The SOLO4 Bodywire transmitter employs MPEG2 encoding (MPEG4 is also available) for excellent image quality retention. Equipped with integral COFDM modulation, the SOLO4 transmitter is ideal for establishing rugged wireless video links in all environments, including mobile and urban environments. Offering several user-selectable modes that trade off image quality against range, the SOLO4 transmitter is ideal for all mission types. The SOLO4 Bodywire includes RF up-conversion and PA circuitry to make a complete single board transmitter. SOLO4 Bodywire is supplied in a simple lightweight case with attached Lemo cable connectors. Security is ensured with optional AES128/256 Encryption. The SOLO4 Bodywire transmitter will transmit images in a non-line of sight environment up to 750m, depending on mode and frequency; further range can be achieved with the booster PA.
