Instruction Manual
Thank you for choosing the CW-3. The CW-3 is a wireless transmission device which transmits video and audio with 5GHz
band radio frequencies. Please read this instruction manual to best maximize performance and safely use your CW-3.
SAFETY INSTRUCIONS
To use this product safely and correctly, please follow the safety
precautions set out below. Product misuse may cause fire, shock,
injury, product failure or other hazards. Please read this manual
before using your CW-3 and retain for future reference.
CAUTION
Fire or electric shock may cause injury or other accidents.
Before using an external power supply, always check that the voltage is
within the specified range and that the polarity of the connector is correct,
to prevent smoke or fire.
Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or repair this product by yourself. It
may cause fire or electric shock. Please consult your dealer or local IDX
office for inspection and repair services.
Do not use this product near water or in high humidity environments. It
may cause fire or electric shock.
In case of damage, smoke, unusual smell or other unusual/unexpected
situations, stop use immediately and consult your dealer or local IDX
office.
If ventilation openings are blocked, this may cause excessive heat or
damage.
After long periods of continuous use, please be cautious of touching the
case of the unit as it may become overheated.
Using the CW-3 in an environment with a lot of moisture, soot or dust may
cause excessive heat or electric shock.
Do not place this product on an uneven or a vibrating surface. It may
cause failure or damage.
Warning
This product can be used in indoor only, it is recommended to keep it at
least 20cm away from user to ensure safety.
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral device).
Caution on the use of this product and radio waves
This product has been approved for technical standard compliance certifi-
cation as a wireless device of radio stations with low antenna power
specified under the FCC (in US) / ETSI (in Europe) Radio wave regula-
tion. Thereby a license for radio station use is not required for operation.
This product is allowed to be used only in designated region by IDX.
This product is pursuant to the appropriate regulations and can be used
outdoors as well.
CW-3 uses 5GHz band radio frequencies and will not interfere with medi-
cal devices. However, when in use, it is recommended to keep the CW-3
at least 30cm (12in.) away from medical devices to ensure safety.
Features
Supported 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI input and output.
Transmitter provides SDI buffered output.
Enable to transmit uncompressed video wirelessly about
50m/150ft LOS.
Transmission delay is less than 1msec.
Signal is encoded by 128bit AES encryption.
DFS functionality allows for both indoor and outdoor use.

Setup and Operation
1) Mount the TX onto camera by using mounting adaptor then attach
the supplied antenna to TX. Connect the SDI cable between camera
and TX then connect the supplied DC cable between the DC IN of
TX and D-TAP connector on battery or P-V plate.
2) Plug in an AC adapter to RX and, then, connect between SDI out of
RX and monitor.
3) Turn ON the power switch of both TX and RX then CW-3 will
automatically starts searching for available frequency.
4) A LINK LED flashes when the system is in search mode and then
turns SOLID as soon as system links firmly.
5) A VIDEO LED turns off when video signal is in lost or failed.
Note
The feature as wireless transmitting and receiving can only be acti-
vated when the CW-3 connects to other related wireless receiver.
In the areas where other 5GHz wireless devices are in operation,
transmission may be interrupted.
CW-3 is programmed region code accordingly so that the transship-
ment and use in the unspecified region may violate local law.
The maximum transmission range varies depending on the sur-
rounding environment such as radio wave conditions, composition of
the wall, weathering, etc.. therefore the specification of the trans-
mission range is not a definite range.
And unstable signal reception may be caused by the height, angle
and distance between TX and RX.
Please do not press the button on the TX and RX. Please turn the
power off if the system stop working after accidentally pressed these
buttons.
DFS Functions
DFS is the abbreviation of “Dynamic Frequency Selection”. DFS de-
tects the radio waves of weather radar and the CW-3 automatically
searches for an available frequency to avoid interference. LINK TIME
takes approximately one minute.
Using GPI output
A TX provides GPI output. GPI output is an open collector output in
synchronization with the status of wireless link. Thus, now it is possible
to interface with an external tally device for better viewing. Please note
that the external tally device should be VCC 24V/40mA or less.
Specifications
Warranty & Service
Warranty period of the CW-3 is two years after purchase.
Warranty may be voided even within the warranty period when
IDX noticed followings:
Improper use of CW-3 / Malfunction due to excess or defi-
ciency of power / Malfunction due to power short circuit /
Physical damages caused by dropping or vibration / Mal-
function due to water / Unauthorized used and/or modifica-
tion done by customer
