1. DESCRIPTION & FEATURES
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The GoPac is a multi-functional transmitter
docking station and amplifier, designed
specifically to provide extended range
operation for low power camera back
transmitters, however the GoPac can also be
used with units other than camera back
transmitters.
A camera back transmitter can be mounted
onto the GoPac using standard Anton Bauer
Battery (or IDX) mounting clips, and the RF
output is routed to the GoPac input via N-type
connectors. If desired, the two units can be
separated up to 100 feet using SF214 RF
cable. In either configuration, an appropriate
antenna either attaches directly to the RF
output of the GoPac, or can be remoted using
RF cable.
The standard GoPac is pre-configured for
either single or dual band operation, with
coverage of the following US frequency
bands:
• 1.99 – 2.70 GHz
• 6.40 – 7.10 GHz
Other frequency coverage may be available,
please contact Nucomm for specifics.
This manual is written in general form to
cover all typical configurations and options
for the GoPac.
1.2 FEATURES
The GoPac was specifically designed to
support ultra portable ENG.
POWER OUTPUT
Typically camera back transmitters are limited
to less than 250 mW of output power, limiting
their range. For extended range operation, the
GoPac docking station/amplifier outputs up to
5W digital (optional up to 8W digital).
POWER SOURCES
The GoPac features a built-in universal power
supply which operates on power ranging from
90 to 240 VAC (40 to 60Hz), or +11 to +32
VDC without the need for internal jumpers or
switch settings.
A camera back transmitter can be attached to
the GoPac and be powered via the integrated
IDX (Sony “V" clip) or Anton Bauer battery
adapter plates.
STANDBY MODE
The GoPac has a rotary switch for selecting
the unit to Standby mode; however an
integrated detector circuit inhibits the GoPac
from transmitting in the absence of an RF
signal from the external device.
In Standby Mode the RF output is muted. If
an external RF source is applied to the input
connector, rotating the GoPac selector switch
to one of the transmit modes will result in an
instantaneous on-frequency transmission.
INTERNAL SELF-TEST
The GoPac has a built-in self-test feature,
which checks the unit for functionality and
several internal parameters. Should an error
or malfunction be detected, the red alarm LED
will illuminate and an alarm message will be
displayed on the LCD.
