About the HDX-1100
The KamelyonTM HDX-1100 high power digital
microwave transmitter is a ruggedized unit
designed to support high quality video and data
transmission in airborne and mobile applications, where
vibration, shock, humidity, and temperature swings
are everyday occurrences. The HDX-1100 is compliant
with aircraft industry mounting standards, making it
perfectly suited for airborne or ground based
mobile platforms. Typical applications include real
time video for law enforcement, public safety, fire,
utility, and other agency based surveillance tasks.
The HDX-1100 includes an H.264/MPEG-4
encoder that provides standard or high
definition (SD or HD) video on DVB-T/
COFDM, or Vislink RangeMasterTM single
carrier modulation. An MPEG-2 encoder
option is available to support legacy
receivers.
Video inputs may be configured for
composite NTSC or PAL in standard analog
formats, or digital video in SDI, HD-SDI, or
ASI formats. Other inputs include two full
range audio channels, and an RS-232 data
channel. Model are available to cover the

Operating in Safety
Guidelines for safe operation are derived from OET bulletin 65, August 1997, as recommended
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
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.
WARNING
The HDX-1100, operated without an antenna will not create RF energy exceeding 1.0 mW/cm2,
the FCC limit for exposure. Connecting an antenna to the unit greatly enhances the potential for
harmful exposure, and you must maintain a certain distance from the radiator. The following
table shows the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) safe distances from the antenna.

Safe Distance (in)
Note
Hazardous RF radiation limits and recommended distances may vary by
country. Observe all applicable state and federal regulations when using this
transmitter.
To perform calculations to understand the safe exposure margin (MPE), use the following
formula suggested by OET 65. The calculations provided are for common antennas often used
in the mobile microwave environment.
Calculating MPE
EIRP = P * (10 ^ (G / 10)) = (antilog of G/10) * P
P = RF power delivered to the antenna in mW
G = Power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator
R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna in centimeters
S = MPE in mW/cm² (milliwatts per square centimeters)
Conversions
dBi to numeric gain = Antilog (dBi/10)
Feet to centimeters = Feet * 30.48
Centimeters to Feet = cm * .0328
4 π = 12.57
User Input
RF power delivered to the antenna = Watts
Antenna gain (referenced to isotropic antenna) = dBi
Distance from the center of radiation = Feet
Calculation steps:
1. [P] RF power input. Watts to milliwatts = Watts * 1000
2. [G] Antenna gain dBi. Numeric gain = Antilog (dBi/10)
3. [EIRP] Multiply P * G
4.
5.
6.
7.
[R] Centimeters to feet = Centimeters * .0328
Square R
Multiply R² * 4π
[S] Divide (R² * 4π ) into EIRP
S = Power Density in milliwatts per square centimeters.
Note
At frequencies above 1500 MHz, S must not be greater than 1.
Reference
FCC OET Bulletin 65, August 1997 - Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
Vislink, in accordance with the requirements set forth by the FCC, provides this information as a
guide to the user and assumes the users of this equipment are licensed and qualified to operate

Use a 9-pin RS-232 null-modem cable to connect the communication path between the RCU
and the HDX-1100.
A receptacle at the rear of the controller supplies DC power to the RCU. Vislink provides the
2-pin Weidmuller connector (Part # 52104-2) to connect to the power receptacle at the rear or
the controller. The required power range is from +18 to +32Vdc (negative ground only).
NOTE: During initial power up, the RCU will display a C until the HDX-1100 processor
completes a boot up and self check sequence; this is normal. If the C does not disappear
within one to two minutes, the HDX-1100 has lost power or a communications error has
occurred; check the circuit breakers, and power and serial cable connections.
To facilitate updating or servicing an HDX-1100 transmitter, we recommend that the
transmitter and RCU panel are fed from different circuit breakers. In normal operation, power
should be applied to the RCU first, or to both units simultaneously.

Local System Access and Management Interfaces
The front panel of the HDX-1100 includes an LCD touch screen that allows radio operating
parameters to be initially configured and later modified by maintenance personnel. The
touch screen provides the ability to recall and review and/or change the frequency of
channel presets, turn the power amplifier on and on, switch between high power and low
power modes, and gives visual feedback to maintenance personnel for each of the
described actions. Future software updates will provide additional set-up capability,
including the ability to set modulation constellation, guard interval, and Forward Error
Correction, and will support saving any changes to a selected or new preset.
NOTE: Both the HDX-1100 touch screen and the RCU remote panel are active and
capable of control when the RCU is powered on. Information shown on the touch screen
will update dynamically if settings on the RCU are changed. Information shown on the
RCU WILL NOT update if settings are changed on the touch screen. The Indications may
be re-synchronized by initiating any change with the RCU, i.e. – preset, channel, etc.
