Connect the output from your video source to either the SDI or HDMI input (C or E)on the Bolt transmitter. Connect either the SDI or HDMI output (D or L)from the Bolt receiver to the video input on your monitor. NOTE: If mounting the receiver upright on a stand above the monitor, use a right- angle SDI adapter to relieve any strain caused by the weight of the cable, and to avoid damaging the SDI output’s internal connectors.
Connect power to the Bolt transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter, or if both devices are equipped with battery plate accessories, attach a compatible battery (Gold or V mount).
Attach the antennas to both the transmitter and the receiver. If using an Array Antenna with the receiver, mount the receiver to the back of the antenna, then connect the five RP-SMA connectors to the center connectors labeled V using the included extension cables. If the transmitter is using horizontal antennas, attach the receiver’s two outward connectors to the antenna’s two external connectors labeled H (see MOUNTING).
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (J)to the ON position. Video appears within a few seconds.
Hi Robert. I recently worked with an AC that informed me it was wise to connect power first and power last with the bolts due to a possibility of shorting the sdi connection on the bolt if BNC is connected before powering on. Is there any evidence of this you have seen? Thanks!
As a regular user / tech I can say that i have had blown out SDI outputs. sometimes both sometimes just 1 of them. the reverse polarity scenario supports this. its happened to other equipment we rent.
