Newscaster DR1

The Newscaster DR1 is a lightweight 2 GHz HD/SD COFDM microwave receiver intended for portable and mobile video/audio applications. Its stylish rugged machined housing provides durability and excellent thermal characteristics for operation in the harshest of conditions. The DR1 is an ideal companion to the 2 or 7 GHz CamPac2 wireless camera transmitter.

The DR1 receiver can be configured with dual or quad diversity demodulators using maximum ratio combining, which significantly improves the robustness of higher data rate COFDM modulation. This provides improved path reliability. The built-in spectrum analyzer gives an instant analysis of the selected channel and can be used to minimize multi-path or see if the channel is clear from interference. Individual antennas can be switched off as required to maximize link reliability.

The DR1 2 GHz receiver can be configured for any band plan that falls within the 1.99 to 2.70 GHz band. With the addition a Block Down Converter (BDC) the DR1 frequency coverage can be extended to other frequency bands.
