| THX-24X2
2.4GHz (2400 MHz) AV transmitter. This 4-channel selectable unit is
'plug and play' compatible with ALL of our color and black and white
cameras and AM-1 microphone. Standard composite RCA female audio +
video inputs. Designed for use with our mating #RX-2410 wireless receivers
and #MRX-2400 integrated receiver/ monitor units. COMPLETE technical
specifications (a.k.a. "specs") below.
Profile:
What an amazing and compact
FM unit. BEWARE that most 2.4 gigahertz sets you'll find are usually
greatly inferior as a result of substandard engineering and very
low (& often exaggerated) average RF output power. Many inferior
units in the marketplace can be found costing twice as much or more.
This unit tests at several thousand feet in outdoor LOS (line-of-sight)
conditions with using ONLY the standard (included) omnidirectional
antennas at both transmitter & receiver points. It is capable
of greater range when transmitter and/ or receiver are equipped
with properly oriented directional (narrow beam and/ or high gain)
antennas. THX-24X1 also has excellent barrier penetration ability
(through 1-3 barriers such as walls and floors).
This features high RF
2000mW (2 Watts) output power for 2.4GHz. Transmitter is four channel
selectable (with a tiny onboard dipswitch) and is designed for use
with our mating #RX-2410 wireless receiver and #MRX-2400 integrated
receiver/ monitor units. *THX-24X2 is 4-channel AUDIO capable as
well.
2.4 GHz (or 2,400 MHz)
can be a great frequency to use in conditions where there is no
other 2.4GHz equipment operating in close relative proximity to
either transmitter or receiver- or anywhere in between. Alternate
2.4GHz frequency equipment (which may include wireless LAN computer
networking, 2.4 gig cordless telephones, alternate video transmission,
operating microwave ovens and other sources) may cause and/ or receive
some sort of interference in one or all devices present, depending
on output power(s) and other variables. Though high power devices
like these are much more likely to cause than to receive interference.
#THX-24X2 can be a great
a solution for a WIDE variety of uses- both mobile and stationary.
However, microwave frequencies (i.e. UHF 2.4GHz or SHF 5.8GHz) tend
to be more directional than can be 'quirky' in certain situations,
such as when transmitter and/ or receiver are in motion or used
around people or animals. Depending on power and type of antenna(s)
used on transmitter and / or receiver, user may experience brief
periods of no video or audio while signal re-establishes 'lock'.
High-quality FM wireless
video is amazing and may work very well for a given user application.
However, it is certainly not 'magic'. Choosing the best frequency/
RF power and the most appropriate antenna(s) for the given application
will greatly improve user's odds for desired success. A careful
analysis of all known factors and a preparedness for certain types
of potential problems which can never be fully realized until initial
site trial and potential re-orientation of a system. Please read
more on our wireless FAQ page.
We carry ONLY wireless
equipment manufactured with quality-engineered onboard surface mount
board + processor components (critical to produce a high quality
wireless video unit). Too many in our industry are making false
and exaggerated claims about their inferior products and about wireless
video technology in general. You never have or will find such products
or erroneous information on our site.
Common Applications:
•General CCTV video
and security purposes where installing hardwired connection is not
feasible or possible
•Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and R/C (radio controlled)
vehicle applications including robotics
•Mobile and fixed location portable surveillance
•Limited range search & rescue and canine operations
Available Options:
External omni-directional
transmitter antenna included FREE (SMA type threaded post)
for direct interface to unit.
Fully regulated AC/DC
transformer (wall plug-in for constant use) and 8xAA #BAT-1 battery
pack included FREE with each #THX-2X2 ordered.
The #THX-24X1 features
12v DC power requirements and can therefore also be powered by our
#BAT-1/3 battery packs as well as our #ACC-AUTO fused auto power
cord and a variety of alternative power sources.
Our #ANT-24M magnetic
mount + low-loss extension cable (with SMA plug) allows user to
stretch antenna distance away from a transmitter or receiver, such
as outside a building or to the rooftop of a vehicle. Elevated #ANT-24M
antenna(s) can facilitate a much better LOS line of sight condition
between transmitter and receiver in crowded rooms, etc., which often
results in better range and performance.
Our #ANT-2414 and #ANT-2418
flat panel antennas are excellent for point-to-point fixed locations
outside building(s). They are much lower in physical profile than
Yagi or parabolic dish types, and have a wider angle reception ability.
*Requires available N-SMA type cable for direct interface.
Our #ANT-Y24 high gain
Yagi antenna allows user to MAXIMIZE range in LOS conditions by
concentrating radio signal into a narrow, directional beam. *Requires
available N-SMA type cable for direct interface.
The
#ANT-Y24X high gain Yagi antenna provides the absolute MAXIMUM range
in LOS conditions by concentrating radio signal into a narrow, directional
beam. *Requires available N-SMA type cable for direct interface.
*External high gain antennas
#ANT-2414/18, #ANT-Y24 feature "N" type post jacks. TO
interface directly with most of our transmitters or receivers (which
feature SMA type post), you must use the proper "N-SMA"
type cable. We carry 2 versions (3 ft. #N-SMA3 and 10 ft. #N-SMA10)
which are LMR-195 (low signal loss) cables suitable for both 2.4
GHz and 900 MHz antenna applications.
Please contact us for
additional 2.4 GHz antenna solutions including a longer 13dB Yagi
and a parabolic grid dish, as well as amplified flat panel antennas.
Variations /
Alternate Equipment to Consider:
We also carry more a
MORE powerful (but slightly larger) version of this transmitter.
See our #THX-24X4 (4 Watts with built-in cooling fan!).
Also consider our video-only
outdoor #TX/RX-XWR and #TXRX-1WW link systems. Up to 60 miles LOS
right out of the box!
Cautions:
This is a restricted-use
transmitter available only for govt./ agency use & export in
certain situations.
This is a non-weatherproof
transmitter, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER
left outdoors without the proper protective housings.
Because this unit has
no built-in 'reverse polarity protection' circuitry, it MUST be
powered PROPERLY and ONLY with available power
accessories to guarantee SAFE operation. Using improper 'reverse
power' (i.e. a power supply with center pin negative polarity) WILL
DESTROY THIS UNIT. Unregulated transformers marked at "12 volts
DC" are more likely producing 18-30 volts, as seen when tested
with a simple DC volt meter. While over-voltage of electronic circuitry
may allow operation, but may also be greatly decreasing device longevity
by "over-driving" and likely overheating that circuitry,
which may even result in immediate damage. Please consult our power
FAQ page for more information.
Reception range and quality
of wireless performance is based on a number of factors which can
generally be determined only after actual testing has been made.
