Technology Cross Remote Technology Cross Remote is a system that allows transmitters to be monitored and controlled from a receiver and the Wireless Studio control software installed on a computer connected to the receiver. Cross Remote Outline Compared to analog wireless systems, the DWX series allows more channels to be operated simultaneously. The Cross Remote system for remote control of transmitters from a receiver was developed to facilitate setup and operation of large wireless microphone configurations. Cross Remote uses an independent 2.4 GHz RF carrier (compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard) to implement remote control that is separate from the UHF main link. This allows simultaneous audio transmission and remote control operation without affecting the battery life, audio quality and other features of the wireless microphone system. Attenuator and low-cut filter settings as well as power, frequency and almost all other transmitter settings can be controlled remotely. Even when the transmitter is worn concealed on the body, Cross Remote makes it easy to change settings remotely. How Cross Remote works Cross Remote transmits the data described below, allowing remote monitoring and operation of the transmitter from the receiver side. DWM-01 DWT-B01 Metadata transmitted via WiDIF-HP  Status information for each transmitter is sent on respective UHF frequency  If metadata monitor function only is used, service area is equal to UHF (sound) range UHF 2.4 GHz Control data sent via 2.4 GHz NT mode  RMU-01 transmits control information for all transmitters on network (max. 82 units)  Up to nine RMU-01 units can be used, to enlarge service area *Internal 2.4 GHz antenna of receiver cannot be used ST mode  Control information is sent to currently received transmitters (max. 2) via internal 2.4 GHz antenna Both modes  Transmitter identifies received control data by ID  Control results are returned as WiDIF-HP metadata  Area where UHF and 2.4 GHz communication overlaps is service area for control functions  2.4 GHz communication range has a radius of about 10 meters in a space with good line of sight  In sleep mode, WiDIF-HP is not received. Two-way 2.4 GHz communication is used for monitoring Monitoring and control possible at receiver  Covers transmitters currently being received  ST mode uses the internal 2.4 GHz antenna AN-01 DWR-R01D BNC Cable RMU-01 * Used in NT mode only. Cross Remote protocol is expanded over Ethernet network  Protocol is TCP/IP based  100Base-TX/10Base-T network equipment can be used  RMU-01 used for 2.4 GHz antenna expansion Network HUB LAN Cable Monitoring and control with Wireless Studio  Allows integrated system management PC  Up to 6 Windows PCs are supported *When using the DWR-S01D as receiver, the RMU-01 or a computer cannot be used. 20 Cross Remote Technology
