Wireless Con guration
The SYNK® 4K Wireless System uses a radio-frequency (RF) link to deliver
high-de nition video signals in real time. Each system uses a portion of the RF
spectrum commonly referred to as a “channel” to broadcast its signal. The list
of allowed channels is regulated and varies by region.
The SYNK® 4K Wireless System uses 40 MHz channels in the 5.170-5.850 GHz
spectrum. The 5.170-5.850 GHz spectrum is also used by 802.11a/n/ac devices
as well as 5.8 GHz cordless phones. The System uses an automatic frequency
selection (AFS) mechanism in combination with a passive scanning capability
to maintain compatibility with these devices and identify unoccupied
channels for use.
Each linked SYNK® 4K Wireless System requires two 40 MHz channels to
properly operate. The System is designed to transmit video on a single 40
MHz channel and allocate an additional 40 MHz channel as a backup in case
of co-channel interference. Systems that are separated by a large distance
may use the same channel.
Note: The SYNK® 4K Wireless System uses a proprietary transmission method,
which cannot connect to or be accessed by 802.11 devices or 5.8 GHz cordless
phones.
In order to make sure that there are enough free channels for each SYNK® 4K
Wireless System, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Contact your IT administrator to determine if 802.11a or 802.11n WiFi is
in use at your facility. If so, note which channels are in use in or near each
SYNK® 4K Wireless System installation location.
2. Determine if any 5.8 GHz cordless phones are in use at your facility. If so,
note their locations.
3. For each SYNK® 4K Wireless System installation location, ensure that there
are two unused 40 MHz channels per SYNK® 4K Transmitter installed. If a
5.8 GHz cordless phone is used in the vicinity, assume that channels 149-
165 are occupied.
Contact your Stryker sales representative for more details.
