Package contents are the following: Part No. 29505-Wireless Digital Signage Distribution System Transmitter
(1) WDSDS Transmitter Unit (1) CD (1) User Manual (1) Power Supply (2) Antennas
Part No. 29506-Wireless Digital Signage Distribution System Receiver
(1) WDSDS Receiver Unit (1) Power Supply (2) Antennas
1.1 PACKAGE CONTENTS

The WDSDS is specially engineered to provide maximum flexibility by distributing digital content via two different modes.
Wireless Mode: The solution can be configured in wireless mode using 802.11a/g capabilities to send content 100+ feet and support up to 32 screens in locations where installing cable is difficult or costly. This is ideal for smaller scale digital signage installations where convenience, low cost and ease of use are the primary factors in selecting a solution. Wired Mode: The solution can also be set to run in an Ethernet configuration on its own network. This mode accommodates up to 1,000 screens over a distance of 3,000 feet using standard Cat5/6 cables and existing network equipment (hubs, switches, or routers). Because the transmitter distributes data only to the network to which receivers are connected, the signal does not interfere with other networks and overall network traffic is reduced. This is perfect for the most complex digital signage applications where monitors need to be placed long distances from the media player.
SYSTEM FEATURES • The WDSDS supports resolutions up to 1280x1024 @20fps or 1024x768 at 30fps and
contains an integrated “Lip-Sync” function that keeps the video and audio signals in sync with one another across all displays. A web-based software application allows users to manage all transmitters and receivers remotely. This includes the ability to view critical data such as connection rates and link status, as well as perform administrator tasks such as configuring, rebooting, or setting custom screens, from anywhere on the network. Supports Wired LAN (10Base-T/100Base-TX) and Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11a/g: Infrastructure/Ad hoc mode)
• Uses standard Ethernet network infrastructure allowing digital signs to be connected using network cabling and equipment that is already installed in a building*
• Plug-and-play functionality allows the transmitter and receivers to automatically detect one another making installation and setup quick and easy
• DVI-I connectors on the transmitter and receivers allow analog (VGA) or digital connections (DVI or HDMI) for maximum flexibility
• RS-232 port on receivers allow for additional control of the connected displays
• Flexible external antenna connectors allow for multiple antenna options and placement to meet your application.
