AV Events

Many of the signals we transmit are wireless. Have you ever wondered why do wireless mics have so many available channels? Why did the Bluetooth receiver stop working when the wireless access point was installed? Can I use my wireless intercom in the same location as my wireless HD-SDI transmitter? This webinar focuses on specific frequency ranges for unlicensed wireless transmission, covering audio, video, intercom, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Learn how to select a legal frequency and how to scan for the best available frequencies.

Join the September Power Hour to:

• Know the frequency ranges for wireless microphones, intercom, wireless video Tx, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
• Know how to look up what are ‘legal’ frequencies for unlicensed use.
• Learn about tools to scan for available channels.
