The WLL-RX55 is the receiver part of the Sony MPEG Wireless system, which also comprises the
camcorder adaptor and camera adaptor.
Together, these models provide a stable, high quality wireless transmission system from a Sony camera or camcorder to a base such as an OB van. By eliminating the cable between camera and the van, the mobility of the camera is greatly increased. Based on 2.4 GHz wireless technology, MPEG encoding, and COFDM transmission, the Sony Wireless Camera System is ideal for delivering live news from the field, or for covering golf or similar sporting events


Compact Construction
The WLL-RX50 is very compact, 3U half-rack width. This package includes dual diversity receivers, MPEG decoder, and all camera video, control and intercom interfaces.
The antenna and down convertor are also very small, for convenient mounting on a mast, or in confined spaces.
Antenna & down converter supplied
The WLL-RX55 includes two down converter units and reception antennae.
The down converter converts the received signal frequency from the 2.4GHz range to 326 MHz – 398MHz, in order to reduce the transmission loss through the IF cable between the reception antenna and the receiver WLL-RX55.
The antenna can directly be attached to the down converter, or separated by a few metres if more convenient. The down converter is very compact, and includes mounting holes and brackets for on the fixing to a mast or a tripod.
Exchangeable Reception Antenna
Since the down converter has standard N-type connector for reception antenna, an alternative antenna can easily be used to replace the supplied one.
Diversity reception
The WLL-RX50 includes two receivers to provide Diversity Reception. This helps to ensure a stable, interference-free output when operating near maximum separation distance, or in other conditions where reception is poor, or multiple signal reflections may occur. A built-in packet-switching Diversity Switcher in the WLL-RX55 monitors the error rate of the data streams from all receivers and dynamically selects a stream which does not contain errors.
Convenient power options
The WLL-RX55 can be powered either from AC mains, or from 12 volt DC, allowing easy field use.
Full camera remote control
Together with the WLL-CA55, the WLL-RX55 provides all the functionality of a triax camera, including genlock, camera control, tally, audio, and intercom facilities. The camera can be integrated within a multi-camera environment using standard Sony remote control panels.
Optional front control panel
If required, the RM-B750 remote control panel can be fitted directly to the front of the receiver to provide a convenient self contained control package. The camera output signal can also be viewed using the colour LCD screen on this panel.
EL display and Jog Dial
The EL display is used to provide staus and menu information for the Wireless System. By using the Jog Dial and associated menu system, all system parameters can be setup quickly and easily.
Comprehensive range of video and audio interfaces
The WLL-RX55 provides SDI and DVB-ASI outputs, plus composite (VBS) picture and waveform monitoring outputs. For additional flexibility, the WLL-RX55 uses the same camera control, intercom and tally interfaces as the CCU-550DP triax base station, allowing an OB van to be rapidly re-configured to suit programme requirements.
