The DR-2S-3 Fiber Transmission System (Receiver) from Meridian Technologies supports two 10-bit S-video signals on one fiber-optic cable. This model uses singlemode fiber. It is well suited for use in security & surveillance work, campus lecture networks, and pro audio-video work, among many other applications and settings.

The card is enhanced by SpectraSmart, an optional PC-based network diagnostic system. The DigiFlex product family is available as rack mount cards and modules that can be installed in any of Meridian's desk chassis or in 19" racking frames. This system can be configured in either star (module to rack) or trunking (rack to rack) configurations. This system can be transformed into a standalone module by using the SR-1000/S chassis.

Q: 1. Does this have any compression on it? And how much? Does this work with the blackmagic mixers?

A: Yes it does have compression. According to Hollyland their code rate is 8M-10M. For use with a production switcher you would want to look an uncompressed option like the Hollyland COSMO 600 Wireless HDMI/SDI Transmission System (L-Series) instead, BH #HOCOSMO600L.

Q: 2. Can mars 400 link with mars 300?

A: We are not aware of there being cross compatibility between the 400 and 300 series. Also we only sell these products as transmitter and receiver pairs.

Q: 3. If I use HDMI-IN with the transmisor and then SDI-OUT with the receiver will it work?

A: The FeelWorld W1000S 1000' SDI + Dual HDMI Wireless Video Transmission System (B&H# FEW1000S) will allow for either HDMI OUT or SDI OUT from the receiver to be used whether the source inputted to the transmitter is HDMI or SDI.

Q: 4. What kind of battery life can I expect from say a NP-550? And is there a chance for interference with wireless mics?

A: Hi Nathan, for a NP-550, battery life is about 2 hours.There's no interference with wireless mics which usually is 600-900 MHz.

Q: 5. For the TX, these use a 2-pin lemo-- are we able to use Teradek 2-Pin lemo or are these pinned differently?

A: We would suggest working with the Hollyland 2-Pin 12V AC/DC Power Supply. Hollyland 2-Pin 12V AC/DC Power Supply BH #HO2PACDCPWRS

Q: 6. what is the latency and how many feet of distance?

A: The latency is 0.08S. The line of sight distance is 1000FT. (Hint: the number in the name of the device is usually the line of sight distance.)

Q: 7. Can Dessqueze the image in an Os Device?

A: While the Hollyland Mars 400 doesn't have desqueezing features, it can send an anamorphic image that can be desqueezed on the receiver end with a functional recorder/monitor or capture device.

Q: 8. Does it do cross conversion? can I input SDI on the TX and HDMI on the RX? or vice versa?

A: Actually, I just tried it and seems like it does work.

Q: 9. this work in vertical mode in weebill s?

A: The Falcam F38 Quick Release System for Zhiyun WEEBILL-S/CRANE 2S Gimbals will work in vertical mode and is illustrated doing such in the product photos.

Q: 10. Can this be powered by Panasonic Camcorder 7.2V batteries I use for powering my AG-UX90? Will the batteries fit?

A: Hi Pesi, No that's not fit. The Mars 400S can be power by: a) Sony NPF batteries b) use the DC 2.1 power adapter that comes along c) Use D-TAP to DC 2.1 Power cable to connect the Mars 400S to the V-mount batteries
