Domo Wireless

Intro

We'll focus in this guide on:

  • Domo Pico Tx encoder: for video transmission
  • Domo Saphire RXD5 decoder: for video reception
  • Domo Data Transmitter: for camera control

With this setup you'll get:

  • HD (up to 1080p60) HDR 10 bits video transmission
  • Low power
  • Bidirectional camera control

Wiring

Overview

  • The camera is connected to the Domo Pico Tx:
    • using the Hirose 6P on camera side
    • using the molex 6P on the domo side
    • we have : power and bidirectional control
  • The Domo Pico Tx has 2 antennas:
    • one Tx to send the video to the decoder and the control Rx from the camera
    • one Rx to receive the control to the camera
  • The Domo Saphire RXD5 will:
    • receive the video from the Domo Pico (RF)
    • receive the camera control return from the Domo Pico (RF)
    • send the control feedback to the Domo Data Transmittery (Ethernet)
  • The Domo Data Transmitter will:
    • receive the control from Cyanview RCP (Ethernet)
    • receive the camera feedback from the Domo decoder (Ethernet)
    • send feedback from the camera to Cyanview RCP (RF)

That's why:

  • Decoder (192.168.86.40/24)
  • TTX (192.168.86.41/24)
  • Cyanview RCP (192.168.86.42/24)

need to have matching IP's

Camera / Pico TX

You see from left to right:

  • USB-C (in our case is used for power input)
  • Molex pico lock (6 pins for power + RS485 to camera)
  • SDI input

The 2 antennas (for Rx/Tx) are on the other side and needs to be plugged.

Wire the SDI as usual and ensure the format of camera and encoder are matching.

The Pico has a molex 6P:

  • 2 pins for power (GND / PWR in_out)
  • 2 pins for RS486 (Tx/Rx)
  • 2 pins for external mic (not used in this case as the camera has stereo mic builtin)
SignalCamera pinDomo pin
RS485 A/+13
RS485 B/-24
GND51
+12V62

If you're building a HR10A-7P-6P mating plug, pay attention that the camera pin are "mirrored".

On the pico side, the GND is the first pin on the left (usb-c side).

What you need for the molex:

  • the connector 5037640601
  • 6 pins 5037650098
  • crimp tool 0638275700

Cut between 0.9-1.3mm, crimp using the tool, insert in the connector.

What you need if you're doing a matching hirose 6P: HR10A-7J-6S

power supply:

  • camera supports between 4.5-25V
  • pico:
    • rev A supports 5.3-9.0V
    • rev B supports 5.0-16V

7.4V being the nominal value for the pico and in our camera range, try being close to that.

Combined: 2.5W (cam) + 4.9W (pico) = 7.4W

Setup

Configure properly your domo kit.

  • Ensure your domo decoder has the IP Serial licence enabled.
    • found in Status > Licence, named IP Serial
  • Ensure your domo decoder send the IP serial data to the TTX.
    • found in Config > Serial, named IP Serial
    • mode should be Data
    • IP should be the TTX Gateway IP
    • port should match your TTX Gateway setup

Then configure your Cyanview RCP:

  • Navigate to the advanced webpage: RCP_IP/dev/app.html
  • Click on the right side on: New Virtual serial port
  • Search for the created block name: TcpSerial
  • configure it:
    • host should be the the TTX Gateway IP
    • port should match your TTX Gateway setup
    • packet_ctl should be set to 0
  • click on the port inside:
    • active should be set to 1

And now you can select it in the standard UI when configuring your camera:
