Figure 7 Transmission Mode Selection
Unicast Mode (Default)

Bolt 2000 transmitter communicates with one Bolt 2000 receiver. While connected, both
devices automatically change frequency based on their environment.

Bolt will use typically less-crowded DFS channels as well as non-DFS channels in this mode.

While in unicast mode, if one device is powered down, the other must also be powered down
before video transmission can be re-established.
Broadcast Mode

Bolt 2000 transmitter communicates with up to four Bolt 2000 receiver devices

The transmitter selects a frequency when powered up. Receivers then scan available
frequencies until finding their paired transmitter

There is no two-way communication in this mode, so devices can be powered up or down
without affecting others.

DFS channels cannot be used in Broadcast mode.
