Automatic scan sync function
The DWR-S03D is equipped with an automatic scan sync
function that enables quick, simple, configuration of safe
frequency channels. Pressing the MENU SELECT and
SET button simultaneously activates a shortcut for easy
access. A frequency scan finds empty channels, setting the
top two empty channels to both channels on the receiver
and two paired transmitters via Cross Remote.
Stable RF transmission
The X-Dimension Diversity reception system
*
and high
dynamic range RF circuits enable stable RF transmission.
* This is a Sony-original advanced diversity method that uses enhanced
Sony digital technology and high-precision calculation algorithms to
enable a combination of diversities from multiple different dimensions for
dramatically improved transmission stability.
Function coordination with the XDCAM
shoulder cam
The following features are available when pairing the
DWR-S03D and Sony XDCAM shoulder cam.

turned on/off.
* See the Sony website for detailed information on camera devices that
support this feature.
Encrypted transmission
AES256 bit encrypted wireless transmission is possible for
secure confidentiality.
User-set memory function
