[Sidus Four] 2.4 GHz Channel Blocking for CRMX
Sidus Four 2.4 GHz Blocking for CRMX in V2.0 and Later
📡 2.4 GHz Blocking for CRMX
Sidus Four gives you the ability to block specific frequency ranges within the 2.4 GHz spectrum used for CRMX transmission. This is particularly useful in complex wireless environments, such as film sets, where multiple devices are competing for the same RF space.
💡 Real-World Example
Imagine you’re on a film set with multiple wireless systems:
- Follow focus systems operating at 2.4 GHz
- Production Wi-Fi pushing live video feeds
- Various personal devices creating background traffic
All of these systems are sharing the same frequency band used by your Sidus Transmitter for CRMX. While Sidus CRMX is designed to be robust and resilient, excessive interference in certain parts of the 2.4 GHz band can still cause issues, such as signal dropouts or difficulties pairing with lights.
To mitigate this, you can block frequencies already in use by other systems, which creates a cleaner RF environment for your Sidus Transmitter. This results in stronger, more reliable CRMX performance.
Frequency Overlap and Interference
The 2.4 GHz spectrum is shared by many devices, and overlapping frequencies can cause interference, especially when too many devices operate in close proximity. This overlap can lead to slower performance or even severe slowdowns in environments with heavy wireless traffic.
The image below illustrates how specific frequency ranges overlap within the 2.4 GHz band. While overlapping frequencies can sometimes work together in a location, it’s always better to leave space between them for minimal interference. Typically, leaving three or four channels clear between used frequencies reduces interference, especially when transmitting over longer distances.
In situations where there’s heavy wireless traffic, blocking frequencies that are already occupied ensures that Sidus CRMX signals can cut through the noise, leading to more reliable wireless control.
Conclusion
2.4 GHz Blocking is a powerful tool for fine-tuning your wireless setup, especially when multiple systems are operating in the same RF space. By strategically blocking specific frequencies, you ensure that Sidus CRMX signals perform optimally, even in environments where wireless technology is competing for the same airwaves.
