MR-HD100 with Other Devices

MR-HD100 Peer-to-Peer Networking (Wi-Fi)

Peer-To-Peer is the ability to connect the MR-HD100 with other Wi-Fi capable devices without going through a separate wireless router. This permits the videographer to use MR-HD100’s metadata function in the field with a minimum of equipment, the MR-HD100 and another WI-FI device.

It is necessary to establish an ad-hoc, peer-to-peer network: the connection between MR-HD100 and other Wi-Fi capable devices are networked only for the duration of the session and while they are in Wi-Fi range.

Current Technical Requirements

Presently, Peer-To-Peer networking requires the use of the latest firmware and an 802.11 USB dongle which utilizes the Ralink chipset.

One of the following USB dongles is provided with the MR-HD100:

ASYF-1343-01LF

ASYF-1344-01LF
