Proxy

A server that stands between large networks and local networks or computers, typically to ensure security. One element of a firewall.

PTP/IP (Picture Transfer Protocol over Internet Protocol)

An image transfer for transmitting images over wireless LANs. It represents an exten- sion to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) used to transfer images between cameras and computers connected via USB cable.

SS-ID (Service Set ID)

An SS-ID prevents interference between devices in different networks. See BSS-ID, ESS-ID.

Subnet mask

A mask that divides a network into subnets.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

A dual protocol consisting of a transport-layer protocol (TCP) that divides data into packets which it later reassembles, and a network protocol (IP) that handles transmis- sion of the packets between points in the network. It can be implemented on different platforms, allowing data to be transmitted between machines with different operating systems.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

An encryption method which uses dynamic keys that change periodically or after a specified amount of data have been transmitted, making it more secure that WEP, which uses fixed keys.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

A fast but unreliable transport layer transmission protocol using the DSI model.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

A standard for connecting peripheral devices. USB supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0). Devices connected via USB can be connected and disconnected with the power on (“hot plug”) and do not require separate IRQ (interrupt request) numbers, preventing conflicts with other devices.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

A privacy protocol intended to provided users of wireless networks with the same level of privacy as a wired network. When using WEP, enter the encryption key provided by the network administrator.

Wireless LAN access point

A wireless transceiver that acts as the connection between wireless devices and a wire- less network.

WT-2 specifications

The Nikon WT-2 is a cutting-edge wireless transmitter designed to enhance the functionality of certain Nikon DSLRs, elevating photography to a more dynamic level. Positioned as a powerful tool for both professional and amateur photographers, the WT-2 allows users to seamlessly transfer images directly from their camera to a computer or print server, which is especially beneficial during events, studio shoots, or press conferences where time is of the essence.

One of the main features of the WT-2 is its support for high-speed wireless communication, utilizing IEEE 802.11b/g standards. This enables photographers to transmit images at rapid rates, significantly improving workflow efficiency. With its ability to send files wirelessly up to a distance of 150 feet, the WT-2 offers impressive flexibility, allowing photographers the freedom to capture images from various locations without being tethered to their computers.

The device also incorporates a robust security protocol, ensuring that all data transmissions are secure. This is particularly crucial for photographers working in sensitive environments where data privacy is paramount. The WT-2 supports WEP and WPA/WPA2 encryption, providing layers of security that are essential in today's digital landscape.

Furthermore, the WT-2 features dual-channel support, allowing users to connect to multiple networks simultaneously. This capability is particularly useful when photographers need to switch between different networks or when working in environments with fluctuating wireless signals. Additionally, the device is compatible with a range of Nikon cameras, making it a versatile addition to any photographer’s toolkit.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the WT-2 is its battery efficiency. Operating on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the device can sustain prolonged use, reducing downtime during important shoots. The user-friendly interface ensures that even less technical users can navigate its features effortlessly.

In conclusion, the Nikon WT-2 is designed to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced photography environments. With advanced wireless capabilities, robust security measures, and compatibility with various Nikon cameras, it stands out as an indispensable tool for modern photographers seeking to enhance their workflow and efficiency. Whether used in a professional studio or during an event, the WT-2 exemplifies the transformative power of technology in the world of photography.
