New Radio Modem

The radio modem provided with the WMU-3, Arricam Studio LDB-2, Arricam Lite LDB-2,

UMC-3 and URM-3 offers several advantages over previous units, including smaller size,

less power comsumption and improved transmission. Due to these improvements, it cannot

cross-communicate with the previous radio modems originally used in the WMU-1, original

Arricam Studio LDB, original Arricam Lite LDB or Radio Modem URM-1.

However, all of these units can be upgraded via installation of the new radio modem.

In order to maintain discrete designations for all WRS units, a naming convention was ad-

opted as follows:

First generation unit with first generation radio modem: XXX-1

First generation unit with second generation radio modem: XXX-2

Second generation unit with second generation radio modem: XXX-3,

where „XXX“ denotes the actual unit referred to: for example, „WMU-3“ would be the

Wireless Main Unit, second generation with second generation radio modem.

To denote presence of the second generation radio modem, a colored washer has been added

to the antenna port. The color of this washer was originally blue. However, with advances in

video transmitter technology, a software change was necessary to minimize interference. To

denote the software change, a green washer replaces the blue washer. It is important to note

that units with green washers cannot communicate with units with blue washers.

Using Cables Instead of Radio Transmission

There are two ways to connect the hand controllers with cables to the cameras: First, the

Wired Handgrip Attachments WHA-2 or WHA-3 connect with cables to the cameras, and

the hand controllers can be attached to them. Use cables LC-M1, LC-Z1 or LC-Z2 to con-

nect to the LCS port of a 435 Xtreme, ARRICAM, 416 Plus, or UMC-3; use cable KC-70

to connect to the CAC port of an ARRICAM. The Wired Handgrip Attachment WHA-1

connects the Wireless Remote Control WRC-1 with cable WC-W1 to the CCU port of the

ARRIFLEX 435, 535 and 16 SR 3 or to the remote port of the ARRIFLEX 235.

Second, it is possible to connect a cable between the antenna connector of the hand radios

and the camera radios. Cable WC-A3 can be used to connect the WMU-1 antenna connector

to the antenna connector of URM-1, Studio LDB or Lite LDB. The same cable is also used

to connect the WMU-2 or WMU-3 to the antenna connector of URM-2, URM-3, Studio

LDB-2 or Lite LDB-2. You can also use the WC-A3 cable to connect the WMU-3 to the

UMC-3. Don’t use cable WC-A1. Authorized ARRI Service Centers can upgrade cable

WC-A1 to WC-A3.

Please note that with or without cable, compatibility between units is dictated by radio

modem compatibility as described in „New Radio Modem“ above.

Cable WC-A2 can be used for extending the antenna away from a radio unit.
