Automatic Antenna Alignment Simplifies OperationThe Quick Shot™ is an advanced control system for mobile operations that reduces setup time by automatically aligning the antenna. At the heart of the Quick Shot™ system is a GPS-interfaced embedded control, which provides automatic alignment of the directional antenna and greatly simplifies operation. Ideal for transmit as well as receive applications, the Quick Shot™ combines the superior range of a directional antenna with the ease of operation associated with an omnidirectional antenna. Transmit ApplicationsQuick Shot™ reduces setup time by automatically aligning the directional antenna with the receive location. The operator simply selects the desired receive site and the transmit antenna aligns automatically.Receive ApplicationsQuick Shot™ is also ideal for mobile receive applications, such as automatically tracking an airborne downlink. Operationally, it uses telemetry from the incoming downlink to automatically steer the directional antenna. An automatic acquisition feature further simplifies the tracking function.Remote Control OperationThe Quick Shot™ can be remotely controlled by the NSI MC5 - adding a whole new dimension to mobile operations. This advanced capability takes the microwave setup activities out of the truck and allows a single operator at the studio to control both ends of the microwave link. It also allows remote vehicle operation by a single-person crew.The MC5 features several advanced automatic functions to simplify live shots and enhance daily operations, including Auto Link™ which automatically aligns the transmit and central receive antennas - at the touch of a single button.
