3.1.1. 4G/LTE USB Modem
The supported USB modem models vary depending on the country or region.
For details, contact a Sony professional sales representative.
"Single Link" and "Dual Link" are both supported for the Live Streaming Operation use case.
"Single Link" uses one network, while "Dual Link" uses multiple networks for streaming.
"Dual Link" works with two 4G/LTE USB modems. In this case, use of different carriers is recommended for
stable network performance.
Before attaching a 4G/LTE USB modem to the camcorder, check the operation on your computer.
In particular, if you install a new SIM or replace the SIM, check the modem's settings on the computer.
If you replace the SIM with a SIM from another carrier, you need to reset the APN (Access Point Name).
"5.1. Equipment for Wireless Solution"
Connect the 4G/LTE USB modem to a XDCA-FX9 (see and
"5.2. Assembling"
).
When the XDCA-FX9 is viewed from the rear, the USB connector on the left is modem 1 and the USB
connector on the right is modem 2.
3.1.2. Wireless LAN
Check the wireless LAN router's settings before configuring the camcorder's network settings.
The following information is required.
• SSID and password
• Whether the IP address is set by DHCP or manually
• Whether DNS is set automatically or manually
