Lectrosonics DCHT Digital Camera Hop Transmitter

The Lectrosonics DCHT sends two channels of mic, line, or AES digital audio from a bag or cart to a camera or recorder over a pure digital wireless link.

It also works as a portable IFB transmitter for Duet M2R receivers. It tunes across the UHF band in 25 kHz steps, with 10, 25, or 50 mW of RF power. AES 256-CTR encryption secures the signal for high-security work.

The 6-pin TA6F input takes two analog mic or line signals, or an AES digital signal, through a range of adapter cables. The analog inputs link for a stereo source or run with separate settings, and gain adjusts over 51 dB in 1 dB steps ahead of a DSP-controlled limiter. Two LEDs on the top panel show each channel’s level from -20 dB to the onset of limiting.

The top-panel switch can be set as a mute switch or a power switch, or bypassed. Setup runs through the backlit LCD and membrane switches, the 2-way IR port speeds setup with a receiver, and firmware updates load through the micro USB port.

The housing is solid machined aluminum in an ultra-hard dark electroless nickel finish, and the hinged battery door latches so it will not pop open if the unit is dropped. Two AA lithium batteries run it for about 5 hours, or the optional LTBATELIM powers it from external DC. A stainless spring wire belt clip comes with it, and the BCSLEBN spring-loaded clip is an option. Sweat damages the transmitter, so the DCHTCVR silicone cover protects it on the body.
