Model#: 900412-022 - RX-100-D-RO Buddy Phone Receive Only Unit
Overview: The RX-100-D-RO Buddy Phone is a specialized receive-only acoustic unit designed for underwater video recording. It features an 18-inch Rec. Out Cable terminated with a male E/O connector, enabling direct audio feed into underwater camera housings equipped with a female E/O connector. This model is the most cost-effective solution for integrating live audio into your underwater video footage.
How It Works:
-
Standard RX-100 Operation:
-
Typically, the RX-100 sits on the side of a scuba diver's mask, receiving audio signals from other Buddy Phone, SSB-2010, or compatible through-water communication devices operating on Channel 1 (32.768 kHz Upper Sideband). The received audio plays directly through a speaker, allowing real-time communication ideal for recreational divers or instructors.

-
RX-100-D-RO Modification:
-
The RX-100-D-RO modifies this process by redirecting the audio signal through the cable, bypassing the speaker, and feeding it directly into your camera's microphone input. This allows for synchronized audio and video capture, enhancing your underwater films by adding sound, thus moving them out of the "silent" era.
