Hello - We're switching to the Freefly HDMI converter and need to know how to connect it to a DJI video downlink? The HDMI converter should arrive this week from Quadrocopter. Any insight or guidance is appreciated! Thanks, Drew
There's a two wire (composite video and ground) connection for video out from the FF HDMI Converter. You'll need to make up some form of connection to the DJI video downlink -- I'm not sure what the connector will for that, I'm afraid. Andy.
Thanks Andy. I've been considering another downlink system - any suggestions? Thanks Andy. I've been considering another downlink system - any suggestions? Lawmate seems to be a forum favorite for performance and cost...
The 5.8Ghz Iftron Stinger or Mondo Extreme (the difference being the radiated power) seems to be pretty well regarded -- use with a Passport diversity receiver. The Tx are here: http://www.iftrontech.com/index.php?cPath=46 and the Rx are here: http://www.iftrontech.com/index.php?cPath=48 They've worked well for me and have excellent customer service. Andy.
Drew If you are flying the DJI then the IOSD from the literature gives you a flight overlay to the video signal. Similar to the SmartOSD used on the MK stack. You still need a transmitter and the Iftrons are considered by some to be top of the line both for quality and technical support. The IOSD does not have a transmitter which is a bit confusing looking at their skimpy information on their website. I didn't see a manual only a series of videos and none of them show a transmitter/receiver. Must be hidden behind the monitor.
I did a line of sight ground test. Was still getting a usable signal at 1.5 miles. Line of sight, no obstructions, rural area, across a valley. IBCrazy Blue Beam antennas, Iftron Yellowjacket Recv.
That's fantastic Gary. Is this an SD signal I take it? What kind of receiver / antenna system is required to make it work. I'm hoping to go with the new Paralynx Tomahawk system but it's a little spendy
Paul this is SD only. Antennas are like these http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_45_49_97&products_id=550 Long distance AC flyers are using beam antennas. Very different technology than the Paralynx and the like.
