Herelink HD Video Transmission System

This is the newest and most advanced video transmission out there! The Herelink HD Video Transmission System is the all-in-one solution for long-range HD video transmission. It is capable of showing real time FPV for recording, data transmission and radio control. The radio controller has a built-in screen. While having the FPV while flying, the system allows you to get long range HD video, data and control information. The transmission range to what it could show real-time footage is up to 12.4 miles (ca. 20 km), with a latency less than 110ms. The 5.5" screen displays a multitude of control options. Examples of the control options are receiving live images, autopilot configuration through the native QGround control or other GCS applications based on the Mavlink system.

The Air Unit supports 5-12v power input and has a single UART for connection to the flight controller or other Mavlink accessories. The Air Unit and the Radio Controller are both equipped with powerful Pinecone S1 processors with 4 cores at 2.2GHz and 4 more additional cores at 1.4GHz. This offers tons of possibilities for future development.
