 Overview   The HD  SkyLink system was  designed to  establish wireless  HD video signal transmission without any latency over large distances. Amimon finally made this possible with revolutionary technology!  The HD SkyLink is a lightweight but still very powerful wireless HD system, which is the perfect solution for live streaming from your multicopter or from a steadycam system.  The  HD  SkyLink  transmits  encoded  but  uncompressed  signals.  Broadcasting  is  therefore  possible without any delay (latency less than 1ms). This is the ideal live streaming equipment for sports events, movies and TV productions and also industrial and inspection and monitoring related applications.  Multicasting is supported -  the signal of one transmitter  can  be received  by multiple  receivers at the same time, which allows parallel streaming and live preview for the camera operator during recording. You  have  the  possibility  to  set  the  used  frequencies  (according  to  the  planned  usage  and  the frequencies assigned by the Federal Network Agency) on location via USB port. The system allows you to have full control and you can follow the legal regulations of your country or region.

 Operating modes  Aerial mode In this mode a link is established between a single receiver and a single transmitter. This mode uses DFS frequencies as well making it flexible and easy to adjust to all different fields of use and to meet the regional and national frequency requirements and laws.  For some SkyLink version the message "please wait 60 seconds" may appear on the monitor when the link is first established to inform the user that the system is searching for a free DFS frequency. In this case  this  message  will  be  followed  by  a  second  identical  message  to  inform  that  the  system  is searching for an alternative DFS frequency. Upon completion the message "Ready" will appear on the monitor.  In Aerial mode a link can be established only if the systems are within close proximity to each other. If either receiver or transmitter is reset, both sides must be brought close together and reset in order to re-establish the link.

 Other malfunctions  The receiver keeps outputting a “Searching…” message, and the NETWORK LED is constantly blinks: It should take up to one minute to establish a wireless link. If the link was not established within that time period, verify the transmitter is powered on and not connected to another receiver.  The receiver is outputting “Connected to source name, Please Check Video Source”: Check the HD-SDI connection between the transmitter and the video source.  The receiver displayed a connection failure message and outputs a “Wireless Off” message: If there is more than one registered transmitter, and the receiver failed to connect to it within a minute or two, the receiver will go into standby mode and shut down the RF. In order to connect to the desired source, press on the “SOURCE” button and choose the desired source.  The NETWORK LED blinks rapidly and there is no display on the monitor: Power cycle the unit. If the issue remains, the device might be faulty. Please contact Amimon support team.  Link cannot be established or poor video/Audio quality: Try to decrease the range between the transmitter and the receiver or remove obstacles out of the way between the transmitter and receiver.
