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.
