▆ ▆ Product Overview
The Nirvana, referred to as NV14, is a 14-channel transmitter with a 3.5in LCD capacitive color touch screen.
It uses built-in (AFHDS 2A) and external RF modules. The system comes with the FS-X8B and FS-iA8X receiver’s
with OpenTX firmware making it a perfect system for FPV.
The NV14 has 2 RF options, internal and external, the internal RF supports up to 14 channels of output, the
external high frequency supports up to 32 channels of output.
The built-in RF system forms a system designed for FPV using the FS-X8B receiver or FS-iA8X receiver.
System Features
The AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System Second Generation) developed and patented by
FLYSKY is specially developed for all radio control models. Offering superior protection against interference
while maintaining lower power consumption and high reliable receiver sensitivity, FLYSKY's AFHDS technology is
considered to be one of the leaders in the RC market today.
Bidirectional Communication
Capable of sending and receiving data, each transmitter is capable of receiving data from
temperature, altitude and many other types of sensors, servo calibration and i-BUS Support.
Multi-channel Hopping Frequency
This systems bandwidth ranges from 2.4055GHz to 2.475GHz. This band is divided in 140 channels.
Each transmitter hops between 16 channels (32 for Japanese and Korean versions) in order to reduce
interference from other transmitters.
Omni-directional Gain Antenna
The high efficiency Omni-directional high gain antenna cuts down on interference, while using less
power and maintaining a strong reliable connection.
Unique ID Recognition System
Each transmitter and receiver has it's own unique ID. Once the transmitter and receiver have
been paired, they will only communicate with each other, preventing other systems accidentally
connecting to or interfering with the systems operation.
Low Power Consumption
The system is built using highly sensitive low power consumption components, maintaining high
receiver sensitivity, while consuming as little as one tenth the power of a standard FM system,
dramatically extending battery life.
▆ ▆ OpenTX
OpenTX is an open source operating system for RC remote control. OpenTX is very powerful.
Users can configure RC remote control according to their own needs, making RC remote control
more comprehensive and higher performance.
