Profile
A complete Lightbridge 2 comprises of an air system and a Ground System. It is a
high definition video transmitter, and supports Ground System using the 2.4GHz
frequency band. As it is small, power efficient and highly sensitive, the Lightbridge 2
can be used for many activities. The air system must be attached to the aircraft and
the Ground System must be connected to a monitor to display the video and flight
controller information, you can also control your aircraft and gimbal with the Ground
System.
When the Lightbridge 2 transmits the video and flight controller information, the air
system is the transmitter while the ground is the receiver. The air system pulls video
from the camera and flight controller information then modulates it and transmits to
the Ground System. The Ground System then receives the information, demodulates
it and sends it to a monitor or mobile device. The DJI GO app, available for mobile
devices is required for an ideal viewing experience.
When the Lightbridge 2 transmits the Ground System signal, the Ground System
works as a transmitter while the air system works as a receiver. The Ground System
supports Dual Ground System mode. In Dual Controllers mode, the “ Master”
Ground System operator controls the orientation of the aircraft, while the “Slave”
Ground System controls the movement of the gimbal and camera operation. A DJI
flight control system with DBUS port is required as the built in receiver only supports
the DJI DBUS protocol. The Ground System includes Remote Controller module, the
reserved buttons on the Ground System can be customized set by the flight
controller’s assistant for expansion use.

2.3 Connection Scenario
Lightbridge 2 offers several solutions to connect the gimbal to the flight controller.
This section provides information about the most commonly seen solutions and their
connection diagram. Follow the connection described in the solutions that best suits
your requirements.
2.3.1 Air System
DJI HD Gimbal + DJI Flight Controller
When using with DJI HD gimbal, you can select either single or dual video source. By
single video source mode, it means the air system relays either the gimbal camera
video or the FPV camera video signal to the Ground System. These two video sources
are mutually exclusive under single video source mode. On the other hand, the air
system simultaneously relays gimbal camera and FPV camera video signal to the
Ground System. Note that user should manually select “HD gimbal” in video
output source when they are connecting DJI HD gimbal to the air system.
The connection steps are as follows:
1.
Connect Gimbal Port on the air system with supplied Gimbal cable,then connect
it to G7 port on DJI HD gimbal and CAN 2 Bus port on the flight controller.
2.
Connect HDMI /AV port on the air system to the FPV camera.
3.
Connect DBUS port on air system to DBUS port (X2 port) on flight controller with
DBUS cable.
4.
Refer to gimbal and flight controller manuals to complete connection.
The connection figure below take DJI HD gimbal and A2 fight controller as example:
FPV camera is not needed in single video source mode.
2.3.2 Ground System
Dual Ground Systems Mode
More than one Ground System can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Ground
System mode. In Dual Controllers mode, the Master Ground System controls the
movement of the aircraft, while the Slave Ground System controls the movement of
the gimbal and camera. When multiple Slave Ground Systems (max of 3) are connect
to the aircraft, only the first connected Slave Ground System is able to control the
gimbal, the remaining slave Ground System can view the live feed video from the
aircraft, but they cannot control the gimbal.
Use the gimbal dial on the Ground System to control the pitch movement of the
camera in the single Ground System mode, however, you cannot pan the
camera.
3. Ground System
