SkymasterTX
HD / SD COFDM
Aircraft Transmitter

  Features:

                                         The new SkymasterTX (SKTX) is a lightweight, full-featured digital COFDM
      4.5 GHz and 6.5GHz
                                         video downlink transmitter built to address the unique requirements of
  n   MPEG-4 Part-10/H.264
                                         aircraft downlink operation. The chassis design features either horizontal or
  n   Optimized size and weight          vertical ARINC mounting. All of the connections and controls have been lo-
      for aircraft
                                         cated on one side of the unit. This allows the SkymasterTX to be removed
  n   Multiple ARINC mounting options    from one aircraft and installed in another with ease.
  n   Superior broadcast quality video
                                         A unique feature of the SkymasterTX is a built-in GPS receiver. This allows
  n   Video, audio, data and telemetry
                                         aircraft position data to be downlinked to the command center for display

                                         SkymasterTX features COFDM digital modulation. COFDM modulation is

                                         The SkymasterTX has a built-in H.264 (MPEG-4) encoder or optional

                                         Knowing that security of the video is critical, the SkymasterTX features
