Awesome.

Unfortunately, it will not work with the Vision.

Why not?

That Price can't be right.

That Price can't be right.

That price is the pre order "your now on the list we'll tell you how much when they arrive" price ....

 

[themosttoys]

Awesome.

Unfortunately, it will not work with the Vision.

Why not?

Just a few to start:
1) The Vision camera does not have any AV out. (at least not that I've yet seen.)
2) Our controller has no interface output (to attach to the ground station).

Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer, just pointing out a few things.

Interesting...

That Price can't be right.

It will be well over a grand!!! This is for high end S800 and S1000 rigs. There's already another solution out there, and I believe it's around $1500 or more....
If you're not flying a DSLR, this isn't for you.

I'm not sure how they can title it "DJI Lightbridge" when it apparently has nothing to do with the DJI we all know. That alone makes me afraid to purchase anything from them. No thanks. I shift my eyes left and right and exit that website, slowly...

Are you saying this is not a DJI product?

Not at all. It's kind of early to say what it will do, but those are all good observations. I suppose once it's officially released in a few weeks we'll see for sure!

The Lightbridge app on the Google Play store is made by the same DJI that made the app for your Vision, so I'd say it's got everything to do with the DJI we all know...

And here's some auto-translated specs from Chinese that I found on the internet:

DJI Lightbridge is DJI upcoming 2.4G full high-definition digital video transmission system, the maximum transmission 1920 * 1080p @ 30fps full HD video data, measured the effective transmission distance up to 1.7km , is a professional aerial photography and FPV enthusiasts essential artifact!

First, the characteristics

· 2.4G Full HD digital transmission
- Digital video transmission, input supports up to 1920 * 1080 @ 60fps , output up to 1920 * 1080 @ 30fps ;

· distance
- Use 2.4G RF technology, transmitting power 100mw (CE and FCC certification);
- Ground terminal with 5dbi omni-directional antenna (standard), measured the effective transmission distance of 1.7km (1.05mile);
- Ground terminal with 14dbi directional antenna (optional), measured the effective transmission distance up to 5km (3.1mile);

• Multiple video input and output formats
- AV input;
- HDMI input;
- USB 2.0 Full HD video output: IOS, Android and other mobile phones, tablet PCs do monitor via USB connection using;
- HDMI HD video output;

· Built-in remote link
- Downlink and uplink remote video link system while working at 2.4Ghz;
- Ground terminal via remote control coach to get the remote control port data sent to the client through the sky uplink, downlink synchronization with the video link, without disturbing each other;
- Ground terminal controller supports two simultaneous input Lu Yao, were used as aircraft control and PTZ control, the sky receives transmitted to the master via DBUS;

• Immunity
- Uplink frequency hopping (FHSS) + Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology, high transmission stability, strong anti-jamming capability;
- Downlink MIMO multiple antenna technology and using OFDM modulation, with advanced algorithms to effectively improve the stability of the system data bandwidth and complex environment, improve the dynamic performance of the system;
- Real-time monitoring of each downlink channel interference state, dynamically select the best channel operation (up to 8 image transmission channels);
- Same time and can support up to eight devices simultaneously sets Lightbridge;

• Low latency
- 80ms maximum delay systems; • OSD function


- Built-in OSD function, with NAZAV2, WKM, A2 use when no external IOSD, information overlay function can be realized;

• Bundled flight controllers
- Equipment must NAZA V2, WKM, A2 used in conjunction with the master;

• Multi-slave mode and Information Security
- End single sky and simultaneously work with multiple ground terminal (only one ground terminal to transmit control data, the device can only receive the rest of the video);
- Data encryption transmission, only after the ground terminal on the frequency authorized to receive video data to ensure information security;

• Large capacity battery and the external charging
- Built-in 4000mAh high capacity ground terminal battery, the device can work for 4.5 hours;
- Standard charger or 3s-6s battery can be charged, charging only 1.5h;
- Battery power LED visual indication;
- Through the USB external mobile devices, providing the charging function for mobile devices, an external device to extend the use of time;

Second, Specifications
Video Input HDMI, AV, DVSB
Supported formats (HDMI) 720P50; 720P60; 1080I50; 1080I60; 1080P25; 1080P30; 1080P50; 1080P60;
Supported formats (AV) PAL25; NTSC30

Interface (ground side) LED lights; power switch; charging port; USB 2.0; HDMI; remote control inputs (two Luyao controller input)
Interface (Sky end) LED lights; DBUS; HDMI; AV; DVSB; keys for frequency
Material Aluminum
Power supply (ground terminal) DC power input 11 ~ 26V; built-in lithium battery; Consumption: 6W (no external USB device), 8W (external USB device)
Power (Sky end) DC power input 11 ~ 26V; Power consumption: 8W
Dimensions (ground side) 125 * 89 * 20 (mm)
Dimensions (Sky end) 67 * 47 * 20 (mm)
Weight (ground side) 360g
Weight (Sky end) 70g


Performance than several million existing digital image transmission system, price to be determined, is expected to price and A2 considerable time to market is expected about a month;
later specific price and time to market for ten days ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ announced
DJI Happy New Year, MasterCard wishful! !

Agreed. That's the same information I'm seeing. Speculation is the price. I'm hearing around $1200, but that's in no way confirmed.

Oh good, I was looking for a solution that would do....whatever that is.

 

[juarboleda]

2.4 Ghz Signal ? for what drone ? Drone with transmiter in 5.8 ? as PV but not HDMi or Video signal ? I think is for office use....

I *think* that's the point...combining video and control info in a single (and amplified) 2.4GHz signal. The ground end is equipped to connect to a controller as well as video displays, and the aircraft end has a D-bus connection in addition to the video connections.

This looks like a product that adds advanced "Vision-like" features to DJI's big, expensive high-end drones that fly DSLR cameras. But in a very integrated way that doesn't require separate 2.4 and 5.8GHz systems - it adds HD video to those drones' existing 2.4Ghz control system. There's a detailed thread over at the other forum site:

The $200 price seems to be a typo or translation error. More like $1200-1500.

 

[OI Photography]

It seems it has built-in OSD as well, so it can replace:

Tx/Rx
vTx/vRx
OSD
Antennae

That Price can't be right.

That price is the pre order "your now on the list we'll tell you how much when they arrive" price ....

How much was it listed for? The page is taken down now...

It wasnt listed. This is all speculation.
