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.

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.
Multi-monitor mode In this mode a single transmitter can establish a link with several receivers. A link can be established even when the systems are not within close proximity to each other. Operating Frequencies FREQUENCIES [MHz] DESCRIPTION 5755 Non-DFS 5795 Non-DFS Switching between Aerial and Multi-monitor modes Switching between Aerial and Multi-monitor will be done by toggling DIP switch #4 on the Rx side and sliding Mode Slide switch on the Tx side.

Troubleshooting Registration fails Make sure both transmitter and receiver are powered on. Make sure the power cable is continuous. Make sure that pairing units are the only Amimon devices currently powered on. Bring the transmitter and receiver closer together but no closer than 1 meter. Keep the number of solid walls between the transmitter and receiver to a minimum. No Signal on monitor Make sure the receiver is powered on. Make sure the monitor is powered on.
Make sure the IR receiver is connected to the Amimon-AMN36254_PR2 receiver. Make sure there is a far enough distance between the IR receiver and any fluorescent lighting or radiation interfering with the IR signals.
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.
