2. Overview

SkyHopper PRO V offers a bi-directional Data Link enabling video processing & analytics, with a built-in video encoder /

decoder. Furthermore, SkyHopper PRO V contains 3 camera interfaces – HDMI, Analog, and IP, and contains a dual camera

input for a simultaneous connection to two cameras. SkyHopper PRO V offers real-time Full HD video at a glass-to-glass low

latency. It is specifically designed for commercial and industrial drones, and provides the best solution for fleet management

and autonomous UAV systems.

By employing leading wireless technologies, SkyHopper PRO V delivers long range and Non-Line of Sight (N-LOS)

communication that supports broadcast, multicast and unicast transmission modes. SkyHopper PRO V supports Point-to-

Point and Point-to-Multipoint communication, thereby enabling various modes of operation such as communication for

multi-drone operations and drone communication to multiple ground units and viewers (receivers).

An additional benefit of your SkyHopper PRO V is that it offers Control, Telemetry and Payload all in one RF channel. No need

for separate solutions for each, no need for excess items to weigh down your drone.

2.1. Network Topologies & Applications

2.1.1. Point-to-Point (PTP)

A Point-to-Point system includes 2 units, with the bandwidth ratio between the two units configurable according to

the application. It can be symmetric when a full duplex communication is required (50% to each unit) or asymmetric

up to 10% to one unit (Controller or Remote Unit) and 90% to the other unit (i.e. drone/robot that transmits video to

the ground/controller unit and that controls the camera).

Below is an example of an asymmetric link: 6Mbps configuration, where 10% of available BW is allocated for uplink

and 90% is allocated for downlink.

6. TMDA

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows several units to

share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The units transmit and receive on the same

frequency in a synchronized manner. Every unit transmits in its own dedicated time slots. On the other time slots said unit

receives the transmission sent by the other units that are members of the same network (which are also transmitting on their

own dedicated slots).

TDMA requires a synchronization system. The system is synchronized internally, externally or via GPS (synchronization varies

between topologies and method used).

The SkyHopper PRO V unit uses TDMA regardless of the application type, PTP or PTMP.

7. Point-to-Point (PTP)

A PTP network is a radio link between 2 SkyHopper PRO V units. The configuration (frequency and profile) of both units must

be the same with only one difference - one unit is configured as a Remote Unit while the other unit is configured as a

Controller Unit.

The Remote Unit works with its internal clock and synchronizes the Controller Unit. After power-up, the Remote Unit starts

transmitting regardless of link status. The Controller Unit however, does not transmit and stays in Rx mode, trying to acquire

synchronization by finding a preamble (synchronization pattern). As soon as the Controller Unit recognizes the pattern, it

starts to transmit according to its allocated time slot.

The transmission bandwidth ratio is predefined as part of the profile configuration as asymmetric up to 10% to one unit

(remote or controller) and 90% to the other unit.

User Manual

Figure 5: Transmit frames of the remote unit and controller unit from Power Up

 Note: A viewer unit acts like a Controller unit but with one major change, it does not transmit

and only receives.

7.1. PTP Link Step-by-Step Configuration

In order to build a PTP link, two SkyHopper PRO V units are required. One unit acts as a remote unit, while the other

as a controller unit.

1. Connect antennas to RF1 and RF2 connectors, and power up the unit.

! CAUTION – Powering up a unit without connecting the antennas can cause irreparable damage to the unit.

2. Connect the unit to a PC using a standard Ethernet Cat 5 cable.

3. Set static IP in the 192.168.131.xxx subnet (For more information, see the Web GUI Instructional Manual).

4. Using the Web GUI: Open a web browser installed on your PC / laptop (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.)

and input in the address line: 192.168.131.241. That should connect you to the Web GUI interface, as shown on

Figure 6:

Figure 6: Web GUI main screen

5. To change the frequency to the required frequency, click on “Advanced Configuration” (third tab on the left

corner) and on the “Frequency” line write the desired frequency within the frequency range set in your unit.

User Manual

6. Set the profile as required (RF bandwidth, bitrate and ratio) and click on the “Apply” button as shown on Figure

7. The unit will reboot.

7. Repeat stages 1-4 with the 2nd unit.

Figure 7: Web GUI “Advanced configuration” screen

 NOTE – A PTP setup requires 2 SkyHopper PRO V units configured with same frequency and profile.

7.2. SkyHopper PRO V LED Indicator

By following the LED on the unit, the power and link status can be monitored. It is described as follows:

 ACTV LED:

o Off – Power Down

o On - Booting Up

o Slow Blinking – Remote unit is transmitting, controller unit receiving (P2P search)

o Fast Blinking – Air Link is up

 DATA LED

o Off – No Ethernet detected

o On – Ethernet Cable is connected to a working device on host – No Data

o Slow Blink – Error (synced to ACTV LED)

o Fast Blink – Tx & Rx Air Traffic active

Should there be an error in your SkyHopper PRO V unit, both the ACTV and DATA LEDs will be simultaneously slow

blinking.

Link status, CINR, RSSI, throughput and unit log information is available in the Web GUI, which can be found online at

www.skyhopper.biz/skyhopper-pro-v#support.

8. Video Configuration

User Manual

SkyHopper PRO V has 3 camera connection interfaces:

1. HDMI Digital

2. Analog

3. IP

The HDMI camera connects to the HDMI input port of SkyHopper PRO V; the analog camera connects to the supplied RCA cable,

which then connects to the analog port; and the IP camera connects to Ethernet port.

 Please note: The “Video” sessions are for HDMI and analog cameras only.

Each SkyHopper PRO V unit can be configured as “Remote” or “Controller”. Depending on the configuration, the “Video” screen

will be adjusted accordingly. If the unit will be defined as “Remote”, the “Video” screen will be adjusted to a video encoder

configuration, and if the unit will be defined as “Controller”, the “Video” screen will be adjusted to a video decoder configuration.

In the encoder mode, the cameras are inputs and in decoder mode, a display screen is connected.

There are two ways to receive a decoded stream:

1. Hardware decoder – If the user has 2 SkyHopper PRO V units, the one that is defined as a “Controller” will also

be defined as decoder, thus it will decode video streams using the hardware. The advantage of using hardware

to decode the video stream/s, is that better latency performance will be achieved than when using software

decoder. Please refer to the Web GUI Instructional Manual for more information.

2. Software decoder – If the user decides to use a proper video player, he can avoid using SkyHopper PRO V as a

decoder, and receive the video streams directly to his PC / laptop / tablet. The main disadvantage with this

method is that the user must have a good video player with low latency, but regardless, using this method will

not yield the same latency performance as with hardware decoder. Please refer to the IP Connection Guide for

more information.

8.1. Video Information

Video Information is a separate screen in the SkyHopper PRO VV Web GUI. This screen shows actual camera

definitions that are connected to (and powered by) a SkyHopper PRO V unit and also shows the SD card status (if

present), as shown by the example in Figure 8:

 NOTE – The SD card has a 32 GB size limit.

User Manual

Figure 8: Web GUI “Video Information” screen

 NOTE – This screen will be functional only when a SkyHopper PRO V unit will be set as a “Remote” unit. This is

due to the fact that a camera may not be connected directly to the decoder because a video stream from said

camera must first be encoded, and only then may it be decoded on the other side.

The HDMI and Analog rows show camera type status, if one is connected to the “Remote” unit. The “Camera

Detected” field shows whether an HDMI / Analog camera was detected, “NTSC/PAL” shows the camera video

encoding system. The “FPS” (Frame per Second) field shows the number of frames detected. The “Status” field shows

the camera’s readiness (it MUST be “locked” to obtain a video stream). The “Interlace/Progressive” field shows the

video scanning method. In the “SD Card” section, “Inserted” shows if there is an SD card present or not, and

“Recording” shows if there is a video stream recording on the SD card.

User Manual

8.2. Video Encoder

To set a video configuration, you must go to the “Video” setup screen, as displayed in Figure 9:

Figure 9: Web GUI “Video” screen of the encoder

Each camera connection (HDMI / Analog) has almost identical settings except for the “Stream” and “Record” resolutions.

SkyHopper PRO V supports broadcast, multicast and unicast video streaming. If you wish to use multiple viewers, a

multicast configuration should be used.

To set up a broadcast or multicast streaming, a proper IP address must be entered in the “Destination IP” field, within the

range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. In this case, the user must also set a proper port in the “Port” field.

To set up a unicast streaming, a valid IP address must be set in the “Destination IP” field - it is recommended to use

standard NAT address. Please pay attention that this should be an IP address of the user’s laptop / PC that is connected

to the “Controller” SkyHopper PRO V unit. In this case, the user will not need to set a proper port in the “Port” field,

because the video streaming will be directed to his laptop / PC. When using a SkyHopper PRO V as a “Remote” unit, the

destination IP and port should be adjusted accordingly.

 NOTE – If you use SkyHopper PRO V as an encoder and on the other side you are planning to use SkyHopper

PRO V as a decoder (hardware decoder), the “Destination IP” address MUST be the same on both sides. If you

are planning to use a video player installed on the PC / laptop (software decoder), the “Destination IP” on the

encoder side (“Remote” unit) must be set as an IP address of that specific PC / laptop.

User Manual

The user must keep in mind that there are several options to set video streams that depend on which and how many

cameras are connected.

 NOTE – When speaking about a video stream, we mean the video we are getting from camera.

In our case, if the recording of the video stream will be defined the same as video stream (HDMI or analog

camera), we’ll be using only one video stream, and one mux. If the recording will have different definitions

from the video streams, it will have a separate mux and that way, the user will be getting two video streams

from one camera, using two muxes (multiplexes).

How many cameras do you

want to connect?

You can get:

1) One HDMI 1080p30 video stream with one analog stream

(see a in the table below)

2) One HDMI 720p60 video stream with one analog stream

(see c in the table below)

3) One HDMI 720p30 video stream with two analog streams

Table 6: Video stream connection options

The user can get up to 2 physical video streams, one from an HDMI camera and one from an Analog camera. In doing so,

there will be involved 2 muxes (that actually combine 2 streams into one). For recording (on SD card), another mux must

be used. So when in the table is seen “2 x” or “1 x”, it refers to the number of video streams that can be used. “2 x” means

that the same stream will be recorded on an SD card as well.

There is an option to set lower resolutions for HDMI / Analog cameras (such as VGA or 480p30 for an HDMI camera and

VGA or CIF for analog camera). In this case, there may be an option to use “2 x” on both cameras. The encoder has 4

muxes, so you cannot obtain more than 4 streams.

The user can set the desired FPS number in “FPS” field.

User Manual

The “Audio” trigger enables / disables the audio stream that would be embedded within the video stream. Audio

capabilities are currently disabled, but will be enabled in the near future.

The “Record” trigger enables the recording of a stream over the SD card (if present). The user can select the FPS number

and quality (if it is supported in that resolution combined with the analog stream as described in Table 6).

The “OSD” (On Screen Display) trigger allows for displaying any on-screen message once it is enabled. The user can set a

string or Date/Time stamping. When a GPS antenna is connected to the unit, the date and time will be adjusted

automatically.

There is an option to stream audio only via the encoder, without a video stream. It will only be enabled when both HDMI

and Analog streams will be disabled.

The last one is a “Diagnostics” menu. The user can set the encoder to test mode which sends a color stripe image that

enables the user to test the link and understand if the problem of video streaming is because of the link/configuration or

the camera/cable connection. It should not be triggered when testing it, otherwise the camera video will not be shown.
