Third party videolink and professional pod wiring notices:
Pod
Brief functional description, supported pod type, etc.
The pod system is divided into two levels: professional load, lightweight load. Adapt to different levels
of multi-rotor drones or unmanned straight-lifts. Different levels of load, shock absorption quick-detach
mounting plate can not be replaced with each other, but GCS software and the data chain is unified.

Mission management module
IRIS
IRISI1 uses industrial high performance CPU, equipped with 4G communication module, external expansion
of 3 channels of CAN bus interface ,2 channels of serial port ,3 channels of network port, convenient for all
types of flight control, mission equipment access and management. The task management unit realizes the
highly self-automation and intelligence of the UAV industry task through the cooperative management of the
flight control and the task equipment.
It can realize the display and control functions such as remote viewing of pod image, remote control of pod,
remote transmission of flight control information through 4G communication mode.
IRIS embedded Mavlink protocol, support PIX and other flight control, other flight control can use serial
transmission.
Independently developed SaaS-level services, with task management unit, can achieve UAV remote task
planning, real-time monitoring and other functions, image transmission delay is only 100ms.

Installation (with notes)
Hardware Installation
Software Installation and Conguration
A. IDU, IDUS installed to drone.
Please install the IDU, IDUS to the proper position of the UAV to ensure that the installation position is stable,
firm and no sloshing.
Ensure that there is no occlusion and interference in the range of pod activity.
Make sure the IDU module is dry without blocking in the shock absorption range. Please keep certain
activity space redundancy for power cord, network cable ,7P transfer wiring,
Ensure locking between pod and IDU, buckle well and prevent shedding during flight.
Do not plug the pod when the aircraft is electrified.
Please check the damping shock absorber regularly for breakage and leakage. In case of breakage, please
replace in time. Do not disassemble the damper ball frequently, or touch the ball with sharp objects to avoid
breakage.
B. Datalink sky-end installation, antenna installation
Please install the datalink in the appropriate position of the aircraft and ensure good ventilation and heat
dissipation.
Make sure the cable (4P wire, serial line) is firmly connected, no loosening, no breakage of the cable.
Please keep a certain activity space redundancy for power cord, network cable, serial port.
C. IDU and videolink sky-end Power Supply
IDU / IDUS R2S (with sky end, ground end) supports 12-25v power supply.

Pod segment modification, take “change 42 segment to 1 segment” as an example:
1→pod electrified, and connected the pod to the computer through the wire, the pod works normally after
about 15 seconds, the computer recognizes the camera network.
2→TCPIPV4 settings, as shown below, are saved after confirmation
3. Use GCS ground station for gateway setting
Click to search device, then double-click the pop-up IP bar, save it after modification, and restart the gimbal.

Tablet (or touch screen) mouse, virtual button operation:
1. Yaw, Pitch adjustment
Hold down the left button of the mouse (slides on the screen if using the touch screen) and move up and
down in the interface. the lens move following the mouse position. Loosen the mouse left button, the lens
stops moving and stays in the current position.
2. Point zoom
Double-click the mouse left button (double-click if it is the touch screen), the double-click position move to
the center of the screen and zoom in 2 times, accumulating to the maximum focal segment.
Sliding mouse wheel, can also control the zoom in and out of the lens.
Click the mouse right button (long press for 3 second on the touch-screen ), and the screen automatically
returns to the 1X focus section.
3. Focus
Camera default auto-focus mode, when the screen background is complex, can use the virtual keys "focus
plus" and "focus-" for manual focus.
If the screen blurred for a long time, you can click on the "focus A" virtual button, actively focus.
4. Calibration
If the user does not use the topgun series flight control, not connect digital link, CAN transfer. When
operating in an environment with large pre- and post-flight temperature differences (e.g., winter aircraft
moving from indoors to outside). Calibration is recommended before flight to reduce heading drift.
5. Auto tracking
Click on the target tracking button, then the mouse moves to the real-time screen display area, press and
hold the left mouse button, drag to select the desired tracking target area, release the left mouse button will
appear a box. the pod will automatically track the target inside the box.
6. Calibration steps
pod initialization is complete, into normal working state. Clicking on the calibration virtual button (setting →
calibration), the pod will enter the calibration state (the gimbal motor does not work at this time) ensure that
the aircraft and the gimbal is in a static state (the gimbal does not need to keep horizontal), after waiting for
5 to 10 seconds, the pod is re-initialized to complete the calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
No Image
Hardware checking:
pod power supply is normal, pod and idu module are properly connected. The pod works properly.
Datalink (sky end, ground end) power supply is normal. The datalink sky end is properly connected to the
IDU module, and the connection wire is not broken. The datalink ground end and the computer is connected
normally, the network wire does not have the damage to break the circuit.
Software setup check:
Make sure the computer network is set correctly and the computer turns off the wifi when connecting the
datalink. The computer is not connected to any network other than the data link.
Software network IP address is incorrect :(when the gimbal, camera IP address changes, need to
synchronously modify this software IP)
Open GCS software → network settings
Modify the IP address.
