Note: Camera logo for TX unit. Monitor logo for RX unit
TX Unit automatic identifies video type. If SDI video input, Tx unit will encode and transmit SDI
video. If HDMI video input, it will encode and transmit HDMI video.
Note: If Both are connected and active, it will encode and transmit SDI video
RX Unit outputs both SDI and HDMI video simultaneously. Two monitors can be connected.
The SDI and HDMI monitor will display the video at same time.
The voltage input voltage is 7~18V
Power LED will be bright when power on
WAN LED will be flashing when the video is transmitting/receiving
Wireless status LEDs. LED1 will be bright when the wireless communication link between Tx
and Rx has been established successfully.
LED2 and LED3 are reserved for production testing
SMA is to connect antenna
Note: Both the antennas should be in good connection before power on
MicroUSB: Reserved for production testing

Serial connector: Connect the TTL-serial cable to transmit serial signal, voltage is 3.3V.
SMA connector: Connect antenna.
Note: Both the antennas should be in good connection before power on
LAN Connectors
LAN LED
--Bright: The LAN connector is connected successfully to external device via a LAN cable
--Flashing: Data is transmitting via the LAN connector
¼”-20 screw hole for installing/mounting the unit on UAV.
3.Installation Setps
1. Connect both Antennas on Tx and Rx
2. Connect Tx with SDI or HDMI Camera
3. Conenct Rx with a monitor
4. Power on all the devices
5. After 10-20s, LED1 will be bright, which means the wireless link between Tx and Rx has been
established successfully
6. After a few senconds the monitor will display the camera’s video
7. When use the serial port, please refer the following information of the the voltage and data
format
(note: Wire color is irrelevant)

4.Play Video on Windows PC by TPlayer
Install TPlayer on a Windows PC (Windows 7 or Windows 10)
Connect the Windows PC to LAN1 or LAN2 port of receiver unit by one Ethernet Cable
When HDMI video/SDI Video is playing successfully on the monitor, run the TPlayer then select
the adapter connecting and click “Play” button

5. Steps of Network Configurations
FMS-8480 units are working as wireless bridge. Tx and Rx are in the same IP subnet 192.168.1
netmask is 255.255.255.0
IP Address of FMS-8480 as follows:
Tx
Rx
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
All external devices/PC connecting to LAN ports of FMS-8480 should be in the same IP subnet
192.168.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0
Steps of Network Configuration
1. Connect both Antennas on Tx and Rx
2. Configure the IP/gateway/mask of devices connected with Tx and Rx units
3. Connect network devices to LAN ports of Tx/Rx unit
4. Power on all the devices
5. After 10~20 seconds, LED1 will be bright, which means the wireless link between Tx and Rx has
been established successfully
Note: FMS-8480 supports HDMI/SDI video transmitting and network communication
simultaneously. While when HDMI/SDI video is transmitting over wireless channel, there is only
100kbps throughput left in the channel for LAN1+LAN2.
6.Notice
Before powering on, make sure both SMA has connected to antennas. Powering on a unit
without antenna as load, the PAs inside will be damaged
Two antennas of one unit should keep certain distance. We commend 1 meter for Tx side, 2
meters for Rx side. If two antennas don’t keep proper distance, the wireless signal may
become weaker and the communication distance will be short.
