A.Overview
1.Product Features
①The H16 series uses the newest surging processor, equipped with an Android embedded system and
advanced SDR technology, also with a super protocol stack to make the image clearer, lower latency, longer
distance transmission, and stronger anti-interference. Wildly applied for drones, Robots, industrial controlled
equipment, etc.
② Supports rich interfaces such as HDMI, RJ45, sensor interface, dual serial ports passthrough transmission,
SBUS, aerial photography, FPV security, fire protection, power, mapping robot, border control, etc.
③ IP67 design, based on waterproof, dust free and drop-resistant materials and structure to ensure its great
using feel and durability.
④ H16 uses 7-inch FHD high-brightness display, Original A grade screen,1800 nits brightness IPS LCD screen,
which can be viewed clearly under the sun. Supports 1080P high-definition digital image transmission. The
dual-antenna signals complement each other, with super-strong signals and ultra-long transmitting distances,
combined with algorithm control and out-of-step frequency hopping algorithms, greatly increasing the ability to
communicate with weak signals. So you don’t need to worry about the flight distance during flight operations,
just explore a wider scenery. H16’s video transmission distance is around 5-10km, H16 Pro’s video transmission
distance is around 20-30KM.
⑤ Integrated with high energy density lithium ion battery, 18w fast charging, can work for 8-15 hours after
2 hours of charging. The consistent survival thinking in the wilderness allows you to have no concerns about the
reliability of our equipment.
⑥ H16/H16 Pro supports rich interfaces such as HDMI, RJ45, sensor interface, dual serial port passthrough
transmission, SBUS, etc. And supports many brands cameras, pan-tilts, pods and other video equipment.
Provide development kit, SDK and technical support, support video suspension, support ground station of
mainstream flight control, support QGC and wireless RTSP video stream sharing.
⑦ The use of weather silica gel, frosted rubber, stainless steel, and aviation aluminum alloy makes the
extreme operating feel, and also meets the harsh conditions of outdoor use of drones. H16 is dust-free and
waterproof in the fuselage, control switches, and various peripheral interfaces. Protective measures such as
splashing can ensure stable and smooth operation of the equipment in harsh environments.
⑧ Rich ground-end interface, Coach PPM input + output, RJ45 network interface, long-distance connection
to the internal network, Type-C Android high speed USB interface, OTG interface can be connected to U disk and
network card, etc., expanded TF card slot.
⑨ An independent 2-dimensional gimbal joystick makes the gimbal flying with great facility, like a duck to
water.
2.Main purpose and scope of application

999 Click the coach mode, and choose the slave mode. Click to save.
3)Switch three modes with the coach controller’s SW switch.
① The upper lever is the student mode, which means the student controls the drone completely, the coach
does not participate. The coach can switch the mode to quickly take over when the students encounter a burst.
② The middle lever is the mixed controlling mode. At this time, both remote controls can operate, and the
coach can correct the operation of the student.
③ The down lever is the coach mode, and the students cannot operate.
Note: When using the coaching mode, the student’s side only has 4 channels of two joysticks that can be used,
while other channels are invalid. The student’s controller also cannot use the video & picture transmission and
ground station App.
5) Enter “rtsp://192.168.43.1:8554/fpv_stream” to URL and click “play”.

Part 10: Q & A
1：Can the remote control install other apps?
The permissions of the remote control are all open, and there is no special software or restricted software
installation and uninstallation.
2:How does the remote control enter the fast charge mode?
Only under using the original charger to enter the fast charge mode, and there is a text prompt on the lock
screen interface.
3:How to get the RTSP address when using MIPI or HDMI camera?
Open the H16 helper, open the video to view, click on the settings (virtual button), click on the video stream
address, click on custom to copy the link below that starts with RTSP. Then paste.
4:Data transmission/telemetry cannot be connected.
Check whether the ground station is connected with UDP way to connect to the TX and whether the listening
port of the RX’s port 0 is 14551. Check whether the baud rate is normal. Check if RX and TX is connected
reversely (connect RX to TX TX to RX correctly).
5:The video/image cannot be displayed after connecting to the webcam.
The video/image transmitted through the network port has a dedicated RTSP address. Not compatible with
MIPI/HDMI. This RTSP address needs to be consulted with the webcam manufacturer.
6:The remote control's network port cannot be connected to the Internet.
Please turn off WIFI when connecting 5G network card or network port.
7:The remote control cannot connect to WIFI.
The remote control can only connect to the 5G band WIFI, and the mobile phone can change the hotspot to the
5G band hotspot.
