RC4 decoder V2.0. - October 2017 © MYLAPS rights reserved 5
2. General
Next to Remote Control (RC) Racing, Drone (DR) Racing is a new type of sports.
We upgraded the most advanced RC and DR timing system on the market; The RC4 system.
This system is based on our RC4 system, that has been used in the world of RC Racing for many years and still is the standard
for timing RC races.
The RC4 system works with a decoder, detection loops that are placed in and on (air) gates, timing software and DR5 and
RC4 transponders.
Every pilot owns or rents a lightweight transponder that is mounted onto the drone. The transponder sends out a unique
signal, so there is no video signal erroring. When pilots register the transponder to their MYLAPS Speedhive account, they get
an overview of all their training and race data.
When you already own a MYLAPS RC4 decoder, you can convert it to work with MYLAPS DR5 transponders through a
firmware update. Ask your account manager for this firmware update link.
This decoder will not remove your RC timing abilities, but your decoder will come with an option to easily switch between
both disciplines.
