senseFly EBEE RTK - Setting up Virtual Reference Broadcasters

Quick start guide
Note: If you have access to reference station files, it is not essential to
have the precise coordinates of your base station. Your eBee RTK logs
its position relative to the base station with a high degree of preci-
sion (using RTK corrections). Once your flight is complete, eMotion
can calculate your base station’s precise position using the raw data
stored on your base and reference stations. It can then apply a cor-
rection to your drone’s position to obtain precise absolute geo-tags
for your images. eMotion accepts reference station files in RINEX for-
mat. See section ‘Importing images and flight data’ on page 61 for
instructions.
2.4 Setting up virtual reference broadcasters
Note: eMotion also allows you to configure a series of connections
to Ntrip streams from public or subscription-based broadcasters and
set up virtual reference stations (VRSs).
Note: A pre-configured set of Ntrip broadcasters is available for use
in eMotion, and you can configure a connection to your own broad-
caster. Before using a subscription-based Ntrip stream, or an Ntrip
stream that requires registration, you must first register or subscribe
through the stream provider, for example, on their website or by con-
tacting them directly. You cannot registeror subscribe using eMotion.
Step 1 Find a suitable Ntrip broadcaster and register or subscribe if necessary
before adding the VRS to eMotion.
Step 2 Click RTK Setup on the eMotion toolbar.
Step 3 In the Virtual Reference tab, click Add Virtual Reference.
Step 4 To use a pre-configured stream, choose the broadcaster’s server domain
from the Server menu. To set up a custom stream, enter the broadcaster’s
domain in the Server menu.
