3. ADDITIONAL GCS MENU FEATURES
a. Video Brightness
Lets you adjust the brightness of the video display on the screen (0 to 240), default value is 128.
b. Device Microphone level
This setting is common to all connected devices
This value will set the UAV’s embedded HD microphone level. By default, the level is set to 15%. It can be
changed at any time if higher levels are required.
c. Observe Device
This mode allows the use of the GCS as an image reception device. Users can navigate using the 4 Device
Buttons (Device Button LEDs will be powered on blue) and, thus, capture the image of nearby devices
(whether Sky-Hero devices or not) broadcasting in the frequencies set for each Device in the Video Channel
menu. In addition, the user can navigate all frequencies using the
SCROLL
of Joystick 2.
The status of the Scrambled Mode will affect the Observer Mode; if Scrambling is ON, the Observer Mode will
not be able to display unscrambled images, and vice-versa.
The GCS audio-video output will stream the selected channel.
d. Version
This submenu informs the GCS user about the current GCS (= “Remote”) version, the current communicating
UAV (= “Drone”) version and the Crossfire (embedded UHF transmitter) version.
e. Command action
This menu lets you activate functions/flight modes that are not allocated to any Allocable Button. Once in
the menu,
SCROLL
through the list and
CONFIRM
when the desired function is highlighted.
To make access as fast as possible, the Command Action submenu is the first one in the GCS menu. This
enables you to press MENU BUTTON and then immediately
ENTER
the Command Action submenu without
the need to
SCROLL
.
Motor Shutdown is listed last in the Command Action menu to enable quick access if this function is not
already allocated to a button;
SCROLL
up once when in the Command Action menu to highlight the Motor
Shutdown function.
Only Takeoff/Landing will require a further confirmation; the user needs to exit the menu after
CONFIRM
.
