The Smart Antenna Tracker allows the pilot to stay away from the antennas and better focus on the flight.
Some of the news:
The antenna tracker allows the pilot to stay away from the antennas and better focus on the flight.
In the case of places where the pilot and the GCS must be in a fixed station, in a vehicle or sheltered because the weather is bad, cold, sunny and the flights are long, the use of the antenna tracker is necessary.
A professional, robust, powerful automatic tracking antenna, 360º rotation, 1º precision, with battery included for 4h and with directional antennas and automatic switching with omnidirectional antennas if the UAV is close.
Radio control and telemetry antennas are independent from video antennas.
Combined tracking modes, by UAV position and by received signal level at the UAV and at the antennas.
With a robust mechanical system that can support multiple antennas and withstand the force of the wind, easily
removable and transportable.
The aluminum profile bar where the antennas are fixed allows the antennas to be mounted in various positions depending on the types of antenna used and is removable to facilitate transport.
Directional antennas in no way obstruct omnidirectional antennas.
TFT IPS 1.5″ display to view parameters and alarms. These data can also be displayed on any of the instruments in the GCSD4V3 or GCSD5.
SATPro receives the data of the GPS position and height by Telemetry from the UAV or drone, combining this data with the position of the SAT with its local GPS and the RF signal received by the antennas, determines where the UAV is and points the antenna at the position with the best signal reception.

SATPro works with XLRS systems, portable Ground Control Stations GCSD4 or GCSD5 and with Fixed Ground Control Stations GCSD6 (in preparation).
From a Ground control Station the data can be combined with LTE or SATCOM Iridium or Inmarsat (consult).

You can choose between full HD digital video for 30km or more than 50Km or analog video up to 100km.
Video Digital Full HD:
The expected ranges are: 30Km and 50Km at the moment. If you need other ranges, please consult by mail at sales@dmd.es.
The price of digital video is higher than analog video for a similar range, also the video performance is better, we think that the price will drop little by little over time.
The digital video system is integrated in the SATPro together with the radio control RF and telemetry, since to obtain the highest ranges in 2.4Ghz it is necessary to use directional antennas with automatic tracking.
The digital video system is independent from the radio control system, this provides greater security and effective range.
The standard frequency band for video is 2.4Ghz, optionally it can be 800Mhz and 1.4Ghz.
Wireless connection without delay of 30m to the base station and also HDMI cable connection for those who need it.
Analog Video:
RXVID analog video is very inexpensive and long range, has less resolution and is only licensed with low power in some countries. The cameras are usually cheap.
The analog video is broadcast from the antennas to the GCSD4 on a 5.8Ghz channel so it doesn’t need a cable, although it has an AV output if necessary.
