There are rumours that the new Tandem X20 will support DJI's FPV system, I just asked my contact at Frsky and no, it's Frsky's own digital fpv system and won't be compatible with DJI's. It will be integrated into their coming radios, and you can output it to FPV goggles through HDMI, a bit like Sharkbyte. That's gonna be really interesting to see!

One of those companies is DJI and the other is Divimath (the same company who FatShark partnered with for Shark Byte). It's highly unlikely that FrSky have poured the necessary amount of cash required into developing their own silicon, and if they did then they would be shouting about it from the rooftops and not just putting a one-liner in the transmitter spec sheet with no other information whatsoever. This has been circulating in the community for a while and people are under the belief that FrSky have likely teamed up with Divimath and are making use of their already developed HDZero technology. That might also explain the reference to "zero" latency in the spec sheet. I guess we shall have to wait and see. So in essence it could just be a variation of Shark Byte built into the FrSky X20 transmitter. Only the Horus X20 HD version of the X20 transmitter supports that and as of yet no price has been released for that particular version. • Posts: 668 Threads: 31 Likes Received: 208 in 158 posts Likes Given: 95 Joined: Feb 2019 Reputation: 14 (03-Apr-2021, 04:57 PM)voodoo614 Wrote: That is cumbersome to have a HDMI cable from your radio to thr goggles. Yeah. Even Sharkbyte is pretty cumbersome. DJI has the more polished product. I have the attitude v4 and it doesn't have HDMI so all of these digital alternatives are no alternative for me... I hope something else appears on the market. This seems more about the same. • Posts: 6,160 Threads: 172 Likes Received: 2,298 in 1,845 posts Likes Given: 4,755 Joined: Feb 2019 Reputation: 103 (03-Apr-2021, 06:38 PM)Maiden Flight Wrote: Yeah.

Although I avoid the FrSky ecosystem (not completely as i still fly XLite-S but only due to OpenTX) but perhaps their partnership with Divimath can bring something different to the table compared to Fatshark. Fatshark as we all know have a way of adding features very cautiously or lazily/slowly. I do have a feeling that Fatshark may have projected Divimath’s visibility in the FPV space by partnering with them for Sharkbyte but they may have slowed down growth of the system as well. ImmersionRC used to collaborate extensively with Fatshark in the past but this slowed down and we do not see much happening in this space probably due to similar reasons. ImmersionRC had to even release a firmware update to the Fatshark dvr to facilitate its Rapidfire users with a fix, something Fatshark should have done. LivyuFPV has done a teardown on the Sharbyte system and some of his opinions are: The VRX board has a good FPGA processor that can handle a lot more computation and the whoop vtx board has an rf amplifier that can handle 500mW but Fatshark decided to limit it to 200mW. This is probably not the right place to mention this since its not a Sharkbyte thread but people compare video quality while I feel what matters the most is signal penetration and strength. FrSky does make good hardware and they might be able to make the hardware more compact and reliable. • Posts: 41 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 4 in 4 posts Likes Given: 1 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 Yeah, just saw the JB/ DroneCamps Drama over this I think JB was right, he had too much caffeine. I am starting to take an interest in the FrSky digital system. Money/Price is no problem for me so I will definitely be trying the new FrSky hd system, • |
