= Prolog =

If you want to see the live image on the ground from an attached camera at the Kopter you need to have an additional video transmitter and receiver.<<BR>>
The used (video-)camera should be able to provide a video image during the photo- and video shooting (live view).<<BR>><<BR>>

'''INFO''' <<BR>>
Most of the (Video-)cameras comes with a video cable. With this cable in example you can connect the (video-)camera to a TV to watch the recorded material.<<BR>>
This cable has usually 3 cinch plugs (or cinch couplings) in colors yellow, red and white (or black). The video image comes via the yellow cinch plug.<<BR>><<BR>>

Examples: <<BR>><<BR>>

= AV NANO Stinger transmitter =

The ''AV NANO Stinger Video transmitter'' can work with a normal PAL video signal. A HDMI signal can __not__ be transmitted.<<BR>>
The Video transmitter includes 2 cables. Only the one with the 6 wires will beused.<<BR>><<BR>>

Three of this cables you have to connect with the little Molex-socket. <<BR>>
Here you can see how to do it: <<BR>><<BR>>

= At the MikroKopter - Video transmitter =

At the MikroKopter you need to have a video transmitter. This video transmitter need to be connected to the (video-)camera.<<BR>>
For that reason that most of the (video-)cameras have a PAL video output (via jacks or USB) with the appropriate cinch plug the connection with the Cinch-Molex-Adapter to the video transmitter is pretty easy.<<BR>><<BR>>

== Example: Camera with PAL video output ==

Most of the (video-)cameras provide a video output e.g. via a jack or an USB port. An appropriate connection cable comes mostly with the camera.<<BR>>
That cable need to be connected with the yellow cinch plug to the video transmitter. <<BR>><<BR>>

To supply the video receiver with power you can connect the receiver e.g. to the power distribution board of the Kopter.

'''__Bill of material (BOM):__'''<<BR>><<BR>>

'''Should be available: ''' 
 * (Video-)camera + video connection cable<<BR>><<BR>>

'''Is required: ''' 
 * Video transmitter (AV Nano Stinger: [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=112&products_id=679|Link]])
 * Cinch-Molex-Adapter ([[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=112&products_id=685|Link]])
 * Clip Nano Stinger (for attachment of the video transmitter to the camera mount SLR1/2: [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=112&products_id=718|Link]])
 * BEC cable 2pole socket (can be soldered to the power distribution board for the power supply of the video transmitter: [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=112&products_id=684|Link]])
<<BR>>

== Example: Camera with HDMI video output  ==

If a camerea with a HDMI output is used an additional HDMI-Converter must be used. This converter changes the HDMI signal into a PAL signal. <<BR>><<BR>>

To supply the video receiver with power you can connect the receiver e.g. to the power distribution board of the Kopter.

== Example: Mini CMOS camera  ==

If you use a camera without video output you can also carry a small light mini camera in addition to the Kopter instead. <<BR>>
The mini camera need to be assembled in example to the camera mount and the view direction should be set in that way the camera takes the shooting.<<BR>><<BR>>

To supply the video receiver with power you can connect the receiver e.g. to the power distribution board of the Kopter.

= On the ground - Video receiver =

Via a video receiver you can receive the signal from the video transmitter. <<BR>>
Video receiver you can get with one or two antennas. Receiver with two antennas can be switched to the antenna with the better reception. <<BR>>
To a receiver with two antennas you can connect also different antennas.<<BR>>
In example a stub (for narrow areas) and a directional antenna (for longer distance).<<BR>><<BR>>

To watch the received video image you need to have in example a monitor.<<BR>>
An appropriate monitor with holder for a video receiver and a Lipo for the power supply you can easily order in our MikroKopter Onlineshop.<<BR>>
The connection is more than easy. <<BR>><<BR>>

== Example: Video receiver at MK-Monitor  ==

== Example: Video receiver at Laptop  ==

The video receiver can be also connected to a Laptop. <<BR>>
For that reason that most of the Laptops do not have a video input a video-converter (Video-Grabber) must be connected in between.<<BR>>
For those converters you will get direct the appropriate software for the image view. <<BR>> <<BR>>
