HELI-EXPO is the world's largest helicopter trade show and exposition dedicated to the advancement of the international helicopter community. The latest enhancements enable SkymasterTX to be either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 capable, catering to those users with legacy receive systems. Due to its auto-detect functionality, SkymasterTX allows airborne aircraft to easily switch over from one receive site to another, while in flight.
IMT’s SkymasterTX is a lightweight, full-featured digital COFDM video downlink transmitter purpose built to address the unique requirements of aircraft downlink operations. The downlink transmitter has secure BCRYPT AES 128/256 encryption, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability with any standards-compliant equipment a customer may already have in his inventory. The chassis design features ARINC mounting, with all of the connections and controls located on one side of the unit. This allows users to remove SkymasterTX from one aircraft and install it in another with ease.
