21 Digital Image Communication
Note: An optional memory module is required to use this function.
Receive
W hen valid digital image data is received, it will be decoded and output as a video image from the
VIDEO OUT connector.
If received data is missing during a transmission, that portion will be displayed as invalid (like noise).
Transmit
W hen pin - 4 of the microphone connector is grounded, the ARD9800 starts sending the image.
Note: W hen the Video Through Function is activated (AVT command is ON), pressing the TX switch
will enable output of the video signal connected to the Video Input to also be sent to the video
output, so that you can monitor the video image. Press the TX switch again to capture the
image and then transmit it through the radio equipment.
W hen the Video Through Function is de-activated (AVT command is OFF), pressing the TX
switch will automatically capture the video image and then transmit it through the radio
equipment.
A Progress indicator will display on the monitor during image transmission.
