Duo5800 – 5.8GHz A/V Diversity Receiver

A sensitive diversity receiver using NexWaveRF technology.
Supports 32 channels on the 5.8GHz band.

NexWaveRF

The Duo5800 includes ImmersionRC’s NexWaveRF technology, increasing inter-brand compatibility, and providing clean video in even the harshest of RF conditions.

Dual, independent receivers greatly increase usable range

 32 Channel support, ImmersionRC/FatShark/Airwave, Boscam, Team Black Sheep, DJI

 Exclusive high quality NexWaveRF receiver technology

 Triple A/V output, for three viewing/recording devices

 Single-button user interface, and remote control from the groundstation

 ~1km range with 25mW CE-Legal transmitters

Diversify

Diversity may be used in several ways, all of which provide a better FPV experience.

• Use two patch antennas to cover a wider flight area.
• Use a patch, and an omni directional antenna to provide 360 degree coverage for landing approaches
• Use antennas with opposite circular polarization to ensure that stronger CP reflections are used

32 Channel Support

Version 4 of the Duo5800 introduces 32 channel support. Four bands are fully supported, including the standard ‘Airwave’ band used for all ImmersionRC and FatShark 5.8GHz transmitters to date.

All other common 5.8GHz FPV frequencies are also fully supported, including Boscam, Team Black Sheep, DJI, etc.

Filtered Inputs

To eliminate the range-reducing effects of co-located UHF, or 2.4GHz uplinks, the Duo5800 is equipped with two high-performance RF filters, one on each of it’s independent receiver inputs.

The Smart Receiver

The Duo5800 is the first in a line of ‘smart’ receivers, designed for single-cable, plug and play, integration with the ImmersionRC Antenna Tracker (v2)  system. Power, Audio, Video, and a bidirectional data link, are all passed through a single Mini-Din connector, connected to the Antenna Tracker.

A Patch Above

Directly connect one of the Duo5800’s SMA inputs to an ImmersionRC 5.8GHz, 13dBi patch antenna for a serious range boost. Connect two of them to cover a larger area, with automatic switching between the two.

Install the Duo, and it’s antennas on an antenna tracker to follow a model around the sky. The 13dBi patch provides at least a factor of 4 increase in range, even for license-free 25mW Transmitters.
