Page 6: Video Transmitter Pinout
Despite being plug and play with the TBS CORE , TBS CORE PNP PRO , PNP25, PNP50 - the UNIFY PRO can also be directly soldered to cameras or custom power distribution boards. See the pinout below: TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV The UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV comes with wires ready to be assembled into your own projects. Should you want to connect it to TBS products such as the TBS CORE , TBS CORE PNP PRO, PNP25/PNP50, etc, you will need to modify the camera pinout to match the VTx input socket. -
Page 7: Tbs Core Pro Control
TBS CORE PRO Control The TBS UNIFY PRO was built with the TBS CORE PRO in mind. Controlling your drone via the R/C joystick was a concept first introduced by the BrainFPV FC. TBS has extended this functionality to the entire PowerCube, allowing you to change not only the FC settings but also the video transmitter channels and output power. -
Page 8: Custom Frequencies
The video frequency does not change instantly. It will wait for you to exit the menu and then change to the new frequency as indicated in the last line. Custom frequencies The latest CORE PRO software unlocks something truly revolutionary. Finding empty channels - or ones that are not accidentally stomped upon - is nearly impossible with the big number of new FPV pilots storming into the hobby. -
Page 9: Technology Showcase
Technology Showcase PitMode A new feature introduced with the TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV is PitMode. It allows racers to power up their video transmitters during race events without interfering with other racers. PitMode can be entered either by pushing down the button while powering up your drone, or by enabling PitMode via OSD. - Page 10 SmartAudio V2.0. The new version supports control for the new features (e.g. PitMode). SmartAudio is a single-wire UART protocol, running over the Audio wire. If you are a OSD or VTx developer interested in adding support for SmartAudio, please create a support ticket with us so we can supply you with the technical documentation: http://team-blacksheep.freshdesk.com/ ●...

Page 12: Good Practices
Good practices We have compiled a list of all of practices which have been tried and tested in countless environments and situations by the TBS crew and other experienced FPV pilots. Follow these simple rules, even if rumors on the internet suggest otherwise, and you will have success in FPV. ●... - Page 13 ● Try to achieve as much separation of the VTx and R/C receiver as possible to lower the RF noise floor and EMI interference. ● Do not buy the cheapest equipment unless it is proven to work reliably (e.g. parts falling off, multitudes of bug fix firmware updates, community hacks and mods are a good indicator of poor quality and something you do NOT want to buy for a safe system).
