FrSky TANDEM X20 HD (UpKit) Manual
Introduction
FrSky Tandem X20 series HD radio system provides the perfect solution for FPV flying and pilots preferring an
easier operation with fewer devices. The HD version of the X20 radio system includes an integrated FPV screen
supporting 720p 60FPS video quality, removing the need for a standalone FPV screen. When combining the HD
720p 60FPS video with near 0ms low latency digital video transmission technology, the X20 HD radio will provide
more enjoyment and confidence when FPV flying tours. The built-in video receiver module is compatible with all
HDZero video transceiver (VTX) products.
The X20 HD radio package includes a 5.8G antenna kit. The circularly polarized directional antennas ensure that
the radio receives optimum video transmission signals, even in complex RF environments. The HD version of the
X20 radio also provides an HDMI output which can be used to easily transfer the HD video to an external monitor
or device if required, this provides a great solution if you wish to use your existing FPV goggles which support
HDMI-in, removing the need for separate HDZero video receiver attached to your goggles.
