1.
Backup video recorder toggle (if on, the application will automatically record the live video stream
when the drone is armed). We highly recommend leaving this switched on, as having this backup is
extremely useful in case aircraft is lost. By default, video recording is enabled, except on specific tablet
models on which this video recording feature is known to create instability.
2.
Thermal camera field-of-vision delimiter shape, with the option to hide it
3.
Remote controller HDMI output format* (sets video signal attributes for external monitor plugged on
the remote controller HDMI port).
4.
Unit system for altimeter (metric = meters, imperial = feet)
5.
Set the camera resolution recording (Only on ELIOS 2, and cannot be changed during flight)
6.
Only on ELIOS 2. When enabled, the lighting is 60% more powerful and uses 80% less power. As a
result, your ELIOS 2 will fly longer, and deliver brighter and sharper images. It also simulates the a
global shutter and therefore improves photogrammetry results. DISCLAIMER: The lights will flash at
30Hz and might create discomfort, dizziness and put epileptic persons at risk.
7.
Only on ELIOS 2 –If enabled, the camera range is limited to +75º to -15º, delivering cage-free images.
The pilot is still able to access the full panning range by forcing the panning either by holding the
control wheel or by letting go and moving it again.
8.
Only on ELIOS 2 – The close-up LED can be handled automatically by the aircraft or controlled
manually. If in automatic mode, the close up light will turn on when the measured distance to an
object is smaller than 90cm.
9.
Only on ELIOS2 – if the HDMI video feed signal cable is damaged, you can use the SD video feed.
* Only the output signal from the remote controller is affected; the onboard camera of Elios delivers 30 frames
per second even if the HDMI port video mode is set to a higher framerate
