1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product Features
15 KM Wireless Digital Image Transmission
Dual-Channel Full HD Video Stream
The link of MK15 is based on SIYI’s independent wireless HD image transmission
technology, which is an all-in-one link integrated with remote control, datalink, and
video streaming. The technology has a smart feature that the transmission can
automatically adapt to the frequency band with least interference.

*With standard omni antennas, the transmission range is up to 15 kilometers.
*With directional antennas, the transmission range is up to 30 kilometers.
*To experience the lowest latency, it is suggested to use SIYI FPV app (choosing SIYI camera
protocol) or SIYI QGC app (integrated SIYI camera protocol).
5.5-Inch High-Definition Monitor
1000-Nit High Brightness Display
MK15 handheld ground station comes with a built-in 7-inch high-definition and high
brightness monitor. Max 1000 nit (cd/m²) of brightness presents high clear screen
display information from ground control software and high-quality images.
Android OS, Superior Performance
MK15 handheld ground station carries Qualcomm 8-core CPU, which can smoothly
decode 1080p 60 fps video stream by hardware in either H264 or H265 format and
can efficiently run various ground control software.
5
*MK15 Android platform also comes with full band 4G network and supports streaming HD video
to cloud server by SDK development.
OSD Telemetry Display
SIYI link supports to display data telemetry and OSD information display based on
the Mavlink protocol in SIYI FPV app. The OSD display style can be adjusted, and
combined with high-definition image transmission, you can enjoy the endless fun of
first-person view.
Dual Operator, Efficient Collaboration
Targeting popular industry application fields, relying on wireless high-definition
image transmission technology, SIYI has given the MK32 / HM30 / MK15 link the
feature of dual operator.
The "dual operator" function is developed for dual-operator scenarios and supports
up to two ground units to establish links with the same air unit at the same time.
One can be used to control the flight attitude of the drone, and the other can be
used to control the gimbal camera, optical pod, and other payloads. In dual operator
mode, two ground units can simultaneously acquire images from the same camera
source or display images from different camera sources separately.

*To use the "dual operator" "Remote Control Relay" "Wireless Repeater" function, you need to
purchase a dual & repeater combo. Ordinary combos are not equipped with this function.

Targeting the field of drone logistics, relying on wireless high-definition image
transmission technology, SIYI has endowed the MK32 / HM30 / MK15 link with the
feature of remote-control relay.
The "remote-control relay" function is developed for ultra-long-distance flight
missions. It supports two ground units to relay control the same air unit to reach a
maximum transmission distance twice that of a single standard transmission system.
It can be widely used in cruise line inspection, unmanned distribution, unmanned
logistics and other fields.

*To use the "dual operator" "Remote Control Relay" "Wireless Repeater" function, you need to
purchase a dual & repeater combo. Ordinary combos are not equipped with this function.
Wireless Repeater, Range Extender
Targeting deep industry application fields, relying on wireless high-definition image
transmission technology, SIYI has given the MK32 / HM30 / MK15 link wireless
repeater features.
The "wireless repeater" function is developed for scenarios that cannot be fully
covered by the traditional end-to-end paired transmission system. It supports one
ground unit to relay transmission to the air unit through another ground unit,
achieving up to twice the standard transmission of a single system. The repeater
system can bypass obstacles or other obstructions, which can effectively solve the
painful needs in tunnel inspection, mountainous drone applications and other fields.
*To use the "dual operator" "Remote Control Relay" "Wireless Repeater" function, you need to p
urchase a repeater combo. Ordinary combos are not equipped with this function.

Waterproof FPV Gimbal and FPV Camera
When using MK15 for agriculture operations in complex and harsh environments, it
is recommended to use the A2 mini waterproof ultra-wide-angle FPV gimbal. The
large FOV allows you to have an unobstructed view. The drone can gain insight into
the field conditions without adjusting its attitude during flight, helping the operator
to make quick judgments and ensure work safety.
It can also be equipped with an IP67 waterproof camera with lights, which is not
afraid of erosion and corrosion by chemical liquids, and fundamentally meets the
needs of cleaning and maintenance.
Compatible with Popular Agriculture Flight Controllers and Drone Models
After years of effort in the front-line market, the MK15 handheld ground station has
won the praise of EFT, JIYI, VK-FLY, and BOYING, which are deeply rooted in the

2.2 Important Instructions on Promotion to Communication Range

and Video Fluency
To have the best communication range and video fluency with MK32 / MK15 system,
please carefully read the below tips for antenna options, antenna setup, and link
configuration.
2.2.1 General Precautions
1. It is suggested that not to run SIYI FPV app and QGroundControl app
simultaneously with video streaming, not even running one at backstage, as it
still occupies bandwidth thereby lower the communication range.
2. Only power batteries are allowed to power the air unit. HD image transmission
system requires very high standard to the current of power supply, the instancy
of the current response, and the current ripple. Power supply from the third-party
power module, modified power module or from PDB may interfere the link
stability and the communication range. If you do not need the power module, it
is suggested that you use the HM30 air unit.
33
2.2.2 General Antenna Options and Wireless Mode Configuration for Different
Range
1. 0 to 10 Kilometers Range
Two standard omni antennas on ground unit.
Wireless mode: 5 km or 8 km low latency.
2. 10 to 15 Kilometers Range
Two standard omni antennas or two standard long-range antennas on ground
unit.
Wireless mode: 15 km GCS.
3. 15 to 30 Kilometers GCS Flight
Two standard long-range antennas or higher gain patch antennas on ground
unit.
Wireless mode: 24 km GCS.
4. The signal at the top of the standard omnidirectional antenna is weak. When
flying directly above the ground, the flying height of the aircraft should be as low
as 100 meters.
34
5. When the ground unit is working with long range antennas or patch antennas,
the aircraft should always be in front of the antenna panel instead of being
vertical of the antenna or on opposite.
6. Only the standard omni antennas are suggested for the air unit. If your aircraft
is too small to mount the omni antennas, or you worry about the weak signal of
the top part, then you can consider using SIYI lollipop antennas. Lollipop
antennas performs shorter range than the standard omni antennas.
2.2.3 How to Place the Standard Omni Antennas on Ground Unit
1. The SMA connectors should be screwed tightly.
2. The antennas should stand vertically from the control panel of the ground unit,
and the antennas’ flat side should always point to the aircraft or the vehicle. Do
not cross or overlap the antennas during mission.
35
2.2.4 How to Place the Long-Range Patch Antennas on Ground Unit
2. Long-range patch antennas are directional, which should always be pointing to
the aircraft during flight.
3. When you are using SIYI standard long-range antennas, please make its short
side be parallel with horizon and its long side be vertical of the control panel to
get the best signal quality.
2.2.5 How to Place Air Unit Antennas
2. On multirotor, the standard omni antennas should be hanging vertically from
the drone arms with the antenna heads pointing to ground, and the antenna flat
side should always point to the ground unit during flight. On plane, the standard
omni antenna can stand vertically above the wings, and the antenna flat side
should always point to the ground unit during flight.
36
3. The air unit antenna feeder wire should be placed away from E.S.C and motors,
and any other equipment with heavy current or interference. Do not cross or
overlap the antenna feeder wires.
4. The antenna body, feeder wire, and the SMA connectors should not touch the
metal / carbon-fiber structure parts directly. Please reserve at least 10 mm
distance between these parts and the structure parts.
5. The two air unit antennas should be placed away from each other for at least
50 mm distance. And try your best to avoid any kinds of obstruction between
the ground unit and the aircraft during flight.
6. Please be very careful with the antenna wire’s SMA connectors and its solder
connectors. Do not drag them or bend them in case of any damage. To adjust
the position of the antenna, please always try to bend the middle part of the
antenna feeder wires.
CAUTION
As shown in the picture below, for small and medium-sized multi-rotor drones, the air unit
antenna should be placed downward perpendicular to the arm to keep the flat surface of the
antenna facing the direction of the remote controller.
37
As shown in the figure below, for large multi-rotor drones, the air unit antenna should be
placed vertically downwards from the motor base to keep the flat surface of the antenna
facing the direction of the remote control.
38
As shown in the figure below, for fixed-wing aircraft, the air unit antenna can be placed
vertically to the wings or vertical tail upwards and try to keep the flat surface of the antenna
facing the direction of the remote controller.
39

4.7 Solutions to Disconnection
When the remote controller is in good communication with the air unit, but it fails to
establish datalink connection with GCS, please try to follow the steps below for
troubleshooting.
1. Confirm if the air unit is wired to the flight controller by correct telemetry cable.
2. If you are using a customized telemetry cable, please check:
⚫ If cable pin map is correct?
⚫ If the TX and RX pins in the flight controller and air unit telemetry port are
swapped?
3. In “SIYI TX” app, go to the “Link Status” page to check communication status.
When the communication is good, “data download” is not 0. If it is “0”, please go
back to check step 1 and 2.
4. In “SIYI TX” app, go to the “Datalink” page and check:
⚫ If “Connection” is correctly configured?
⚫ If “Flight Controller” is correctly configured?
⚫ If “Baud Rate” matches with your flight controller?
⚫ In the GCS, check if the datalink settings are correctly configured.
5. If it is PX4 / Ardupilot open-source flight controller, please try to switch telemetry
cable connection between the TELEM 1 port and the TELEM 2 port on flight
controller.
6. If both the remote controller and air unit are the latest firmware?
102

5.6 SIYI FPV SDK Guide
SIYI provides the SIYI FPV SDK to help professional Android application developers
to integrate the unique features in SIYI FPV app to their own GCS.
5.6.1 Access Method
a) Add “fpvlib” into Your Project

Copy the “fpvlib.aar” file to the “libs” folder in your “module” like below:
Revise the “build.gradle” file:
b) Configure “AndroidManifest” File

Add USB reading authorization to the “AndroidManifest” file in your “module” and configure the
“intent-filter” file.
125
c) Add FPV Display Function into Code
Add JNI Library

Like the example below, add JNI library file into the “main” directory, then the “so” library file can
be copied from “demo” to your project directory.
Add FPV Video Display to Code

Please pay attention to the below points for your code:
⚫ Firstly, use the static method “getInstances()” of “ConnectionManager” to get the
“ConnectionManager” object. Then call the “ConnectionManager.checkConnectWithIntent()”
method in the lifecycle method “onCreate()” and “onNewIntent()”.
⚫ Video stream should be displayed through “SurfaceView”. So, we create an “SurfaceView”
object and need to call “ConntionManager.notifySurfaceCreate()” and “notifySurfaceDestroy”
method from “surfaceCreated()” and “surfaceDestroy()”.
126
mSurfaceView.getHolder().addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
Logcat.d(TAG, "onSurfaceCreated...");
mConnectionManager.notifySurfaceCreate(holder.getSurface());
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width
, int height) {
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mConnectionManager.notifySurfaceDestroy(holder.getSurface());
}
});
⚫ Dual-Channel FPV Display:

Dual-channel FPV display supports Ethernet connection only. It does not support AOA or USB
connection. For dual-channel FPV display, we should configure the IP addresses first, then create
two “SurfaceView” for image display. Whether the second video stream is required or not can be
judged by the connection type through connection status. You can refer to “demo” for detail.
⚫ When you quit the application, please do not forget to call the
“UsbConnectionManager.release()” method.
For more detail, please refer to the codes in “demo”.
