Multicasting to Multiple Ground Units
Overview
A single Air Unit can transmit video downlink to up to four Ground Units. This is called
multicasting . The following procedure describes how to pair an additional Ground Unit with
the same Air Unit.
Note: The Air and Ground Units provided in the same box are preconfigured to
automatically search for and connect to each other. Therefore, there is no need to perform
this procedure on the Air Unit / Ground Unit provided in the same box.
Note: Controlling the Air Unit's camera gimbal is not supported when multicasting to more
than two Ground Units.
Pairing Additional Ground Units with an Air Unit
 To pair an additional Ground Unit with an Air Unit:
1 Set up the additional Ground Unit, as described in the Setting Up the CONNEX Air Unit
section on page 25.
The Ground Unit must be placed between one and 10 meters from the Air Unit. Each
Ground Unit must be placed at least a few meters away from other Ground Units in
order to enable optimal reception.
The following message is then displayed on the monitor connected to the Ground Unit’s
HDMI port (Figure 11).

Press the Air Unit’s Link button for five seconds until the Network LED starts blinking.
After the LED begins blinking, the following message is displayed on the monitor
