1.3 What is the SOLO7 HD Nano Transmitter?
The SOLO7 HD Nano Transmitter is an ultra-miniature COFDM digital video transmitter from
Cobham Tactical Communications and Surveillance, designed specifically for Point-of-View
(PoV) and body-worn applications.
With proven Cobham COFDM and H.264 encoder technology at its core, the exceptionally
small size and ultra-low power consumption (typically 7.5W) HD Nano Transmitter enables
production teams to offer viewers stunning high definition images from the heart of the
action, in situations never previously possible due to equipment size and battery run-time
constraints.
The small size and ultra-low power consumption make the HD Nano TX ideal for UAV
‘Octocopter’ installations, enabling true long range HD broadcasting from these increasingly
popular devices for the first time. Optional lightweight, low power consumption amplifiers are
also available for even greater range capability.
The HD Nano Transmitter employs ultra-low latency High Profile H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC)
encoding for excellent image quality retention over the wireless link and supports composite,
SDI, HD-SDI and HDMI video input formats.
The HD Nano Transmitter offers numerous modulation options to suit various deployment
scenarios:
 Industry standard DVB-T modulation for full HD quality and compatibility with existing
systems
 Cobham UMVL modulation for enhanced high speed operation (motorsports) and
improved performance at high frequencies (6 & 7GHz)
