Relatively new to the market, the Rapidfire is a OrqaFPV.One and FatShark compatible FPV goggle module from Immersion RC that features some highly sophisticated software that is able to squeeze the best possible video from our quads analogue system. We will be taking a look at this in detail and deciding if it really is an improvement on the markets current offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A typical diversity fpv video receiver module<\/a> features two separate receivers and uses a switching algorithm to always use the one with the strongest signal. What makes Rapidfire special is it’s software which instead of switching between the modules, combines the images in real time along with some clever techniques in order to build the clearest possible picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How it works is a bit of a secret however Immersion RC have called it ‘Analogue Plus’; here’s how they describe it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not \u2018just\u2019 a diversity module, but a module that has intimate knowledge of analog video signals. A module that can repair the damage caused as the 5.8GHz analog signal bounces around the environment. The rapidFIRE module fuses images together, predicts noise before it is visible, rebuilds analog signals to avoid tearing, rolling, and dropped DVR frames, all with zero added latency.This is more than Analog, but not Digital, so we called it \u2018Analog Plus\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This all sounds very clever and exciting but the big question is does it actually make a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the link if you want to dive deeper into diversity receiver<\/a> technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
