Hack LightBridge and use A different link

[mitchyrates]

Hi,

Thanks in advance,
Long story short is we need to use the inspire 2 (no other drone can work for our purposes with enough speed)

We are shooting in a live broadcast environment and as everybody knows Light Bridge is absolutely rubbish in congested areas, its far to delayed and unreliable.

Our goal is to some how find some one who can Hack the DJI Inspire 2 system and allow us to attach a Broadcast Quality Link to the drone to transmit our HD 1080i footage instead of using Lightbridge.

This would need either SDI or HDMI output from the drone some where. has any one heard of any companies doing this or is it even possible? obviously if any one could do it, it would be paid for.

Cheers,
Mitch

Hi Mitch.
Did you ever find a solution for this issue?
-Thanks Nikolaj

Lightbridge uses WiMAX transmitter, either Analog Devices AD9363 or chinese knock-off Artosyn AR8003.
For AD part, we do have specification, so we could re-configure it according to spec using SPI instructions sent from STM32 micro-controller.

Actually, there already is a tool which does such changes. Currently it only allows exporting/importing transmission power though, and not sure if it even supports Inspire series.
