Overview
BETAFPV P1 Air Unit HD VTX is an HD VTX (FPV digital video transmitter) in the ArtLynk protocol ecosystem. It provides a 1080p@60fps live view with approximately 60ms latency and a video transmission range of over 5km, paired with a 1/2.9'' CMOS camera featuring a wide 170° field of view.
Key Features
- ArtLynk protocol for low-latency, long-range HD FPV video transmission.
- Live view quality: 1080p@60fps; video transmission latency: approx. 60ms.
- Video transmission range: >5km (range varies by environment and interference).
- VTX frequency: 5.1-5.9 GHz; max EIRP: <200mW (FCC/SRRC), <25mW (CE); 10MHz bandwidth; 3 channels; single antenna.
- Camera: 1/2.9'' CMOS sensor, 170° FOV, Canvas mode OSD, max video transmission bitrate 20Mbps.
- Ports/connectors: SH 1.0 6-pin (FC) and SH 1.0 4-pin (USB); labeled Bind Button, USB Port, Camera Port, LED, Antenna Port, FC Port.
- Artosyn Inside & KAP Supported (Artosyn AR803X chipset noted within the ArtLynk ecosystem).
- Standby Mode adjusts power based on the distance between the goggles and the drone to help keep the live view connected.

Firmware Compatibility Notes
- For compatibility with third-party ArtLynk protocol equipment (example: HGLRC Draco), update BETAFPV devices to firmware version V2.0.5 or later.
- The air unit is updated via the ground station. Ensure the ground station and air unit are on the same firmware version before updating. Firmware V2.0.5 is not compatible with V1 versions (V1.0.36 / V1.0.44).
| Ground Station | Air Unit | Actions Required |
| V1 | V1 | Update both to V2 |
| V1 | V2 | Update ground station to V2 |
| V2 | V1 | Downgrade ground station to V1, then update both to V2 |
| V2 | V2 | Ready to use |
